= Requesting Authorization Data and Token
|
|
|
|
Client applications using the UMA protocol can use a specific endpoint to obtain a special security token called a <<_service_rpt_overview, Requesting Party Token (RPT)>>.
|
|
This token consists of all the permissions granted to a user as a result of the evaluation of the permissions and authorization policies associated with the resources being requested.
|
|
With an RPT, client applications can gain access to protected resources at the resource server.
|
|
|
|
.UMA compliant Authorization API Endpoint
|
|
```bash
|
|
http://${host}:${port}/auth/realms/${realm_name}/authz/authorize
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When requesting an RPT, you need to provide two things:
|
|
|
|
* A <<_service_protection_permission_api_papi, permission ticket>> representing the resources you want to access
|
|
* The <<_service_authorization_aat, Authorization API token (AAT)>> (as a bearer token) representing a user's identity and his consent to access authorization data on his behalf.
|
|
|
|
The permission ticket is added to an HTTP request as a parameter whether the AAT is included in a ```Authorization``` header in order to authenticate the request
|
|
using the AAT as a bearer token.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${AAT}" -d '{
|
|
"ticket" : ${PERMISSION_TICKET}
|
|
}' "http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/hello-world-authz/authz/authorize"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As a result, the server response is:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"rpt":"${RPT}"}
|
|
```
