Authenticate with AEM Edge Delivery Services using Adobe IMS OAuth. Opens browser for Adobe ID login and captures token. Works for admin.hlx.page, admin.da.live, and Config Service APIs.

General

What this skill does


# AEM Edge Delivery Services Authentication

Authenticate with Adobe IMS to obtain a Bearer token for all Edge Delivery Services admin operations.

## Token Usage

The IMS token works for all admin APIs:

| API | Usage |
|-----|-------|
| `admin.hlx.page` | Preview, publish, status, code sync, jobs, logs |
| `admin.da.live` | DA content operations (list, source, copy, move) |
| Config Service | Sites, config, secrets, API keys, profiles |

**Header:** `Authorization: Bearer ${IMS_TOKEN}`

## When to Use This Skill

- API returns 401 Unauthorized
- User says "login", "authenticate", "auth"
- Before any admin operation when token is missing/expired
- Before generating guides that need API access

## Prerequisites

- Node.js installed
- Playwright installed (`npx playwright install chromium`)

---

## Authentication Flow

### Step 1: Check Existing Token

```bash
CONFIG_FILE=".claude-plugin/project-config.json"
mkdir -p .claude-plugin
grep -qxF '.claude-plugin/' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.claude-plugin/' >> .gitignore

IMS_TOKEN=$(cat "$CONFIG_FILE" 2>/dev/null | node -e "
  const d = require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8');
  try { console.log(JSON.parse(d).imsToken || ''); } catch(e) { console.log(''); }
")
IMS_EXPIRY=$(cat "$CONFIG_FILE" 2>/dev/null | node -e "
  const d = require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8');
  try { console.log(JSON.parse(d).imsTokenExpiry || 0); } catch(e) { console.log(0); }
")
NOW=$(date +%s)

if [ -n "$IMS_TOKEN" ] && [ "$IMS_EXPIRY" -gt "$((NOW + 60))" ]; then
  echo "Token valid (expires in $((IMS_EXPIRY - NOW)) seconds)"
  exit 0
fi

echo "Token missing or expired. Starting login..."
```

### Step 2: Install Playwright (if needed)

```bash
npx playwright --version 2>/dev/null || npm install -g playwright
npx playwright install chromium 2>/dev/null || true
```

### Step 3: Capture IMS Token via Playwright

Playwright opens browser, local HTTP server captures the OAuth token from redirect, then browser closes automatically.

```bash
mkdir -p .claude-plugin

node -e "
const http = require('http');
const fs = require('fs');
const { chromium } = require('playwright');

const CALLBACK_PORT = 9898;
const CONFIG_PATH = '.claude-plugin/project-config.json';

const scopes = 'ab.manage,AdobeID,gnav,openid,org.read,read_organizations,session,aem.frontend.all,additional_info.ownerOrg,additional_info.projectedProductContext,account_cluster.read';

const authUrl = 'https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/authorize/v2' +
  '?client_id=darkalley' +
  '&scope=' + encodeURIComponent(scopes) +
  '&response_type=token' +
  '&redirect_uri=' + encodeURIComponent('http://localhost:' + CALLBACK_PORT + '/callback');

let browser;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  const url = new URL(req.url, 'http://localhost:' + CALLBACK_PORT);
  
  if (url.pathname === '/callback') {
    res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
    res.end(\\\`<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>
<script>
  const p = new URLSearchParams(window.location.hash.substring(1));
  const token = p.get('access_token');
  const expiresIn = p.get('expires_in');
  if (token) {
    fetch('/token?access_token=' + encodeURIComponent(token) + '&expires_in=' + encodeURIComponent(expiresIn || ''));
    document.body.innerHTML = '<h2>Login successful!</h2>';
  } else {
    fetch('/token?error=failed');
    document.body.innerHTML = '<h2>Login failed</h2>';
  }
</script>
</body></html>\\\`);
    return;
  }
  
  if (url.pathname === '/token') {
    const token = url.searchParams.get('access_token');
    const expiresIn = url.searchParams.get('expires_in');
    res.writeHead(200); res.end();
    server.close();
    
    if (token) {
      const expiresAt = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + parseInt(expiresIn || '86400', 10);
      let config = {};
      try { config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(CONFIG_PATH, 'utf8')); } catch(e) {}
      config.imsToken = token;
      config.imsTokenExpiry = expiresAt;
      fs.writeFileSync(CONFIG_PATH, JSON.stringify(config, null, 2));
      
      console.log('Authentication successful');
      console.log('Expires: ' + new Date(expiresAt * 1000).toISOString());
      
      // Auto-close browser
      if (browser) browser.close().then(() => process.exit(0));
    } else {
      console.error('Login failed');
      if (browser) browser.close().then(() => process.exit(1));
    }
  }
});

(async () => {
  server.listen(CALLBACK_PORT, 'localhost');
  
  console.log('Opening browser for Adobe ID login...');
  browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto(authUrl);
  
  // Timeout after 5 minutes
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.error('Login timed out');
    server.close();
    browser.close().then(() => process.exit(1));
  }, 5 * 60 * 1000);
})();
"
```

---

## Token Storage

Stored in `.claude-plugin/project-config.json`:

```json
{
  "org": "myorg",
  "site": "mysite",
  "imsToken": "eyJ...",
  "imsTokenExpiry": 1777891272
}
```

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `imsToken` | IMS OAuth token |
| `imsTokenExpiry` | Unix timestamp when token expires |

---

## Using the Token

```bash
IMS_TOKEN=$(cat .claude-plugin/project-config.json | node -e "
  const d = require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8');
  console.log(JSON.parse(d).imsToken);
")

# All APIs use the same header
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${IMS_TOKEN}" "https://admin.hlx.page/status/{org}/{site}/main/"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${IMS_TOKEN}" "https://admin.hlx.page/config/{org}/sites.json"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${IMS_TOKEN}" "https://admin.da.live/list/{org}/{site}"
```

---

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| `npx playwright` not found | Run `npm install -g playwright` |
| Browser doesn't open | Run `npx playwright install chromium` |
| Port 9898 in use | Kill process or wait |
| Login page doesn't load | Check network to `ims-na1.adobelogin.com` |
| Token not captured | Ensure login completed before closing browser |
| 401 after login | Token expired, re-authenticate |
| 403 on API | User lacks permission for that org/site |
