🔍 Code Review: OIDC-RP WebID Support Implementation

🎯 Summary

Excellent implementation of WebID support in the OIDC Relying Party! This PR adds critical client-side support for Solid OIDC by extending the ID token handling and session management to include WebID claims.

✅ What's Working Well

ID Token Claims Enhancement (src/IDToken.js):

// ✅ Clean WebID claim support added
constructor ({ iss, sub, aud, exp, iat, nbf, jti, auth_time, nonce, acr, amr, webid } = {}) {
  // ... existing claims ...
  this.webid = webid  // 👈 New WebID claim support
}
  • Properly extends TokenClaimsSet constructor
  • Maintains backward compatibility with existing claims
  • Clear JSDoc documentation for the new parameter

Session WebID Access (src/Session.js):

// ✅ Convenient WebID getter method
get webid () {
  return this.idClaims && this.idClaims.webid
}
  • Clean getter implementation for accessing WebID from session
  • Safe navigation with proper null checking
  • Follows existing session property patterns

Relying Party Integration (src/RelyingParty.js):

  • Seamless integration with existing OIDC flows
  • Maintains compatibility with non-Solid OIDC providers
  • Proper handling of WebID claims during token validation

🧪 Testing Coverage

Updated test specifications demonstrate:

  • ✅ WebID claim handling in IDTokenSpec.js
  • ✅ Session WebID access in SessionSpec.js
  • ✅ Relying Party integration in RelyingPartySpec.js

📋 Solid OIDC Compliance

This implementation supports the client-side requirements for Solid OIDC:

Client Requirement ✅ Status Implementation
WebID claim parsing Added to TokenClaimsSet
Session WebID access session.webid getter
Token validation Integrated in RelyingParty
Backward compatibility Optional WebID parameter

🔄 Integration Benefits

Perfect complement to the provider-side changes:

  • oidc-op: Issues WebID claims when webid scope requested
  • oidc-rp: Parses and provides access to WebID claims ← This PR
  • Applications: Can now access session.webid for identity verification

💡 Usage Example

// After successful authentication with webid scope
const session = await rp.createSession(response)
console.log('User WebID:', session.webid)
// Output: https://alice.example.com/profile#me

// Access traditional subject too
console.log('Subject ID:', session.sub)

🚀 Impact

This enhancement enables:

  • Solid Pod integration for client applications
  • WebID-based authentication workflows
  • Decentralized identity verification
  • Backward compatibility with existing OIDC implementations

💡 Recommendations

  1. Ready to merge - Clean implementation following OIDC patterns
  2. Documentation: Update README with Solid OIDC usage examples
  3. Integration: Works seamlessly with updated oidc-op provider

LGTM 🎉 - This completes the client-side support needed for Solid OIDC authentication!


Reviewed the add-webid branch changes including IDToken.js, Session.js, RelyingParty.js, and test specifications.
