KS.Fiks.IO.Client 2.0.5

fiks-io-client-dotnet

.net library compatible with .Net Standard 2.0 for sending and receiving messages using Fiks IO.

Fiks IO is a messaging system for the public sector in Norway. About Fiks IO (Norwegian)

It is also the underlying messaging system for the Fiks Protokoll messages. Read more about Fiks Protokoll here

Simplifying Fiks-IO

This client and its corresponding clients for other languages released by KS simplify the authentication, encryption of messages, and communication through Fiks-IO. For example Fiks-IO requires that certain headers are set in the messages. Using this client means that these details are hidden and simpflifies sending and receiving messages through Fiks-IO. You can read more about the Fiks-IO headers here.

Installation

Install KS.Fiks.IO.Client nuget package in your .net project.

Prerequisites

To be able to use Fiks IO you have to have an active Fiks IO account with an associated integration. This can be setup for you organization at FIKS-Konfigurasjon (prod) or FIKS-Konfigurasjon (test).

Examples

Sending message

var client = await FiksIOClient.CreateAsync(configuration); // See setup of configuration below
meldingRequest = new MeldingRequest(
                            avsenderKontoId: senderId, // Sender id as Guid
                            mottakerKontoId: receiverId, // Receiver id as Guid
                            meldingType: messageType); // Message type as string
        
// Sending a file
await client.Send(meldingRequest, "c:\path\someFile.pdf");

// Sending a string
await client.Send(meldingRequest, "String to send", "string.txt");

// Sending a stream
await client.Send(meldingRequest, someStream, "stream.jpg");

// Sending message without payload
await client.Send(meldingRequest);

Receiving message

Write zip to file

var client = await FiksIOClient.CreateAsync(configuration); // See setup of configuration below

var onReceived = new EventHandler<MottattMeldingArgs>((sender, fileArgs) =>
                {
                    if(fileArgs.Melding.HasPayload) { // Verify that message has payload
                        fileArgs.Melding.WriteDecryptedZip("c:\path\receivedFile.zip");
                    }
                    fileArgs.SvarSender.Ack() // Ack message if write succeeded to remove it from the queue
                    
                });

client.NewSubscription(onReceived);

Process archive as stream

var client = await FiksIOClient.CreateAsync(configuration); // See setup of configuration below

var onReceived = new EventHandler<MottattMeldingArgs>((sender, fileArgs) =>
                {
                    if(fileArgs.Melding.HasPayload) { // Verify that message has payload
                        using (var archiveAsStream = fileArgs.Melding.DecryptedStream) 
                        {
                            // Process the stream
                        }
                    }
                    fileArgs.SvarSender.Ack() // Ack message if handling of stream succeeded to remove it from the queue
                });

client.NewSubscription(onReceived);

Reply to message

You can reply directly to a message using the ReplySender.

var client = await FiksIOClient.CreateAsync(configuration); // See setup of configuration below

var onReceived = new EventHandler<MottattMeldingArgs>((sender, fileArgs) =>
                {
                  // Process the message
                  
                  await fileArgs.SvarSender.Svar(/* message type */, /* message as string, path or stream */);
                  fileArgs.SvarSender.Ack() // Ack message to remove it from the queue
                });

client.NewSubscription(onReceived);

Lookup

Using lookup, you can find which Fiks IO account to send a message to, given organization number, message type and access level needed to read the message.

var client = await FiksIOClient.CreateAsync(configuration); // See setup of configuration below

var request = new LookupRequest(
    identifikator: "ORG_NO.987654321",
    meldingsprotokoll: "no.ks.test.fagsystem.v1",
    sikkerhetsniva: 4);

var receiverKontoId = await client.Lookup(request); 

IsOpen

This method can be used to check if the amqp connection is open.

Configuration

Two convenience functions are provided for generating default configurations for prod and test, CreateMaskinportenProdConfig and CreateMaskinportenTestConfig. Only the required configuration parameters must be provided, the rest will be set to default values for the given environment.

keepAlive: Optional setting. Set the keepAlive to true if you want the client to check every 5 minutes if the amqp connection is open and automatically reconnect

privatNokkel: The privatNokkel property expects a private key in PKCS#8 format. Private key which has a PKCS#1 will cause an exception. A PKCS#1 key can be converted using this command:

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in <pkcs#1 key file> -out <pkcs#8 key file>

Content in file is expected value in privateNokkel, i.e.

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
... ...
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

// Prod config
var config = FiksIOConfiguration.CreateProdConfiguration(
    integrasjonId: integrationId,
    integrasjonPassord: integrationPassord,
    kontoId: kontoId,
    privatNokkel: privatNokkel,
    issuer: issuer, //klientid for maskinporten
    certificate: certificat,
    keepAlive: false, // Optional: use this if you want to use the keepAlive functionality. Default = false
    applicationName: null // Optional: use this if you want your client's activity to have a unique name in logs.
);

// Test config
var config = FiksIOConfiguration.CreateTestConfiguration(
    integrasjonId: integrationId,
    integrasjonPassord: integrationPassord,
    kontoId: kontoId,
    privatNokkel: privatNokkel, 
    issuer: issuer, //klientid for maskinporten
    certificate: certificat,
    keepAlive: false, // Optional: use this if you want to use the keepAlive functionality. Default = false
    applicationName: null // Optional: use this if you want your client's activity to have a unique name in logs.
);

If necessary, all parameters of configuration can be set in detail.

// Fiks IO account configuration
var kontoConfig = new KontoConfiguration(
                    kontoId: /* Fiks IO accountId as Guid */,
                    privatNokkel: /* Private key, paired with the public key supplied to Fiks IO account */); 

// Id and password for integration associated to the Fiks IO account.
var integrasjonConfig = new IntegrasjonConfiguration(
                        integrasjonId: /* Integration id as Guid */,
                        integrasjonPassord: /* Integration password */);

// ID-porten machine to machine configuration
var maskinportenConfig = new MaskinportenClientConfiguration(
    audience: @"https://oidc-ver2.difi.no/idporten-oidc-provider/", // ID-porten audience path
    tokenEndpoint: @"https://oidc-ver2.difi.no/idporten-oidc-provider/token", // ID-porten token path
    issuer: @"oidc_ks_test",  //klientid for maskinporten
    numberOfSecondsLeftBeforeExpire: 10, // The token will be refreshed 10 seconds before it expires
    certificate: /* virksomhetssertifikat as a X509Certificate2  */);

// Optional: Use custom api host (i.e. for connecting to test api)
var apiConfig = new ApiConfiguration(
                scheme: "https",
                host: "api.fiks.test.ks.no",
                port: 443);

// Optional: Use custom amqp host (i.e. for connection to test queue). 
// Optional: Set keepAlive: true if you want the FiksIOClient to check if amqp connection is open every 5 minutes and automatically reconnect. 
// another option to using keepAlive is to use the isOpen() method on the FiksIOClient and implement a keepalive strategy yourself 
var amqp = new AmqpConfiguration(
                host: "io.fiks.test.ks.no",
                port: 5671,
                keepAlive: false); 

// Combine all configurations
var configuration = new FiksIOConfiguration(kontoConfig, integrationConfig, maskinportenConfig, apiConfig, amqpConfig);

Public Key provider

By default when sending a message, the public key of the receiver will be fetched using the Catalog Api. If you instead need to provide the public key by some other means, you can implement the IPublicKeyProvider interface, and inject it when creating your client like this:

var client = new FiksIOClient(configuration, myPublicKeyProvider);
