Identity Provider Session Extending API¶

https://<IS_HOST>:<IS_PORT>/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/identity/extend-session

This API can be used to extend the user's session at the identity provider. To identify the session that needs to be extended, this API requires one of the following.

1. Session identifier as a request parameter: This can be obtained from the ID token.
2. Session identifier cookie: This is the commonAuthId cookie.

Extracting the session identifier value¶

If the above config has been enabled, the session identifier can be extracted from the ID token. To do this, decode the ID token and read the value of the claim isk, which is the identifier of the session.

Supported requests¶

Sending session identifier as a request parameter

curl --location --request GET 'https://<IS_HOST>:<IS_PORT>/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/identity/extend-session?idpSessionKey=<SESSION_IDENTIFIER>'

Replace the <SESSION_IDENTIFIER> with the isk value obtained from the ID token. This method is ideal in cases where the use of third party cookies has been blocked.

Sending session identifier as a cookie

curl --location --request GET 'https://<IS_HOST>:<IS_PORT>/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/identity/extend-session' \
--header 'Cookie: commonAuthId=<COMMON_AUTH_ID_COOKIE>'

In this case, replace the <COMMON_AUTH_ID_COOKIE> with the commonAuthId cookie value.

API responses¶

If session extension has been successful, a 200 OK response will be returned.

If session extension has failed, the response could be one of the following.
