Pairwise ID relies on sector_identifier_uri in auth request #206

@vladimir-mencl-eresearch

Description

Hi,

This is partly related to UniversitaDellaCalabria/SATOSA-oidcop#20 and UniversitaDellaCalabria/SATOSA-oidcop#21 (which give some more context).

When trying to use pairwise sub_type with oidcop, I was getting the same sub values for both public and pairwise types - and realised it was because sector_identifier being passed by create_grant to the sub functions was an empty string.

And I found it's populated with auth_req.get("sector_identifier_uri", "").

I managed to set it by explicitly including it as an extra parameter in the Authn request with:

OIDCAuthRequestParams sector_identifier_uri=client.example.org

... but this uncovers several issues:

  • generating pairwise IDs that are not really pairwise (if empty string is accepted as sector_identifier)
  • accepting arbitrary strings as sector_identifier from the client per each authn request
  • expecting the client to pass the sector_identifier_uri in each authn request (instead of solving it at registration time).

I believe this could be addressed by extending the interface of create_grant and create_session to also take a sector_identifier attribute - which would be populated from the client registration database available in the code making these calls (such as OidcOpFrontend).

Thanks a lot in advance for considering this.

Cheers,
Vlad
