User Profiles - OAuth Authentication

The requested user profile may be rendered and consumed by the application using the following options.

• Nested
• Flat
• Custom

• By default, the requested user profile is rendered using a NESTED format where the authenticated principal and attributes are placed inside id and attributes tags respectively in the final structure.

  {
    "id": "casuser",
    "attributes": {
      "email": "casuser@example.org",
      "name": "CAS"
    },
    "something": "else"
  }
  

• This option flattens principal attributes by one degree, putting them at the same level as id. Other nested elements in the final payload are left untouched.

    "something": "else"
  }
  

• If you wish to create your own profile structure, you will need to design a component and register it with CAS to handle the rendering of the user profile:

  public class MyOAuthConfiguration {

      @RefreshScope(proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.DEFAULT)
      public OAuth20UserProfileViewRenderer oauthUserProfileViewRenderer() {
          ...
      }
  }
