# Approval-engine token contract
|
|
|
|
Static client registrations may set `audience: approval-engine`. This selects
|
|
only the access-token audience; OIDC ID tokens retain `aud=clientId`. Omitting
|
|
`audience` preserves the existing client-ID access audience, including OpenBao
|
|
consumers. Request `audience` and `resource` parameters cannot override it.
|
|
Access tokens contain the granted `scope` string for both supported grant types.
|
|
|
|
`config/service-clients.example.yaml` provides the two requested confidential
|
|
clients: secrets-engine-approval gets read/consume, and approval-engine-operator
|
|
gets lifecycle/observation scopes without consume. Service tokens contain
|
|
`principal_type=service`, tenant, roles, scope, assurance, issuer, subject,
|
|
audience, issue time and expiry; the lifetime is 15 minutes. The issuer signs
|
|
with RS256 and publishes its public key through `/jwks`.
|
|
|
|
Human approvers need a separate authorization-code/PKCE registration with an
|
|
exact deployment-owned callback, `audience: approval-engine`,
|
|
`allowedScopes: [openid, approval:approve]`, and `mfaRequired: true`. Do not add
|
|
consume or other approval grants to that client. No callback is invented here.
|
|
The ID token is for the login client; present the access token to approval-engine.
|
|
|
|
These fragments are not live registrations. Deployment requires custody-managed
|
|
values for the named environment references, the exact human callback, and a
|
|
rollout of this version. Never log the token or secret. Verify the resulting
|
|
access token against the deployed issuer's `/jwks`, checking issuer, audience,
|
|
expiry, subject, principal type, tenant, roles, scope and assurance. Verify that
|
|
operator consume and human consume requests are rejected. Local tests verify
|
|
signatures against the JWKS handler; they do not constitute live issuance proof.
|
|
|
|
KeyCape owns issuance and client grants/disablement. OpenBao and the deployment
|
|
operator own credential custody; approval-engine enforces its resource policy.
