Installation

pip install cloud-idaas-core

Quick Start

Important: Before using any SDK features, you must call IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.init() to initialize the SDK. This step is required and should be done once at application startup.

1. Configuration File

Create a configuration file ~/.cloud_idaas/client_config.json:

{
    "idaasInstanceId": "your-idaas-instance-id",
    "clientId": "your-client-id",
    "issuer": "your-idaas-issuer-url",
    "tokenEndpoint": "your-idaas-token-endpoint",
    "scope": "your-requested-scope",
    "developerApiEndpoint": "your-developer-api-endpoint",
    "authnConfiguration": {
        "authenticationSubject": "CLIENT",
        "authnMethod": "CLIENT_SECRET_POST",
        "clientSecretEnvVarName": "IDAAS_CLIENT_SECRET"
    }
}

2. Environment Variables

Set environment variables:

export IDAAS_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"

3. Use in code

from cloud_idaas.core import IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory

# Initialize (automatically loads configuration file)
IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.init()

# Get credential provider
credential_provider = IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.get_idaas_credential_provider()

# Get access token
access_token = credential_provider.get_bearer_token()
print(f"Access Token: {access_token}")

Configuration Details

Configuration File Paths

The SDK searches for configuration files in the following order:

1. Pass path during initialization: IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.init("/.../client-config.json")
2. Environment variable path: CLOUD_IDAAS_CONFIG_PATH=/.../client-config.json
3. Default path: ~/.cloud_idaas/client-config.json

Configuration Items

Configuration Item	Type	Required	Description
idaasInstanceId	string	Yes	IDaaS instance ID
clientId	string	Yes	Client ID for authentication
issuer	string	Yes	OAuth2 issuer URL

Scope Format

The SDK uses a specific scope format with audience and scope values separated by |:

audience|scope_value

Examples:

• api.example.com|write:file
• resource.server|admin

Multiple scope values for the same audience can be requested:

api.example.com|read:file api.example.com|write:file

Note: Multiple audiences in a single request are not supported.

}

Token Exchange

Token Exchange (RFC 8693) allows you to exchange a subject token for a new access token with different scope or audience. This is useful for token downscoping and service-to-service access scenarios.

Basic Token Exchange

For working examples, see the samples/ directory:

• samples/token_exchange_with_client_secret_authentication.py - Token Exchange with client secret authentication

from cloud_idaas.core import IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory, OAuth2Constants

# Initialize the factory
IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.init()

# Get Token Exchange credential provider (scope from config file)
token_exchange_provider = IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.get_token_exchange_credential_provider()

# Or get with specific scope
# token_exchange_provider = IDaaSCredentialProviderFactory.get_token_exchange_credential_provider_by_scope("api://target-service|read api://target-service|write")

# Exchange subject token for access token
access_token = token_exchange_provider.get_issued_token(
    subject_token="your_subject_token",
    subject_token_type=OAuth2Constants.ACCESS_TOKEN_TYPE_VALUE,
)

Token Exchange Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
subject_token	string	Yes	The token to be exchanged
subject_token_type	string	Yes	Type of the subject token (e.g., urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token)
requested_token_type	string	No	Type of token requested (defaults to access token)

Use Cases

1. Token Downscoping: Exchange a token with broader permissions for one with limited scope
2. Service-to-Service Access: Transfer the same user identity across services to obtain the required access token
