Method Signature

Input Parameters

Name

userOpenIdCredentials

Object Type

UserOpenIdCredentials

Description

The user credentials for authentication by OpenID parameter map.

Output Response

Successful Result Code

200

Response Type

string

Description of Response Type

The response is the security token as a base64 string. It is usually stored in a cookie.

Notes

The security token is a string that needs to be added to a cookie on the third party host page for any embedded content to ensure the access is authorized. The assumption is that the user has already authenticated via OPENID in the hosting application before attempting to authenticate into Pyramid.

Examples

ClosedAuthenticate User for Embedding with OpenID:

This example demonstrates how to authenticate a user for embedding using OpenID.

// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 3.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api3/";

// Domain of the Pyramid installation
var domainName = "YOUR_DOMAIN"

// The response from the OpenId authentication
var openIdToken = "YOUR_OPEN_ID_TOKEN(RESPONSE)";


      function getAuthToken() {
        var URL = pyramidURL + "/authentication/authenticateUserEmbedOPENID";
        var credentials = {
          parameterMap: {
					id_token: openIdToken,
					state: "preferred_username",
				}
        };

        fetch(URL, {
          method: "POST",
          credentials: "include",
          body: JSON.stringify(credentials),
        })
          .then((response) => response.text())
          .then((token) => console.log("fetch: " + token));
      }

      getAuthToken();
