• The probe has been tested with Python version 2.7.x
• You may need to install (using pip) the following Python modules as they do not come with original distribution:
  • requests
  • oauthlib
  • validators
• As for the X.509 certificate based probing
  • the public and private keys should be in PEM format
  • should the private key encrypted with a passphrase, the value of -t flag should be sufficient enough to type in the secret (otherwise the prompt will disappear and the probe will fail), it is however recommended to not use the passphrase
• The probe is not compatible with Unity version earlier than 2.x.x, please use v0.3 for earlier version

The B2ACCESS probe for ARGO does the following:

• Fetch access token using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow
• Validate the access token
• Fetch user information (via REST API)
  • on the basis of the access token,
  • while authenticating with username and password, and
  • X509 certificate based authentication

• Probe robot users SHOULD have two accounts registered within B2ACCESS/UNITY: username/password and X509 certificate, former are the OAuth/OIDC client credentials
• The probe users SHOULD be a part of the group /oauth-clients or the group defined for the property unity.oauth2.as.clientsGroup inside the /UNITY-CONF/endpoints/oauth2-as.properties file, additionally they SHOULD have sys:oauth:allowedGrantFlows = client attribute defined inside the group. The attribute can also be set by filling-up the OAuth client registration form
• The users SHOULD also be a part of the group defined for the property unity.oauth2.as.usersGroup inside the /UNITY-CONF/endpoints/oauth2-as.properties file
• Mandatory attributes such as email should be stored in root group of the B2ACCESS/UNITY instance
• The UNITY administrator SHOULD enable certificate authenticator for the REST Admin endpoint (by default disabled)

Example:

unityServer.core.endpoints.x.endpointType=RESTAdmin
unityServer.core.endpoints.x.endpointConfigurationFile=conf/authenticators/empty.json
unityServer.core.endpoints.x.contextPath=/rest-admin
unityServer.core.endpoints.x.endpointRealm=defaultRealm
unityServer.core.endpoints.x.endpointName=RESTful administration API
unityServer.core.endpoints.x.endpointAuthenticators=pwdRest;certRest
