== JavaScript Integration
The {{book.project.name}} Server comes with a Javascript library you can use to interact with a resource server protected by a policy enforcer. This library is based on the https://keycloak.gitbooks.io/securing-client-applications-guide/content/topics/oidc/javascript-adapter.html[Keycloak JavaScript Adapter], which means your client
should be using it to authenticate against a {{book.project.name}} Server.
You can obtain this library from a running {{book.project.name}} Server instance by including the following `script` tag in your web page:
```html
<script src="http://${KEYCLOAK_HOST}/auth/js/keycloak-authz.js"></script>
```
Once you do that, you can create a `KeycloakAuthorization` instance as follows:
```javascript
var keycloak = // obtain a Keycloak instance from keycloak.js library
var authorization = new KeycloakAuthorization(keycloak);
```
The *keycloak-authz.js* library provides two main functionalities:
* Handle responses from a resource server protected by a link:overview.html[{{book.project.name}} Policy Enforcer] and obtain a RPT with the necessary permissions to gain access to
the protected resources on the resource server
** In this case, the library can handle whatever authorization protocol the resource server is using: link:../service/authorization/authorization-api.html[UMA] or link:../service/entitlement/entitlement-api.html[Entitlements].
* Obtain permissions from a {{book.project.name}} Server using the link:../service/entitlement/entitlement-api.html[Entitlement API]
In both cases, the library allows you to easily interact with both resource server and {{book.project.name}} {{book.project.module}} in order to obtain tokens with the
necessary permissions that your client can use as bearer tokens to access the protected resources on a resource server.
=== Handling Authorization Responses from a Resource Server
If a resource server is protected by a policy enforcer, it will respond to client requests based on the permissions carried along with a link:keycloak-enforcement-bearer.html[bearer token].
Usually, when you try to access a resource server with a bearer token that is lacking permissions to access a protected resource, the resource server
will respond with a *401* status code and a `WWW-Authenticate` header.
The value of the `WWW-Authenticate` header depends on the authorization protocol in use by the resource server. Whatever protocol is in use, you can use a `KeycloakAuthorization` instance to
handle responses as follows:
```javascript
var wwwAuthenticateHeader = // extract WWW-Authenticate Header from the response in case of a 401 status code
authorization.authorize(wwwAuthenticateHeader).then(function (rpt) {
// onGrant callback function. If authorization was successful you'll receive a RPT with the necessary permissions to access the resource server
}, function () {
// onDeny callback function. Called when the authorization request is denied by the server
}, function () {
// onError callback function. Called when the server responds unexpectedly
});
```
The `authorize` function is completely asynchronous and supports a few callback functions in order to receive notifications from the server:
* `onGrant`, is the first argument of the function. If authorization was successful and the server returned a RPT with the requested permissions, the callback will receive the RPT
* `onDeny`, is the second argument of the function. Only called if the server has denied the authorization request
* `onError`, is the third argument of the function. Only called if the server responds unexpectedly
Most applications would use the `onGrant` callback to retry a request after a 401 response. Where subsequent requests should include the RPT as a bearer token.
=== Obtaining Entitlements
The keycloak-authz.js provides a `entitlement` function that you can use to obtain a RPT from the server using the Entitlement API.
```json
authorization.entitlement('my-resource-server-id').then(function (rpt) {
// onGrant callback function. If authorization was successful you'll receive a RPT with the necessary permissions to access the resource server
});
```
When using the `entitlement` function, you just need to provide the _client_id_ of the resource server you want to access.
The `entitlement` function is completely asynchronous and supports a few callback functions in order to receive notifications from the server:
* `onGrant`, is the first argument of the function. If authorization was successful and the server returned a RPT with the requested permissions, the callback will receive the RPT
* `onDeny`, is the second argument of the function. Only called if the server has denied the authorization request
* `onError`, is the third argument of the function. Only called if the server responds unexpectedly
=== Obtaining the RPT
If you have already obtained a RPT using any of the authorization functions provided by the library, you can always obtain the RPT as follows:
```javascript
var rpt = authorization.rpt;
```

== Protecting a Stateless Service Using a Bearer Token
If the adapter is configured with the `bearer-only` configuration option, the policy enforcer will decide whether a request
is allowed to access a protected resource or not based on the permissions carried along with a bearer token.
. HTTP GET example passing a RPT as a bearer token
```bash
GET /my-resource-server/my-protected-resource HTTP/1.1
Host: host.com
Authorization: Bearer ${RPT}
...
```
Where you should have a *keycloak.json* file in your application similar to the following:
.Example of WEB-INF/keycloak.json with the bearer-only configuration option
```json
...
"bearer-only" : true,
...
```
=== Authorization Response
When a client tries to access a resource server with a bearer token that is lacking permissions to access a protected resource, the resource server
will respond with a *401* status code and a `WWW-Authenticate` header. The value of the `WWW-Authenticate` header depends on the authorization protocol
in use by the resource server.
Here is an example of a response from a resource server which is using UMA as the authorization protocol:
```bash
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: UMA realm="photoz-restful-api",as_uri="http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/photoz/authz/authorize",ticket="${PERMISSION_TICKET}"
```
And another example when the resource server is using the Entitlement protocol:
```bash
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: KC_ETT realm="photoz-restful-api",as_uri="http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/photoz/authz/entitlement"
```
Once the a client receives a response from the server, it should check the status code and `WWW-Authenticate` header in order to obtain
a RPT from a {{book.project.name}} Server.
