Why

src/oidc/ was a hand-rolled OpenID Connect relying party: discovery, PKCE, an encrypted state cookie, token exchange, JWKS + ID token validation, userinfo merging and user provisioning, glued into tokensecurity with an OIDC-only user service. HALOS is its only consumer, and every issue so far — #2594, #2599, #2954, #2955, the duplicate-username collision behind #2954 — was in that code or its glue. Meanwhile openid-client was already a dependency and its openid-client/passport strategy does everything the protocol modules did.

How

Core gets a passport-based provider registry (src/auth/), generic to any redirect-style login:

  • routes /signalk/v1/auth/:id/login|callback|logout (callback also accepts POST), ?redirect= validated against open redirects, failures land on /admin/#/login?authError=true&message=
  • an AES-256-GCM encrypted cookie req.session for the redirect round trip (passport strategies need one; no server-side store, secret derived from the master key)
  • identity → local user provisioning: key is provider + issuer + subject, username collisions get a subject-derived suffix, permission mapped by the provider is applied on every login, writes are persisted before they hit memory and serialized so concurrent first logins can neither duplicate a record nor a username
  • SecurityStrategy.registerAuthenticationProvider()app.registerAuthenticationProvider() for plugins (typed in @signalk/server-api, auto-unregistered on plugin stop, documented in the plugin guide)

OIDC becomes one provider registered through that same API: openid-client handles discovery (lazily, on first login — the IdP may boot after Signal K), PKCE, nonce, token exchange, ID token and userinfo validation. Configuration (env vars, security.json, admin panel), callback URL, group → permission mapping, autoCreateUsers, autoLogin, providerName and RP-initiated logout are unchanged, so existing IdP registrations keep working. discovery/pkce/state/authorization/token-exchange/id-token-validation/user-info/oidc-auth and their tests are gone; jose is no longer a direct dependency.

User records store identity {provider, subject, issuer, email, name} instead of oidc; older files are migrated on read. The admin UI shows the provider badge plus subject/issuer/email per user (the discriminator #2954 asked for), and deleteUser removes every record carrying the username — with a username-keyed API that is the only outcome guaranteed to revoke access.

Breaking

  • loginStatus: oidcEnabled / oidcAutoLogin / oidcLoginUrl / oidcProviderName are replaced by authProviders: [{ id, name, loginUrl, autoLogin }]
  • GET /signalk/v1/auth/oidc/status is removed (unused; loginStatus carries the same information)
  • login page error parameter is authError (was oidcError)
  • callbacks must be top-level GETs: the handshake cookie is SameSite=Lax
  • /skServer/security/users entries carry identity {provider, subject, issuer, email, name} instead of isOIDC / oidc
  • security.json is rewritten with identity records on the first save; a later downgrade to an older release no longer recognises those SSO users (restore the file from backup first)

Tested

  • npm test (server suite 1152 passing, admin UI 408, server-api, lint/format)
  • new e2e suite test/auth/oidc-e2e.test.ts runs the real server and the real openid-client strategy against an in-process OpenID provider (test/auth/mock-oidc-provider.ts: discovery, PKCE S256, RS256 ID tokens with nonce, userinfo, JWKS, end_session): first login with group mapping, permission refresh on re-login, preferred_username collision, legacy oidc record migration, unsafe redirect, autoCreateUsers=false, provider denial, missing ID token, missing/tampered handshake cookie, logout at the provider, admin connection test, unknown provider, and a plugin-style strategy registered at runtime
  • unit tests for provisioning (persist-first rollback, serialization, collisions), the handshake session, the registry and the legacy migration

fixes #2954, fixes #2955

Summary

This PR replaces the hand-rolled OIDC flow with openid-client/passport and adds a generic Passport authentication-provider registry.

  • Adds provider registration, login, callback, and logout routes.
  • Protects redirect state with encrypted handshake-session cookies.
  • Validates redirects and sanitizes authentication errors.
  • Provisions external identities with collision-safe usernames.
  • Persists user changes before updating in-memory state.
  • Serializes concurrent provisioning and recovers from persistence failures.
  • Migrates legacy oidc records to identity records.
  • Removes all records that match a deleted username.
  • Displays provider identity details in the admin UI.
  • Exposes providers through loginStatus.authProviders.
  • Registers OIDC through the provider system while preserving configuration, group-to-permission mapping, user provisioning, and logout behavior.
  • Adds plugin support through app.registerAuthenticationProvider().
  • Removes the former OIDC modules and the direct jose dependency.
  • Adds server, API, admin UI, unit, integration, and end-to-end test coverage.

Replace the hand-rolled OpenID Connect relying party (discovery, PKCE,
state cookie, token exchange, ID token validation, userinfo) with the
passport strategy from openid-client, and make everything around it
generic: a registry of authentication providers with routes at
/signalk/v1/auth/:id/{login,callback,logout}, an encrypted cookie
session for the redirect round trip, and identity -> local user
provisioning that persists before it mutates memory and is serialized
across concurrent logins.

Plugins can register any redirect-style passport strategy through
app.registerAuthenticationProvider(). The OIDC login is now such a
provider; its configuration surface (env vars, security.json, admin UI,
callback URL) is unchanged.

User records store the identity as `identity` {provider, subject,
issuer, email, name}; older `oidc` records are migrated on read. The
admin UI shows provider, subject and issuer per user, and deleteUser
removes every record carrying the username.

Breaking: loginStatus replaces oidcEnabled/oidcAutoLogin/oidcLoginUrl/
oidcProviderName with authProviders[]; /signalk/v1/auth/oidc/status is
removed; the login page error parameter is authError.

fixes SignalK#2954, fixes SignalK#2955

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 82dbd

This PR replaces the existing OIDC path with a provider-based authentication flow and changes user identity records and administration. At the current head, the handshake cookie’s Secure setting can be influenced by a client-controlled header, while duplicate user records may be indistinguishable in the admin UI and deletion can affect every matching username; these create bounded authentication and account-administration risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

220-238: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Duplicate user IDs break the row key and make Delete ambiguous.

This PR states that duplicate usernames can exist and that the admin UI must show identity details so operators can tell those records apart. The new cells at lines 220-233 render that per-record identity data, but the row key on line 217 is user.userId. Two records with the same userId produce duplicate React keys. React then logs a key warning and can reuse the wrong row during reconciliation, so a row may display the identity of the other duplicate after a refresh.

The delete action compounds this. deleteUser sends DELETE /security/users/${selectedUser.userId}, and test/tokensecurity-deleteuser.ts confirms the server removes every record carrying that user ID. An operator who picks one of two visibly distinct rows loses both accounts, with no confirmation step.

Use a key that includes the identity discriminator, and state the scope of the deletion before it runs.

🐛 Proposed fix for the row key and the delete confirmation
-                      <tr key={user.userId} onClick={() => userClicked(user)}>
+                      <tr
+                        key={`${user.userId}:${user.identity?.provider ?? 'local'}:${user.identity?.issuer ?? ''}:${user.identity?.subject ?? ''}`}
+                        onClick={() => userClicked(user)}
+                      >

Outside the selected range, in deleteUser:

const deleteUser = async () => {
  if (!selectedUser) return

  const duplicates = (users ?? []).filter(
    (u) => u.userId === selectedUser.userId
  ).length
  if (duplicates > 1) {
    const proceed = window.confirm(
      `${duplicates} records share the user ID "${selectedUser.userId}". Deleting removes all of them. Continue?`
    )
    if (!proceed) return
  }
  // ...existing fetch

Inline comments:
In `@docs/oidc.md`:
- Line 385: Update the three fenced code blocks in the OIDC documentation
containing the callback, logout, and loginStatus request paths to declare the
text language, preserving their contents unchanged so they satisfy MD040.

In `@packages/server-admin-ui/src/views/security/Users.tsx`:
- Around line 286-325: In the selectedUser identity display within Users.tsx,
replace the Form.Label elements used for read-only name, email, and identity
values with plain text elements, while retaining the Form.Label elements that
serve as captions. Apply this consistently to the Name, Email, and Identity
groups without changing their displayed content or conditional rendering.

In `@src/auth/handshake-session.ts`:
- Around line 105-107: Update isSecureRequest to rely solely on req.secure when
determining whether the handshake cookie should use the Secure attribute; remove
the direct x-forwarded-proto header check and let Express trust proxy
configuration govern forwarded protocol handling.

In `@src/auth/identity-store.ts`:
- Around line 36-51: Re-read the current user list from backing.users() after
each await in createUser and updateUser. Apply the post-persist mutation to the
refreshed live list: add the user to that list in createUser, and locate the
matching user there before applying updates in updateUser; do not mutate the
pre-persist array or stale user reference.

In `@src/auth/providers.ts`:
- Around line 266-279: Update the async handler passed to withProvider for the
logout route so failures from clearSessionCookie, provider.logoutUrl, and
res.redirect are caught or forwarded to Express via next. Ensure every rejection
from the handler is handled while preserving the existing redirect behavior and
logout-URL fallback.

In `@src/auth/provisioning.ts`:
- Around line 63-80: Update cleanUsername/preferredUsername and every
user-creation path so user IDs cannot be interpreted as path segments: reject or
safely transform exact "." and "..", then encode the complete ID as one segment
when constructing update and delete URLs in Users.tsx. Apply the same validation
consistently to IDs created from provider usernames, emails, and subjects.

In `@test/auth/handshake-session.test.ts`:
- Around line 114-128: Set an explicit, sufficiently generous Mocha timeout on
the test case identified by “ignores a tampered or expired cookie” so the
MAX_AGE_MS delay and all fetch round trips complete reliably on slower CI
runners.

In `@test/auth/mock-oidc-provider.ts`:
- Around line 252-253: Define an ACCESS_TOKEN_TTL_SECONDS constant alongside
ID_TOKEN_TTL_SECONDS in the mock OIDC provider, and replace the literal 3600
used by expires_in with that named constant.
- Around line 184-206: Update authorize() to reject requests unless
code_challenge is non-empty and code_challenge_method equals S256, returning the
existing invalid-request response before issuing a code. Store the validated
PKCE values in the issued authorization record and preserve the existing
verification flow.
- Around line 19-22: Remove the two echo comments above idTokenClaims and
userinfoClaims; leave both property declarations and their types unchanged.

Apply the same fix in `@tools/test-auth-negative.sh` around lines 286 - 315: The
same redundant-comment cleanup applies to this negative-test section.

In `@test/auth/oidc-e2e.test.ts`:
- Around line 228-256: Make both OIDC tests self-contained by creating the
prerequisite alice user record within each test before calling login. Update the
setup around the existing op.user assignments and preserve the assertions
verifying permission updates, uniqueness, and distinct naming; each test must
pass independently when run with .only, --grep, or --parallel.

In `@tools/test-auth-negative.sh`:
- Around line 307-311: Update Test 6 in the negative authentication test to
obtain a valid SK_AUTH_HANDSHAKE cookie by initiating a login request and
preserving its cookie, then invoke the OIDC callback with a different state
value. Keep the assertion for authError=true so the test specifically exercises
state comparison rather than encrypted-cookie validation.

In `@tools/test-oidc-all.sh`:
- Around line 119-122: Normalize extracted OIDC booleans to lowercase JSON and
avoid missing-key errors: in tools/test-oidc-all.sh lines 119-122, update
OIDC_ENABLED and OIDC_AUTO_LOGIN to use json.dumps(), match providers with
p.get('id'), and read autoLogin via p[0].get('autoLogin', False); in
tools/test-oidc-flow.sh line 195, update OIDC_ENABLED to use json.dumps() and
p.get('id').

In `@tools/test-oidc-flow.sh`:
- Line 196: Remove the unused OIDC_LOGIN_URL assignment from the OIDC flow
script, unless the migrated assertion that validates the provider login URL is
still required; if so, restore that assertion and consume the variable. Do not
leave OIDC_LOGIN_URL assigned without a read.

including the call using existing.username, existing.type, and
identity.permission and the additional call around the referenced later
location, with debug.enabled && so their interpolated messages are only
evaluated when debugging is enabled.

Make existing-user selection keyboard operable.

The selection action exists only on <tr onClick>. A table row is not focusable or keyboard actionable. Keyboard users cannot open an existing user to edit or delete it.

Add a button or link for the selection action. Keep the row display-only.

Skipped: the row-level onClick for selecting a user is unchanged from master; this PR only changed what the row shows. Making selection keyboard operable is a separate accessibility change for the whole users table.

@dirkwa Understood. The accessibility concern remains valid, but it is not introduced by this PR. A separate issue is the correct place to track it.

Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for keyboard-operable user selection in the Users table?

@coderabbitai

On the outside-diff comments of the second review: the four debug() calls with interpolated arguments are guarded with debug.enabled && in 82dbdc8. The API reference section in docs/oidc.md predates this PR and was only updated to stay accurate; kept.

@dirkwa, verification confirms both points.

Commit 82dbdc8c guards the reported interpolated debug() calls with debug.enabled &&.

The docs/oidc.md API Reference section existed before this PR. This PR updates its legacy OIDC API details to match the provider-based authentication API. The section is in scope.

I withdraw the outside-diff findings.

Learning: In this authentication-provider refactor, `docs/oidc.md` has a pre-existing API Reference section. Updates to that section that replace legacy OIDC fields and routes with the provider-based authentication API are in scope when they keep the documentation accurate.

Timestamp: 2026-08-16T23:42:39.353Z
Learning: In `src/auth/providers.ts` and `src/auth/provisioning.ts`, interpolated debug messages use `debug.enabled && debug(...)` to avoid interpolation work when debug logging is disabled.
