Create Okta FIDO Pre-reg activate request

In this step we will configure an action to finalize a FIDO Pre-reg activation request to Okta. This is the second part of the FIDO Pre-reg ceremony which will provide the JWE encrypted PIN and credential response for the final activation of the YubiKey

Before you proceed ensure that you have configured the connection alias and credential used for calling the Okta API with your API token.

Action properties

On the ServiceNow home screen, search for flow designer.

Click Flow Designer, a new window should open.

Configuration menu

Once the Flow Designer page opens, click the Create new button, then select Action.

Configuration menu

A menu will appear to configure the action's properties. Use the following values to initialize your action.

  • Action name: Okta Activate Credential
  • Application: YubiEnterprise Delivery App
  • Description: Activate a FIDO2 credential in Okta

Configuration menu

Click Submit.

Action inputs

Next we are going to configure the inputs that go into the action. These inputs are the parameters that are going to be passed into our API call by our flow.

For each row in the table below, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the +Create Input button at the top.
  2. Fill in the input using the data provided below to the corresponding field (note that name will be automatically input).
LabelTypeMandatory
PIN ResponseStringon
Credential ResponseStringon
Authenticator Enrollment IDStringon
Fulfillment ProviderStringon
User IDStringon
Serial NumberStringon
VersionStringon
Yubico Signing KeysStringon

Your actions input menu should look like the example below.

Inputs menu

Click Save once your inputs are complete.

Input script

Next, we will pass our inputs through a script to format the request body for the Okta API

On the left side, in the Action Outline, click the blue + button. Input plus

Search for scripts and select the Script option

Inputs menu

Script inputs

We'll start by creating inputs for the script. This will utilize the same inputs that we defined in the previous step (yes, sadly this does need to be repeated).

For each of the items in the table below, do the following steps:

  1. Click the +Create Variable button
  2. Set the name using the name provided in the table below (warning: these values are case sensitive)
  3. Drag the corresponding data pill from the right side Data menu
Name (case sensitive)Data pill
pin_responsePIN Response
credential_responseCredential Response
fulfillment_providerProvider
user_idUser ID
serial_numberSerial Number
versionVersion
authenticator_enrollment_idAuthenticator Enrollment ID
signing_keysYubico Signing Keys

Your script inputs menu should look like the example below.

Inputs menu

Adding the script

Next we are going to add a script to Script field. Copy the script provided below into the Script field.

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
outputs.request_body = JSON.stringify({
fulfillmentProvider: inputs.fulfillment_provider,
userId: inputs.user_id,
serial: inputs.serial_number,
version: inputs.version,
yubicoSigningJwks: inputs.signing_keys,
pinResponseJwe: inputs.pin_response,
credResponses: [
{
credResponseJwe: inputs.credential_response,
authenticatorEnrollmentId: inputs.authenticator_enrollment_id,
},
],
});
})(inputs, outputs);

Script outputs

Lastly, we will add the output variable for the script.

In the Output Variables section, click the +Create Variable button.

Set the single output using the variables below:

  • Label: request_body
  • Name: Will be auto populated based on the label
  • Type: String (default)
  • Mandatory: on

Your script outputs menu should look like the example below.

Scripts outputs

Click Save once your script is ready.

API REST call

Next we will configure the action step for making the REST HTTP call to the Okta Activate API.

On the left side, in the Action Outline, click the bottom blue + button.

Add second action

Search for rest and select the REST option

note

If the REST option does not appear then you have not activated the IntegrationHub plugin. Follow the instructions in the prerequisites section.

Inputs menu

Connection details

First we will add our API credentials to the REST call. We will utilize the connection alias that was created earlier in this guide.

Ensure that the Connection field is set to Use Connection Alias.

Change the Connection Alias to the Okta option created earlier in the guide. The Base URL should be set automatically based on the connection alias.

Your connection details should look like the example below.

Connection details final

Request details

Next we will configure the details of the API method call. We will be utilizing the POST /webauthn-registration/api/v1/activate API method

Configure the Request Details section with the following values:

  • Build Request: Manually
  • Resource Path: /webauthn-registration/api/v1/activate
  • HTTP Method: POST

The Headers should include two header properties using the values below

NameValue
Acceptapplication/json
Content-Typeapplication/json

Your request details should look like the example below.

Request details final

Request content

Next we will add data to the body of our POST request. We will utilize the output of the previous script step. In the Request Content section, set the following values

  • Request Type: Text
  • Request Body: Drag the request_body data pill from the Script step section on the right side of the menu.

Your request content should look like the example below.

Request details final

Click save once your API call is complete

Action outputs

Lastly we will define the outputs of the action. These outputs will be usable by the final flow that will orchestrate the ordering experience. We want to ensure that the action outputs are able to express details about the new credential activation.

We will start by clicking the Outputs tab in the Action Outline pane.

Action outline outputs

Next we are going to configure the outputs.

For each row in the table below, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the +Create Output button at the top.
  2. Fill in the input using the data provided below to the corresponding field (Note: Unlike the previous examples, the Name field is not auto-populated).
LabelNameTypeMandatory
Status Codestatus_codeStringon

Your actions outputs menu should look like the example below.

Inputs menu

Once complete, press the Exit Edit Mode button on the top of the menu.

A new menu should appear showing the outputs you just defined with empty Value fields. For each output, you will add a data pill from the REST step and the second Script step sections on the right side of the menu

Use the table below to correlate the correct data pill to a label.

LabelSection > Data pill
Status CodeREST step > Status Code

Your actions outputs menu should look like the example below.

Inputs menu

Click Save once your outputs are complete

Publish the action

If everything looks good, click the Publish button at the top of the action menu to make the action available for all flows.
