OAuthInfo | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30

This class contains information about an OAuth 2.0 configuration. Use it in combination with the IdentityManager widget to aid in working with OAuth 2.0 authentication.

One-step authentication has been superseded by the recommended two-step approach with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE).

This update coincides with recommendations in the OAuth 2.1 specification. Although one-step authentication is still supported, the API will no longer default to this. If needing to retain this setting, it is necessary to set flowType to implicit.

Please refer to the 4.23 Release Notes for additional information regarding this update.

Example

require(["esri/identity/OAuthInfo", "esri/identity/IdentityManager"],

Property Details

appId Property appId String

The registered application id.

authNamespace Property authNamespace String

Applications with the same value will share the stored token on the same host.

Default Value:/ (forward slash)

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

expiration Property expiration Number

The number of minutes that the token is valid.

Default Value:20160 (two weeks)

flowType Property flowType String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23 OAuthInfo since 4.0, flowType added at 4.23.

Set this property to specify the type of authentication to use. One-step authentication has been superseded in favor of the recommended two-step approach (ie. grant_type=authorization-code).

This update coincides with recommendations in the OAuth 2.1 recommendation.

Possible Value	Description
auto	Recommended. Automatically defaults to two-step authentication with PKCE if accessing resources from ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise version 10.9 or higher. One-step authentication is used if accessing an earlier version of ArcGIS Enterprise.
authorization-code	Similar to `auto`, this also uses two-step authentication with PKCE, but this does not check the server version. Do not use this type if accessing resources on older server versions without PKCE support.
implicit	One-step authentication. This is no longer a recommended approach and has been superseded by two-step authentication. Use this type if working with older server versions (ie. prior to 10.9). Please refer to OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practices for additional information.

When signing into an application via a popup, the referenced callback page should be compatible for whatever authentication type is used. The default oauth-callback.html has been updated to allow for these updates in the two-step approach, although it will still work if using the one-step flow.

Possible Values:"auto" |"authorization-code" |"implicit"

Default Value:auto

Examples

// The `flowType` defaults to `auto`.
// If using a supported server/portal version, two-step authentication is used.
// If not, reverts to one-step.
const infoAuto = new OAuthInfo({
  appId: "<put client id here>"
});

// One-step workflow - no longer recommended.
// Should only be used if working with older versions of Server/Portal, (ie. < 10.9).
const infoImplicit = new OAuthInfo({
  appId: "<put client id here>",
  flowType: "implicit",
  popup: true,
  // Updated callback page works with both two-step and one-step authentication
  popupCallbackUrl: "oauth-callback.html"
});

forceUserId Property forceUserId Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18 OAuthInfo since 4.0, forceUserId added at 4.18.

Set this property to true to force the user to sign in with the id in userId. If the userId is not set, it will update after the user signs in. If the token expires, the same user will be required to sign in again.

Default Value:false

userId

locale Property locale String

The locale for the OAuth sign-in page. The default locale is based on your browser/OS and the organization locale. You can use this property to change this. The locale needs to follow the language dash country code syntax supported by ArcGIS.com.

Default Value:Based on your browser/OS and the organization locale.

intl

minTimeUntilExpiration Property minTimeUntilExpiration Number

The minimum time in minutes before a saved token is due to expire that should still be considered valid for use.

Default Value:30

popup Property popup Boolean

Set to true to show the OAuth sign-in page in a popup window. Make certain to have a valid callback page referenced in the popupCallbackUrl. A sample callback page, oauth-callback.html, is provided to help with this. The referenced callback page should be compatible for whatever authentication type is used. The default oauth-callback.html has been updated to allow for these updates in the two-step approach, although it will still work if using the one-step flow.

Default Value:false

See also

popupCallbackUrl Property popupCallbackUrl String

Applicable if working with the popup user-login workflow. This is a relative page URL that redirects the user back to the secured application after successful login.

The referenced callback page should be compatible for whatever authentication type is used. The default oauth-callback.html has been updated to allow for these updates in the two-step approach, although it will still work if using the one-step flow.

Default Value:"oauth-callback.html"

See also

popupWindowFeatures Property popupWindowFeatures String

The window features passed to window.open().

Default Value:height=490,width=800,resizable,scrollbars,status

portalUrl Property portalUrl String

The ArcGIS Enterprise portal URL.

Default Value:"https://www.arcgis.com"

preserveUrlHash Property preserveUrlHash Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 OAuthInfo since 4.0, preserveUrlHash added at 4.14.

Set this property to true when popup is false in order to have the window's location hash value restored after signing in.

Default Value:false

popup

userId Property userId String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18 OAuthInfo since 4.0, userId added at 4.18.
