Configuring the FIDO2 server:

1. Read Configuration parameters:

Use the following command to obtain configuration parameters:

/opt/jans/jans-cli/config-cli.py --operation-id get-properties-fido2

Response:

{
   "issuer":"https://.jans.io",
   "baseEndpoint":"https://my-jans-server.jans.io/jans-fido2/restv1",
   "cleanServiceInterval":60,
   "cleanServiceBatchChunkSize":10000,
   "useLocalCache":true,
   "disableJdkLogger":true,
   "loggingLevel":"INFO",
   "loggingLayout":"text",
   "externalLoggerConfiguration":"",
   "metricReporterInterval":300,
   "metricReporterKeepDataDays":15,
   "metricReporterEnabled":true,
   "personCustomObjectClassList":[
      "jansCustomPerson",
      "jansPerson"
   ],
   "fido2Configuration":{
      "authenticatorCertsFolder":"/etc/jans/conf/fido2/authenticator_cert",
      "mdsCertsFolder":"/etc/jans/conf/fido2/mds/cert",
      "mdsTocsFolder":"/etc/jans/conf/fido2/mds/toc",
      "serverMetadataFolder":"/etc/jans/conf/fido2/server_metadata",
      "requestedCredentialTypes":[
         "RS256",
         "ES256"
      ],
      "requestedParties":[
         {
            "name":"https://my-jans-server.jans.io",
            "domains":[
               "my-jans-server.jans.io"
            ]
         }
      ],
      "userAutoEnrollment":false,
      "unfinishedRequestExpiration":180,
      "authenticationHistoryExpiration":1296000
   }
}

2. Update configuration parameters:

Steps: A. Create a JSON file say /tmp/config_values.json by editing the JSON from Point 1 B. Use the following command /opt/jans/jans-cli/config-cli.py --operation-id post-config-scripts --data /tmp/config_values.json

3. Change log level of FIDO2 server

Steps: A. Create a JSON file say /tmp/config_values.json by editing the JSON from Point 1. Edit loggingLevel to TRACE or DEBUG or INFO B. Use the following command /opt/jans/jans-cli/config-cli.py --operation-id put-properties-fido --data /tmp/config_values.json

4. Locating FIDO2 configuration in Persistence Layer

While it is not recommended that an administrator directly edits a configuration at the persistence layer, it may be useful information for a developer.

A. MySQL

erDiagram
    jansAppConf {
        string doc_id PK ""
        string ou  "jans-fido2"
        string jansConfDyn "json configuration for the app"
    }
