Second Life Login API Strawman

This is a work in progress. Also see a similar Strawman by AWG: AWG_flows_login Innitial meeting with AWG to request feedback on protocol: Feedback Chat-log, 19 Feb 2008

Introduction

This page attempts to merge Authentication_Flow with Current_login_protocols and adds additional protocol changes to fit with Agent_Domain#How_login_works. The goal is to expose a protocol allowing login to a separate region domain while making incremental, small changes to the current protocol.

Summary

  1. *Viewer sends credentials to the Login Service #Login_Web_Service
  2. Login Service authenticates and sets up and queries for presence:
    • Queries the agent data from the Agent Store.
    • Finds an agent host, POST's agent presence checking for already online
    • grants seed capability, which lives on an agent host
  3. *Viewer requests capabilities needed for login via received seed capability. #Seed_Capability
  4. *(future) Viewer Polls Agent Host for messages via long-poll #poll_for_messages_Capability
  5. *(future) Viewer can send instant messages before being in world. #instant_message_Capability
  6. *Viewer invokes legacy_login capability #legacylogin_Capability
    • Initialization data returned by login
    • Sets up agent presence
    • Forwards location request to region domain, finding a region to rez the avatar
    • Establishes session with region host, which gives back a (region domain) seed capability to the client
  7. *Viewer invokes region seed capability

Definitions

Seed Capability

The current Login Seed Capability is a Capability associated with the simulator you are logging into. It should not be confused with the Seed-Capability proposed for the new protocols.

Agent Seed Capability

This is a newly introduced capability associated with the agent host as part of the agent domain. This is different from the previously mentioned seed-capability, which associates with the sim host as part of the region domain.

Conventions

On this page the following conventions are used:

"in quotes is a literal string"
[ represents a list of choices | separated by a vertical bar ]
< represents a value which can be substituted by an appropriate string described inside >
'represents a string that must be quoted, but how will be implementation specific' for example in LSL "" denotes a string and " will be used in place of the single quote (').
+ means to concatenate the two parts, though how will be implementation specific, for example + can be used to concatenate strings.

Login Web Service

Client --> public Login Server: "Here is my credential, and optional agent identity desired" Second Life Login Server: https://login.agni.secondlife.com/app/login/

Required Parameters

   { 'credential': { 'type': 'agent',
                     'first_name': <first>,
                     'last_name': <last>,
                     'password': '$1$' + <passwd_md5> } }

OR (future)

   { 'credential': { 'type': 'account',
                     'account_name': <IBM>,
                     'password': '$1$' + <passwd_md5> } }

OR (future)

   { 'credential': { 'type': 'openid',
                     'url': <URL> } }

OR (future)

   { 'credential': { 'type': 'agent',
                     'first_name': <first>,
                     'last_name': <last>}}

which will need to a challenge from the auth system.

Optional Parameters

Optionally, specify which account you want this credential to log you into

   { 'credential': { 'type': 'agent',
                     'first_name': <first>,
                     'last_name': <last>,
                     'password': '$1$' + <passwd_md5> },
     'first_name': <first>,
     'last_name': <last> }

Response

Response Codes : Response 200 : Successful authentication.

   { 'agent seed-capability' : <url> -- agent domain seed capability] }

4xx : If this credential has more than one account linked to it, and no specific account was specified in the optional parameters, the response will list a set of accounts to choose from.

   { 'reason': 'select account',  -- reason why authentication failed
     'accounts' : [ { 'first_name' : <first>, 'last_name' : <last> },
                    { 'first_name' : <first>, 'last_name' : <last> },
                    ... ] }

4xx : Unsuccessful authentication due to need for more information.

   { 'reason': 'tos'|'critical'|'more info',  -- reason why authentication failed
     'redirect' : <url>  } -- URL to visit to get more information on how to proceed

Other reasons:

   * no agent
   * bad identity and authentication information
   * agent not enabled (banned)

5xx : Server unavailable.

   { 'reason': 'generic' }

Seed Capability

Client -> Agent Host (via seed cap): "I want cap X"

  • This service supports named capabilities for the agent domain requested by the client

Required Parameters

Map of named capabilities to Options

   { <capability name> : { 'enabled' : 'true' | 'false' },
     <capability name> : { 'enabled' : 'true' | 'false' },
     ..., etc. ]
   <- Ok, here's the cap to do X
   -or-
   <- Bzzzp, you don't get to do X

Response

Map of capability name to capability URL:

   { <capability name> : <url>, <capability name> : <url>, ... etc. }

Example: Basic Login Capabilities

POST data:

   { 'establish_presence' : { 'enabled' : 'true' },
     'inventory' : { 'enabled' : 'true' },
     'non_existent_cap' : { 'enabled' : 'false' },
     'be_in_world' : { 'enabled' : 'true' } }

Response value:

   { 'establish_presence' : <cap GO>, 'inventory' : <cap I>, 'be_in_world' : <cap CTR> }

legacy_login Capability

  • Viewer -> Agent Host (via cap LL): "I'd like to log in using the legacy login protocols"

Required Parameters

   { 'start': ["first" | "last" | <uri> ],
     "channel": <channel>,
     "version": <client version>,
     "platform": ["Lin" | "Mac" | "Win"]
     "mac": <MAC Address>,
     "options": <array of strings>,
     "id0": <uuid>,
     "agree_to_tos": ["true" | "false" | ""],
     "read_critical": ["true" | "false" | ""],
     "viewer_digest": <uuid>,
     "options" : <array of strings> }

start check for trust against region domain, attempt to log in to this region. If it is full or not available, or the agent is not allowed, invoke region domain service to select another. "First" means home location. If home is filled then the grid will try last. If last is filled and home is set, the grid will try home. If neither works, region domain will find a region to put you on.

channel the name of the client. Used to differentiate official viewers from third party clients.

options See Optional Parameters

id0 hardware hash (based on the serial number of the first hard drive in Windows) used for uniquely identifying computers.

viewer_digest MD5 hash of the viewer executable, only relevant when the channel is set to an official Second Life viewer.

Optional Parameters

The "options" key points to an array of optional options. Zero or more of the following character strings may appear in any order in the array:

   { 'options' : <"inventory-root" | "inventory-skeleton" | "inventory-lib-root" |
     "inventory-lib-owner" | "inventory-skel-lib" | "gestures" | "event_categories" |
