Customization REST API

The Customization endpoint allows creating and managing customizations related to the HID Authentication Service IdP and other applications.

Customizations can be the themes (design and localization of the interface), or authentication workflows (authorized first and second factors, actions, etc).

Customization can also be used to define a truststore for mTLS PKI authentication for OpenID client or end users.

Supported configurations:

IDPWorkflows - authentication workflows
IDPThemes - themes to define customized interfaces and localization
Keystores - configuration to define the truststore type and keystore file

Note: The API version supported by HID Authentication Service is 10.3.0.

To use the version-specific parameters/attributes, you must add api-version=N to the query parameter.

Previous versions of the API are also supported with the corresponding functionality. For details of the version updates, see SCIM API Revision History.

POST	Create	/configuration/{tenant}/v2/Custo/{application}	Create a new customization
PUT	Replace	/configuration/{tenant}/v2/Custo/{application}/{uid}	Update a specific customization
DELETE	Delete	/configuration/{tenant}/v2/Custo/{application}/{uid}	Delete a specific customization

GET	Get customization
GET ALL	Read customization

Configure IdP Themes and Worklfows

Each configuration can contain multiple definition entries corresponding to required workflows or themes.

Each definition has a unique identifier:

Theme definition - theme_id
Workflow definition - worfklow_id

These identifiers are then defined in the OpenID client configuration and retrieved when then authentication request is processed.

For further information, see Create the Authentication Workflow and Customizing the Identity Portal.

Note: The samples below are illustrated using theme definitions in the IdPThemes configuration.

Configure a Truststore for mTLS Authentication

During the Mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication flow (PKI import or authentication), the client X.509 certificates must be forwarded to HID Authentication Service so they can be checked before issuing an access_token.

To enable the certificate check, you must define the truststore so HID Authentication Service can verify the certificate trust path in the keystore file.

You can define a specific truststore for each tenant.

Copy

Sample request to configure a truststore for a tenant

POST https://[base-server-url]/configuration/{tenant}/v2/Custo/Keystores
{
    "schemas": ["urn:hid:scim:api:idp:2.0:Customization"],
    "id": "mtls_truststore",
    "payload": {
        "truststore_type": "pem",
        "truststore_b64": "base64 encoded keystore file"
    }
}

Where:

id - unique identifier for the custom truststore
payload:
- truststore_type - type of the keystore file (for example, .pem)
- truststore_b64 - contents of the keystore file containing the full certificate chain for the certificate authority (CA) encoded in base64

Important: You must also provide the root and intermediate certificates of the certificate authority (CA) to HID Customer Service so they can be uploaded to the back-end truststore.

For further information, see Client ID and User Authentication with mTLS.
