NetID

Follow these steps to add NetID as a social sign-in provider to your project using the Ory CLI:

  1. Create a NetID Service and NetID Client.

  2. In the created app, set the redirect URI to:

    https://{project.slug}.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/netid
  3. Create a Jsonnet code snippet to map the desired claims to the Ory Identity schema.

    local claims = {
    email_verified: false
    } + std.extVar('claims');

    {
    identity: {
    traits: {
    // Allowing unverified email addresses enables account
    // enumeration attacks, if the value is used for
    // verification or as a password login identifier.
    //
    // Therefore we only return the email if it (a) exists and (b) is marked verified
    // by NetID.
    [if "email" in claims && claims.email_verified then "email" else null]: claims.email,
    },
    },
    }
    info

    NetID returns only the sub and sub_legacy claims in the id_token. Ory makes a request to NetID's /userinfo API and adds the user info to std.extVar('claims').

danger

Don't save secrets such as API keys, credentials, or personal data directly in Jsonnet code snippets. Jsonnet code snippets used for data mapping aren't stored in an encrypted format in The Ory Network.

  1. Encode the Jsonnet snippet with Base64 or host it under an URL accessible to The Ory Network.

    cat your-data-mapping.jsonnet | base64
  2. Download the Ory Identities config from your project and save it to a file:

    ## List all available projects
    ory list projects

    ## Get config
    ory get identity-config {project-id} --format yaml > identity-config.yaml
  3. Add the social sign-in provider configuration to the downloaded config. Add the Jsonnet snippet with mappings as a Base64 string or provide an URL to the file.

    selfservice:
    methods:
    oidc:
    config:
    providers:
    - id: netid # this is `<provider-id>` in the Authorization callback URL. DO NOT CHANGE IT ONCE SET!
    provider: netid
    client_id: .... # Replace this with the OAuth2 Client ID provided by NetID
    client_secret: .... # Replace this with the OAuth2 Client Secret provided by NetID
    mapper_url: "base64://{YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_JSONNET_HERE}"
    # Alternatively, use an URL:
    # mapper_url: https://storage.googleapis.com/abc-cde-prd/9cac9717f007808bf17f22ce7f4295c739604b183f05ac4afb4t
    requested_claims: # for more information navigate to https://developerzone.netid.dev/sso/#claims-and-scopes
    userinfo:
    email:
    essential: true
    email_verified:
    essential: true
    id_token:
    email:
    essential: true
    email_verified:
    essential: true
    scope:
    - email
    - openid
    enabled: true
  4. Update the Ory Identities configuration using the file you worked with:

    ory update identity-config {project-id} --file updated_config.yaml
