Nokia Network As Code Authentication

  openapi/nokia-network-as-code-camara-openapi.yml,
  openapi/nokia-network-as-code-platform-openapi.json. Enriched by hand from the
  operation-level security requirements and the authorization-server operations
  that the mechanical deriver does not read. Nokia's own auth documentation is a
  client-rendered SPA and served no crawlable prose, so nothing here is taken
  from docs text.
summary:
  types: [apiKey, openIdConnect, oauth2]
  api_key_in: [header]
  oauth2_flows: [clientCredentials, authorizationCode]
  layers: 2
model: >-
  Two layers, and both are required for a subscriber-scoped call. Layer one is
  the channel: an x-rapidapi-key header validated by the RapidAPI Enterprise Hub
  gateway that fronts the whole platform. It is the only security requirement
  the gateway export declares, which makes the export look far simpler than the
  API really is. Layer two is the capability: a CAMARA OAuth2 / OpenID Connect
  access token, either two-legged (client credentials, the developer acting on
  its own behalf) or three-legged (the subscriber has consented), carrying
  purpose-based scopes. The CAMARA document is the only place layer two is
  specified.
schemes:
  - name: ApiKeyAuth
    type: apiKey
    in: header
    parameter: x-rapidapi-key
    description: RapidAPI Enterprise Hub key. Channel authentication, not subscriber authentication.
    layer: gateway
    sources: [openapi/nokia-network-as-code-platform-openapi.json]
    applied: document-level security requirement on all 78 operations
  - name: openId
    type: openIdConnect
    openIdConnectUrl: https://example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
    description: OpenID Connect authentication
    layer: capability
    sources: [openapi/nokia-network-as-code-camara-openapi.yml]
    applied: operation-level, carrying all 65 scopes
    defect: openIdConnectUrl is the CAMARA template placeholder, not a Nokia issuer URL.
  - name: oAuth2ClientCredentials
    type: oauth2
    flow: clientCredentials
    layer: capability
    sources: [openapi/nokia-network-as-code-camara-openapi.yml]
    applied: document-level security requirement
    defect: Referenced by the global security requirement but never defined in components.securitySchemes.
token_model:
  two_legged:
    grant: client_credentials
    subject: the developer/application
    identifier_rule: The subscriber MUST be identified in the request body (phoneNumber, networkAccessIdentifier, ipv4Address or ipv6Address).
    failure_if_omitted: 422 MISSING_IDENTIFIER
  three_legged:
    grant: authorization_code (subscriber consent)
    subject: the subscriber
    identifier_rule: The subscriber is carried inside the token and MUST NOT be repeated in the request body.
    failure_if_supplied: 422 UNNECESSARY_IDENTIFIER
  purpose_binding: >-
    CAMARA purpose-based consent. The string "purpose" appears throughout both
    documents, and subscription scopes name the exact CloudEvent type they
    authorise, so consent is event-granular rather than API-granular.
  ciba:
    supported: false
    note: >-
      No CIBA / backchannel-authentication / bc-authorize surface in either
      specification, so network-initiated authorization is implied by the
      three-legged model but not documented as a flow.
endpoints:
  - {purpose: Issue or return client credentials, method: GET, path: /oauth2/v1/auth/clientcredentials, operationId: get_client_credentials, returns: 'client_id, client_secret'}
  - {purpose: Per-application JWKS, method: GET, path: '/oauth2/v1/apps/{nac_app_ref}/.well-known/jwks.json', operationId: get_jwks_apps__nac_app_ref___well_known_jwks_json_get}
  - {purpose: OIDC discovery, method: GET, path: /.well-known/openid-configuration, operationId: get_well_known_oidc_openid_configuration_get, anonymous: false}
  - {purpose: 'OAuth authorization server metadata (RFC 8414)', method: GET, path: /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, operationId: get_well_known_oauth_oauth_authorization_server_get, anonymous: false}
discovery_note: >-
  All four endpoints above sit behind the gateway API key. An unauthenticated
  GET against the gateway host returns 404 "API doesn't exists" or 429. The
  practical consequence for an autonomous client is real: the documents that
  would let it discover the issuer, the supported flows and the JWKS are the
  documents it cannot read until it already has a credential.
webhook_authentication:
  direction: outbound to a consumer-hosted sink
  mechanism: sinkCredential object supplied by the consumer at subscription time
  credential_types: [ACCESSTOKEN]
  note: >-
    Nokia authenticates to the consumer's sink with the credential the consumer
    provided. There is no published request-signing scheme for verifying that a
    notification came from Nokia.
