This guide explains how to connect your Issuer to the Trust Infrastructure, including detailed instructions on configuring the setup with specific values provided for the test environmentinteroperability lab.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, ensure the following are in place:
- An understanding of your federationTrust Infrastructure's structure and the required credential types.
- Access Network access from the Issuer to the Trust Anchor (TA) with its entity ID and keys.
- HTTPS is properly set up for your issuerIssuer and is externally accessible.

Key Configuration Points
...
Entity Configuration Information
The configuration endpoint publishes the Entity Configuration document, detailing which provides the issuer’s Issuer’s configuration information details for federation participants in the Trust Infrastructure.
Define the Endpoint:
- The endpoint is defined under the following path: /
.well-known/openid-federation
- The endpoint is defined under the following path: /
Implementation:
- Ensure this endpoint serves the issuer’s Entity Configuration as specified in the OIDC Federation 1.0 document.
Example Entity Configuration: Here is an example of Entity Configuration that can be exposed at the endpoint:

The Trust Anchor (TA) is the root of the federation’s Trust Infrastructure’s trust chain.
Trust Anchor URL:
- For your setup, the Trust Anchor URL is:
https://openidfed-test-1.sunet.se:7001
- For your setup, the Trust Anchor URL is:
Trust Anchor Keys: Add the Trust Anchor’s and public keys to your configuration:

Purpose: Trust Anchors validate Trust Marks’ signatures and establish trust within the federationTrust Infrastructure.
...
Registering the Issuer as a Subordinate Entity
...
- Publish Metadata
- Make the Issuer's metadata available at the following URL:
https://<issuer-entity-id>/.well-known/openid-federation
- Make the Issuer's metadata available at the following URL:
- Share the Entity ID
- Once the metadata is published, provide the `entity_id` to the Superior Entity.
- The Superior Entity will retrieve the metadata from the `/.well-known/openid-federation` endpoint and complete the registration process.
- Obtain Approval
- The Superior Entity must approve the Issuer's inclusion in the federationTrust Infrastructure.
- If additional details are required, ensure they are provided as per the federation's Trust Infrastructure’s guidelines.
...
Authority Hints
The authority_hints
parameter specifies the URL of the Intermediate Entities or Trust Anchors that are Immediate Superiors of the Entity. This This helps other federation Trust Infrastructure participants understand upstream trust relationships.
...
Trust Marks are JWTs issued by a Trust Mark Issuer to validate compliance with federation Trust Infrastructure policies.
Types of Trust Marks
...
To update the Trust Marks, you need to modify the trust_marks section of the satosa/plugins/oidc_frontend.yaml file. Follow the steps below to replace the existing Trust Marks with the ones received from the federation Trust Infrastructure operator.
Locate the Trust Marks Section
In the current configuration, the trust_marks are defined under:
Code Block language yml trust_marks: - <existing-trust-mark-1> - <existing-trust-mark-2>
You need to replace these values with the new Trust Marks provided by the federation Trust Infrastructure operator.
Example Update
If the federation operator the operator provided the following new Trust Marks:
Code Block language yml eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjM2NWQ2MjY3LTI5MzQtNGJhNy05YjEyLWU4ZmFkNTYwYjZjMyJ9... eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjkwNTFjZTgzLTY1NzEtNDliYi04ODdjLTc3OWQzMDNmOTRmYyJ9...
Modify the trust_marks section as follows:
Code Block language yml trust_marks: - eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjM2NWQ2MjY3LTI5MzQtNGJhNy05YjEyLWU4ZmFkNTYwYjZjMyJ9... - eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjkwNTFjZTgzLTY1NzEtNDliYi04ODdjLTc3OWQzMDNmOTRmYyJ9..
Restart the Issuer to Apply Changes
Once you've updated the configuration file, restart the Issuer container to apply the changes:
Code Block language bash ./stop.sh && \ ./start.sh
Verify the Changes
After restarting the Issuer, verify that the new Trust Marks are correctly applied:Code Block language bash curl -k -s https://<issuer-host>:8000/.well-known/openid-federation | cut -d '.' -f2 | tr '_-' '/+' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null | jq .
Look for the updated trust_marks in the JSON response.
...
Configure the Issuer:
- Update the issuer’s Issuer’s configuration to include
authority_hints
,trust_marks
,federation info endpoint
/.well-known/openid-federation
, andtrust_anchors
.
- Update the issuer’s Issuer’s configuration to include
Register with the FederationTrust Infrastructure:
- Share your
.well-known/openid-federation
endpoint with the Trust Anchor or superior entity for registration.
- Share your
Validate Configuration:
- Test the issuer using federation testing tools or with the federation’s a sandbox environment.
Monitor the Connection:
- Regularly verify the federation status and ensure Trust Marks are up-to-date.
