Proposed changes in this pull request

Why

Today a rule condition can only compare a field with a fixed value typed into the rule, for example application equals "My App". Upcoming conditional steps in registration and recovery flows need conditions that can only be decided at runtime, such as:

  • "the country the user entered is not the same as the country already stored for them": a field compared with another field
  • "the user's country is one of LK, IN": a field compared with a list
  • "the value of this particular claim": one field (user.claims) that holds many values, picked by a qualifier (the claim URI)

This PR adds these to the rule component (rule-mgt) without changing how existing rules are stored or evaluated.

What changes

1. Rule model (rule.management)

Change Description
Expression.fieldQualifier (new, optional) Picks one value of a field that holds many, e.g. field: user.claims, fieldQualifier: http://wso2.org/claims/country.
Value.Type.LIST + Value.fieldValues The right-hand side as a list, for the new in / notIn operators.
Value.Type.FIELD + Value.fieldReference The right-hand side as another field (FieldReference{name, qualifier}), read when the rule is evaluated.
Value constructors new Value(List<String>) creates a LIST and new Value(FieldReference) creates a FIELD. The existing new Value(Type, String) is unchanged.
Value shape checks A LIST carries only values, a FIELD carries only field, and other types can't carry either.
RuleBuilder Validates a FIELD value: the referenced field must be one the field is allowed to be compared with, it must exist, and its qualifier must be given exactly when that field needs one.
FlowType Adds REGISTRATION, PASSWORD_RECOVERY and INVITED_USER_REGISTRATION.
Rule Is now Serializable, like its subclasses.

How a condition is stored, before and after:

// Existing: unchanged, still reads and writes exactly like this
{"field": "application", "operator": "equals", "value": {"type": "STRING", "value": "My App"}}

// New: compare with a list
{"field": "user.claims", "fieldQualifier": "http://wso2.org/claims/country",
 "operator": "in", "value": {"type": "LIST", "values": ["LK", "IN"]}}

// New: compare with another field
{"field": "user.collectedClaims", "fieldQualifier": "http://wso2.org/claims/country",
 "operator": "notEquals",
 "value": {"type": "FIELD", "field": {"name": "user.claims", "qualifier": "http://wso2.org/claims/country"}}}

2. Rule metadata (rule.metadata)

  • Field.qualifier (new, optional): tells the UI that a field needs a qualifier and how to enter it (e.g. a claim picker).
  • FieldDefinition.valueFieldOptions (new, optional, ValueFieldOptions{names}): lists the other fields a field may be compared with. When it's absent, the field only accepts a typed value, exactly as today.
  • Flow-level overrides in FlowConfig now keep the qualifier and the value field options when they replace a field's display name.

3. Rule evaluation (rule.evaluation)

  • Fields are identified by name and qualifier, so two conditions on different claims of user.claims resolve to two different values. A field without a qualifier is identified by its name alone, as before.
  • FieldExtractor also asks the data providers for the fields that conditions are compared against.
  • New operators in and notIn work for a single value against a list and for a list against a list (they hold when the lists share a value).
  • A comparison where either side has no value does not hold, for every operator including the negated ones. So a missing value never passes a rule by accident.
  • New RuleEvaluationService.evaluate(Rule, FlowContext, tenantDomain) evaluates a rule that its caller holds in its own configuration, rather than one registered in rule management.

4. Configuration

  • RuleManagementConfig gets a "max expressions combined with AND" limit for each of the three new flow types.

  • identity.xml.j2 gets the matching elements. Each is rendered only when set in deployment.toml, for example:

    [rules.registration]
    max_expressions_combined_with_and = 10

    When it isn't set, the default of 5 applies.

Backward compatibility

  • Stored rules: every new member is optional and is left out of the stored JSON when unused, so existing rules read and write byte-for-byte as before. RuleSerializationCompatibilityTest pins this, including reading JSON that has unknown properties.
  • Unknown value types: stored rules are read with unknown enum constants mapped to null. A rule written by a newer node therefore fails closed on an older node instead of becoming unreadable. For the same reason the shape checks don't reject a null type.
  • Java API: existing constructors, getters and the FieldDefinition(field, operators, value) / Field(name, displayName) constructors are unchanged. Everything new is additive.

Tests

  • RuleSerializationCompatibilityTest (new): the stored form of old and new rules, tolerance of unknown properties and enum constants, and the Value shape checks.
  • RuleBuilderTest: validation of FIELD values.
  • RuleEvaluatorTest: in / notIn, field-to-field comparisons and missing values.
  • FieldExtractorTest: qualifiers and referenced fields.
  • RuleEvaluationServiceImplTest: evaluating a rule held by the caller.

When should this PR be merged

No preconditions. Existing rule consumers (actions, approval workflows, device policy) are unaffected.

Follow up actions

  • Flow management: a rule evaluation (decision) step in registration and password recovery flows that uses these rules.
  • Flow management REST API and Console: authoring these conditions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The rule models and metadata now support qualified fields, list values, and field references. Rule management validates these values, and rule evaluation handles field comparisons and membership operators. The changes also add flow types and configuration, serialization compatibility coverage, and updates to action execution test matchers.

Changes

Rule value and evaluation changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rule and metadata value contracts
components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/main/java/.../api/model/*, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.metadata/src/main/java/.../api/model/*, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/main/java/.../RuleManagementDAOImpl.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/test/java/.../RuleSerializationCompatibilityTest.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/test/resources/testng.xml
Rule and metadata models add qualifiers, field references, LIST and FIELD values, and value-field options. Serialization handles null and unknown properties. DAO deserialization maps unknown enum values to null. Compatibility tests cover stored JSON and the new value shapes.
Rule construction and value validation
components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/main/java/.../RuleBuilder.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/test/java/.../RuleBuilderTest.java
RuleBuilder validates qualifiers, list values, and field references against field metadata and options. Tests cover valid comparisons and rejected value or qualifier combinations.
Qualified-field and reference evaluation
components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.evaluation/src/main/java/.../api/model/*, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.evaluation/src/main/java/.../api/service/RuleEvaluationService.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.evaluation/src/main/java/.../internal/service/impl/*, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.evaluation/src/test/java/.../*, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.evaluation/src/test/resources/configs/valid-operators.json
Field extraction and evaluation data use qualified field identities. The service can evaluate a supplied Rule. The evaluator supports field references and in/notIn membership checks. Tests cover qualified extraction, membership, field comparisons, and missing values.
Additional flow types and limits
components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.evaluation/src/main/java/.../FlowType.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/main/java/.../FlowType.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.management/src/main/java/.../RuleManagementConfig.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.metadata/src/main/java/.../FlowType.java, components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.metadata/src/main/java/.../FlowConfig.java, features/identity-core/.../identity.xml.j2
Registration, password recovery, and invited-user registration are added as flow types. Configuration resolves their expression limits, the XML template emits configured sections, and metadata overrides retain qualifiers and value-field options.

Action execution test matcher update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rule-evaluation ID matchers
components/action-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.action.execution/src/test/java/.../ActionExecutorServiceImplTest.java
Three test stubs use Mockito’s anyString() matcher for rule-evaluation IDs. The test outcomes are unchanged.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 30a3b

Field-reference conditions cannot be used with shipped metadata, and custom metadata can allow membership conditions that never match scalar values. Address these limitations before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30a3b

The change adds richer conditions and allows callers to supply rules directly. Tenant-scoped lookup remains, but future callers must preserve validation and qualified field identity. No reachable attack path was established; downstream integration and downgrade compatibility remain uncertain.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Managed lookup remains tenant-parameterized, and evaluation passes tenantDomain to metadata and data-provider selection. The new direct-rule path trusts caller-supplied configuration and tenant context; it does not itself establish remote or cross-tenant exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — RuleBuilder enforces allowed operators, qualifier presence, referenced-field allow-lists, metadata existence, and matching value types. Direct evaluation checks metadata presence but does not repeat those authoring controls. Validation remains an integration obligation rather than an enforced evaluator boundary.
  • observed — The static metadata loader constructs definitions without valueFieldOptions, and RuleBuilder rejects FIELD operands when those options are absent. This limits exposure through the shipped static authoring path, but does not constrain independently constructed metadata or unvalidated direct-rule callers.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before connecting caller-owned rules to security-sensitive conditional steps, establish a mandatory validation boundary, preserve qualifiers in provider responses, and define whether false or exceptional evaluation can skip a required control.

Reject or define scalar FIELD operands for membership.

RuleBuilder accepts FIELD values for in and notIn without checking that the referenced value is a collection. When comparable STRING fields resolve to scalars, RuleEvaluator passes the right-hand string to membershipPredicate, which returns false. The accepted rule can never match. Reject scalar references through a shape-aware validation contract, or define explicit scalar-to-scalar membership semantics.

Update membership operand validation in RuleBuilder so FIELD operands are
accepted only when the referenced field resolves to a collection; reject scalar
FIELD references unless the evaluator defines matching scalar-to-scalar
membership semantics. Keep LIST operands valid.

🟠 Major · Wire valueFieldOptions through the shipped metadata loader. · FieldDefinition.java:33-55

components/rule-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.rule.metadata/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/identity/rule/metadata/api/model/FieldDefinition.java:33-55
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Wire valueFieldOptions through the shipped metadata loader.

FieldDefinitionConfig.load() still calls the three-argument constructor, so every shipped definition has valueFieldOptions == null. The shipped fields.json also defines only equals and notEquals, with no valueFieldOptions.

RuleBuilder accepts a FIELD value only for in or notIn, and then rejects it when the options are null. Therefore, the new field-reference capability is unavailable through shipped metadata. Parse valueFieldOptions in FieldDefinitionConfig, pass it to the four-argument constructor, and add the required options and membership operators to the intended shipped field definitions.
