Configure dynamic Yves-Zed tokens

Last updated:

This document describes how to improve security between Yves and Zed communication layers by implementing dynamic Yves-Zed tokens.

A dynamic Yves-Zed token is an OAuth token that is refreshed after running docker/sdk bootstrap.

What is OAuth?

The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.
See The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework to learn more about OAuth.

Why should you implement dynamic Yves-Zed tokens?

With frequent token rotation, the chances of a token being compromised are reduced to a minimum.

How are Yves-Zed tokens generated?

After running docker/sdk bootstrap, you can find all the tokens in environment variables (env variables). You can find parameters that are responsible for token generation and respective env variables in the table below.

PARAMETER PARAMETER DESCRIPTION ENV VARIABLE DESCRIPTION OF ENV VARIABLE VALUE
OauthConstants::PUBLIC_KEY_PATH and OauthCryptographyConstants::PUBLIC_KEY_PATH SSH public key. SPRYKER_OAUTH_KEY_PUBLIC
OauthConstants::PRIVATE_KEY_PATH SSH private key. SPRYKER_OAUTH_KEY_PRIVATE
OauthConstants::ENCRYPTION_KEY Encrypts data when generating tokens. SPRYKER_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY Consists of 48 characters in lower and upper case Latin letters and digits.
OauthConstants::OAUTH_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER OAuth client identifier for requesting access tokens. SPRYKER_OAUTH_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER The value is always frontend.
OauthConstants::OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET OAuth client secret for requesting access tokens. SPRYKER_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET Consists of 48 characters in lower and upper case Latin letters and digits.
SecuritySystemUserConstants::AUTH_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS['yves_system']['token'] Enables access from Yves to Zed. SPRYKER_ZED_REQUEST_TOKEN Consists of 80 characters in lower and upper case Latin letters and digits.

Configuring dynamic Yves-Zed tokens

To configure dynamic Yves-Zed tokens:

  1. Install or update the Docker SDK to version 1.27.1 or higher.

  2. Inconfig/Shared/config_default.php, update the following parameters:

    • OauthConstants::PUBLIC_KEY_PATH and OauthCryptographyConstants::PUBLIC_KEY_PATH
    $config[OauthConstants::PUBLIC_KEY_PATH]
    = $config[OauthCryptographyConstants::PUBLIC_KEY_PATH]
    = str_replace(
    '__LINE__',
    PHP_EOL,
    getenv('SPRYKER_OAUTH_KEY_PUBLIC') ?: ''
) ?: null;
    • OauthConstants::PRIVATE_KEY_PATH
    $config[OauthConstants::PRIVATE_KEY_PATH] = str_replace(
    '__LINE__',
    PHP_EOL,
    getenv('SPRYKER_OAUTH_KEY_PRIVATE') ?: ''
) ?: null;
    • OauthConstants::ENCRYPTION_KEY
    $config[OauthConstants::ENCRYPTION_KEY] = getenv('SPRYKER_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY') ?: null;
    • OauthConstants::OAUTH_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER
    $config[OauthConstants::OAUTH_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER] = getenv('SPRYKER_OAUTH_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') ?: null;
    • OauthConstants::OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
    $config[OauthConstants::OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET] = getenv('SPRYKER_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET') ?: null;
    • SecuritySystemUserConstants::AUTH_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS['yves_system']['token']
    $config[SecuritySystemUserConstants::AUTH_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS] = [
    'yves_system' => [
        'token' => getenv('SPRYKER_ZED_REQUEST_TOKEN') ?: '',
    ],
];

  3. To prevent the configuration from being rewritten, remove require 'common/config_oauth-development.php'; from the following Docker configuration files:

  4. config_default-docker.php

  5. config_default-docker.ci.php

  6. config_default-docker.dev.php

You’ve configured dynamic Yves-Zed tokens.
