Representation SSO Ticket Identifying Step
allowLockedUsers) If enabled, locked users are allowed to be represented.
Security note: This disables the regular checks whether a user is locked.
authenticationMethodId) Example: a system tracks two passwords per user. Password 1 is used in flow A, password 2 in flow B. These two steps must have distinct 'Authentication Method Ids', e.g. PASSWORD1 and PASSWORD2.
If only one identifier (e.g. "PASSWORD") is used, this may allow brute force attacks on the password as follows. Assuming an attacker knows the user's password 1, they get an unlimited number of attempts on flow B, as the 'PASSWORD' counter can repeatedly be reset to 0 by performing a successful login on flow A.To prevent such attacks, use two different counters by setting the authentication methods, for example, to PASSWORD1 and PASSWORD2, respectively.
ticketExtractors) ticketDecoder) acceptedSsoTicketRepository) Configures the repository used to store accepted SSO tickets and reject previously accepted ones.
The in-memory repository cannot be used if multiple instances of IAM are deployed in parallel (failover, horizontal scaling). Furthermore, the in-memory repository does not preserve previously accepted SSO tickets across IAM restarts.
usernameTicketKey) ticketTagExtractors) ticketRoleExtractors) ticketContextDataExtractors) skipCondition) If this condition is configured and fulfilled, the step is skipped and the flow execution continues with the subsequent step.
preCondition) requiresActivation) tagsOnSuccess) stepId) onFailureGotos) If the step fails (no retry) and a goto target for the error code is defined here, the flow does not fail and instead a "goto" to the specified target step is executed. Note that even when the "goto" is executed, any error codes that are considered a failed factor attempt will still increment the "failed attempts" counter, and may lead to the user being locked. Therefore, this may still result in a failed flow.
A typical application of this feature is switching to an alternative authentication factor step, if an external service (e.g. Futurae server, SMS gateway) is not available (error code EXTERNAL_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE with "Strict Counting" disabled, which will not increment the "failed attempts" counter). Other error codes can be found in the IAM REST documentation, in both the general "Error Codes" section and in the documentation of specific endpoints.
customResponseAttributes) A list of custom attributes that are returned in the REST response in addition to the standard attributes the step already returns. The custom attributes defined here are only returned if the step result does not lead to an error response.
Custom attributes are added to the response when a step is initialized and when actions are executed on the step. They will therefore be available in the response leading to this step, and in any responses from endpoints specific to this step. For non-interactive steps, custom attributes are accumulated and added to the response leading to the next interactive step.
Custom attributes are not returned for 'retrieve' endpoints.
