Adobe I/O IMS Library

The Adobe I/O IMS Library helps interacting with the IMS API as well as creating and invalidating tokens. To support multiple use cases and environments, there is not a single configuration managed by this library but multiple configurations called IMS configuration contexts. Each configuration context holds configuration data needed to create tokens. See the Configuration section below.

Installation

To install the Adobe I/O IMS Library, simple use npm:

$ npm install @adobe/aio-lib-ims --save

Quickstart

Before using the AIO IMS Library you need to create an integration on Adobe I/O Console from where you can the grab the integration details to setup a first configuration context. Let's use an OAuth2 integration as an example:

const { context, getToken, getTokenData } = require('@adobe/aio-lib-ims');

const config = {
  redirect_uri: "https://callback.example.org",
  client_id: "123456cafebabe",
  client_secret: "12345678-cafe-babe-cafe-9999",
  scope: "openid"
};
await context.set('example', config, true);
await context.setCurrent('example');

const token = await getToken();
const tokenDecoded = getTokenData(token);

See the API Documentation for full details.

Configuration

The AIO IMS Library transparently maintains the login configuration and keep access and refresh tokens for reuse before they expire.

All configuration is stored in a single ims root property.

The library supports maintaining multiple configurations for different use cases. Each such configuration is stored in its own named object with the ims configuration. Such a configuration is called an IMS (configuration) context and has a label which allows to refer to the configuration by name.

Inside the ims configuration object, the name of the current context is stored in the config.current property.

Here is an example ims configuration

{
  ims: {
    contexts: {
      sample_jwt: {
        client_id: "<jwt-clientid>",
        client_secret: "XXX",
        technical_account_id: "<guid>@techacct.adobe.com",
        technical_account_email: "<another_guid>@techacct.adobe.com",
        meta_scopes: [
          "ent_dataservices_sdk"
        ],
        ims_org_id: "<org-guid>@AdobeOrg",
        private_key: "XXX"
      },
      sample_oauth2: {
        redirect_uri: "https://callback.example.com",
        client_id: "<oauth2-clientid>",
        client_secret: "XXX",
        scope: "openid AdobeID"
      },
    },
    config: {
      current: "sample_oauth2"
    }
  }
}

Running on a Desktop

When running on your local machine the AIO IMS is leveraging the Configuration module for use by aio-cli plugins to load and update the configuration stored in .aio and .env files. The library supports both local and global aio configurations.

Here is an example that relies on the AIO IMS to generate a token from an existing configuration:

const { context, getToken } = require('@adobe/aio-lib-ims');

await context.setCurrent('my-config');
const token = await getToken();

Running in an Adobe I/O Runtime action

Note that Project Firefly applications should not own the responsibility to generate their own IMS access tokens. We strongly discourage this approach in favor of more secure implementation patterns that are documented in our Project Firefly Security Guide.

The AIO IMS Library can also be used in an Adobe I/O Runtime action. In this case the IMS configuration must be set beforehand. The library is relying on the Adobe I/O Cloud State Library to persist the access tokens across action invocations and reduce the number of requests to IMS.

Here is an Adobe I/O Runtime action example that leverages the AIO IMS:

const { context, getToken } = require('@adobe/aio-lib-ims');

function main ({ imsContextConfig, ...params }) {
  // the IMS context configuration is passed as an action parameter
  // imsContextConfig = { client_id, client_secret, technical_account_id, technical_account_email, meta_scopes, ims_org_id, private_key }
  await context.set('my_ctx', imsContextConfig)

  const token = await getToken('my_ctx')
}

Note that setting local=true in context.set('my_ctx', imsContextConfig, true) will not have any effect here.

Also note that internally tokens are cached for a single I/O Runtime action only, this means that cached tokens can't be retrieved across actions and running getToken in another action with the same context name will regenerate a new token. Instead, we recommend using a single I/O Runtime non-web action annotated with that is responsible for generating the token and passing it to other web actions, which then can use the token to integrate with one or several Adobe APIs. In this way, a single action generates the token, effectively (re-)using the cache.

IMS Environment

The use of IMS environments is reserved to Adobe use. For information it is indicated by the env configuration context property and takes one of the values prod and stage. The default value is prod. In general, you do not need to deal with this property.

JWT Configuration

JWT (service to service integration) configuration requires the following properties:

Property Description
client_id The IMS (Oauth2) Client ID. This is the API Key in the integration overview of the Adobe I/O Console.
client_secret The IMS (OAUth2) Client Secret
technical_account_id The Technical Account ID from the integration overview screen in the I/O Console
technical_account_email The Technical Account Email from the integration overview screen in the I/O Console
meta_scopes An array of meta scope names. These are the labels of one ore more special properties in the sample JWT payload. They can be found in the JWT tab of the I/O Console integration in the JWT payload properties of the form "https://<ims-host>/s/ent_dataservices_sdk": true,. There may be one or more of depending on the services to which the integration is subscribed. The values to list in the meta_scopes property are the last segment of the URL. In the example case, this would be ent_dataservices_sdk.
ims_org_id The Organization ID from the integration overview screen in the I/O Console.
private_key The private key matching any one of the Public Keys of the integration. This can be the private key all in one line as a string, or an array of strings (each element is a line from the key file)
passphrase (Optional). The passphrase of the private key.

OAuth2 Configuration

OAuth2 configuration requires the following properties:

Property Description
client_id The IMS (Oauth2) Client ID. This is the API Key in the integration overview of the Adobe I/O Console.
client_secret The IMS (OAUth2) Client Secret
redirect_uri The Default redirect URI from the integration overview screen in the I/O Console. Alternatively, any URI matching one of the Redirect URI patterns may be used.
scope Scopes to assign to the tokens. This is a string of space separated scope names which depends on the services this integration is subscribed to. Adobe I/O Console does not currently expose the list of scopes defined for OAuth2 integrations, a good list of scopes by service can be found in OAuth 2.0 Scopes. At the very least you may want to enter openid.
