Through the REST API

To set up OAuth-based authentication and authorization with Microsoft Entra through the REST API, follow these steps:

1. Create the external security object with code like this:

   Note:
   
   The JWT Secrets field secures both symmetric and asymmetric signature keys.

   Note:
   
   You can specify a JWKS URI to validate incoming JWT access tokens with JWKS instead of with JWT Secrets signature keys.

   JavaScript/JSON

   Copy

   curl -X POST --anyauth -k -u <username>:<password> -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ 
   -d @create_extsec.json http://<machine URI>:8002/manage/v2/external-security
   

   Contents of create_extsec.json

   Copy

   {
   "external-security-name": "MicrosoftEntraExampleOAuth",
   "description": "Microsoft Entra external security object for OAuth",
   "authentication": "oauth",

   "oauth-server": {
       "oauth-vendor": "Microsoft Entra",

       "oauth-jwt-alg": "RS256",
       "oauth-jwt-secret": [
           {
               "oauth-jwt-key-id": "XRvko8P7A3UaWSnU7bM9nT0MjhA",
               "oauth-jwt-secret-value": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----<PEM-converted RS256 JWT Secret Value>-----END PUBLIC KEY-----"
           }
       ],
       "oauth-jwks-uri": ""
   }
   }
   

   XQuery/XML

   Copy

   curl -X POST --anyauth -k -u <username>:<password> -H "Content-Type:application/xml" \ 
   -d @create_extsec.xml http://<machine URI>:8002/manage/v2/external-security
   

   Contents of create_extsec.xml

   Copy

   <external-security-properties xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage/external-security/properties">
       <external-security-name>MicrosoftEntraExampleOAuth</external-security-name>
       <description>Microsoft Entra external security object for OAuth</description>
       <authentication>oauth</authentication>
       <cache-timeout>300</cache-timeout>
       <authorization>oauth</authorization>

                   <oauth-jwt-secret-value>-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----<PEM-converted RS256 JWT Secret Value>-----END PUBLIC KEY-----</oauth-jwt-secret-value>

           <oauth-jwks-uri></oauth-jwks-uri>
       </oauth-server>
   </external-security-properties>
   

2. Create any HTTP, XDBC, WebDAV, or ODBC app servers that you wish to configure with this external security object.

3. Configure your app servers to use this external security object with code like this:

   JSON application

   Copy

   curl -X PUT --anyauth -k -u <username>:<password> -H "Content-type:application/json" \
   -d '{"external-security": "MicrosoftEntraExampleOAuth", \
   "internal-security": false, \
   "authentication": "oauth"}' \
   http://<machine URI>:8002/manage/v2/servers/<app server name>/properties?group-id=Default
   

   XML application

   Copy

   curl -X PUT --anyauth -k -u <username>:<password> -H "Content-type:application/xml" \
   -d '<http-server-properties xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage"> \
   <external-security>MicrosoftEntraExampleOAuth</external-security> \
   <internal-security>false</internal-security> \
   <authentication>oauth</authentication> \
   </http-server-properties>' \
   http://<machine URI>:8002/manage/v2/servers/<app server name>/properties?group-id=Default
   

4. Assign external names to your desired roles with code like this:

   JSON application

   Copy

   curl -X PUT --anyauth -k -u <username>:<password> -H "Content-type:application/json" \
   -d '{"external-name": "7228762e-cb30-428a-ae1a-3a8cf9e2f728"}' \
   http://<machine URI>:8002/manage/v2/roles/<MarkLogic Server role name like manage-user>/properties
   

   XML application

   Copy

   curl -X PUT --anyauth -k -u <username>:<password> -H "Content-type:application/xml" \
   -d '<role-properties xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage/role/properties"> \
   <external-names><external-name>7228762e-cb30-428a-ae1a-3a8cf9e2f728</external-name> \
   </external-names> \
   </role-properties>' http://<machine URI>:8002/manage/v2/roles/<MarkLogic Server role name like manage-user>/properties
   

MarkLogic Server is now set up for OAuth-based authentication and authorization with Microsoft Entra.
