# Enhanced OAuth2 and MCP Compliance for API Authentication
This PR improves OAuth2 and MCP (Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty)
compliance by:
1. Adding RFC 9728 compliant `WWW-Authenticate` headers with resource
metadata URLs
2. Passing the configured `AccessURL` to API key middleware for proper
audience validation
3. Creating specialized CORS handling for OAuth2 and MCP endpoints with
appropriate headers
4. Making the `state` parameter optional in OAuth2 authorization
requests
These changes ensure proper OAuth2 token audience validation against the
configured access URL and improve interoperability with OAuth2 clients
by providing better error responses and metadata discovery.

# Add RFC 6750 Bearer Token Authentication Support
This PR implements RFC 6750 Bearer Token authentication as an additional authentication method for Coder's API. This allows clients to authenticate using standard OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens in two ways:
1. Using the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header
2. Using the `access_token` query parameter
Key changes:
- Added support for extracting tokens from both Bearer headers and access_token query parameters
- Implemented proper WWW-Authenticate headers for 401/403 responses with appropriate error descriptions
- Added comprehensive test coverage for the new authentication methods
- Updated the OAuth2 protected resource metadata endpoint to advertise Bearer token support
- Enhanced the OAuth2 testing script to verify Bearer token functionality
These authentication methods are added as fallback options, maintaining backward compatibility with Coder's existing authentication mechanisms. The existing authentication methods (cookies, session token header, etc.) still take precedence.
This implementation follows the OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token specification (RFC 6750) and improves interoperability with standard OAuth 2.0 clients.
# Add OAuth2 Protected Resource Metadata Endpoint
This PR implements the OAuth2 Protected Resource Metadata endpoint according to RFC 9728. The endpoint is available at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` and provides information about Coder as an OAuth2 protected resource.
Key changes:
- Added a new endpoint at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` that returns metadata about Coder as an OAuth2 protected resource
- Created a new `OAuth2ProtectedResourceMetadata` struct in the SDK
- Added tests to verify the endpoint functionality
- Updated API documentation to include the new endpoint
The implementation currently returns basic metadata including the resource identifier and authorization server URL. The `scopes_supported` field is empty until a scope system based on RBAC permissions is implemented. The `bearer_methods_supported` field is omitted as Coder uses custom authentication methods rather than standard RFC 6750 bearer tokens.
A TODO has been added to implement RFC 6750 bearer token support in the future.
This pull request implements RFC 8707, Resource Indicators for OAuth 2.0 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8707), to enhance the security of our OAuth 2.0 provider.
This change enables proper audience validation and binds access tokens to their intended resource, which is crucial
for preventing token misuse in multi-tenant environments or deployments with multiple resource servers.
## Key Changes:
* Resource Parameter Support: Adds support for the resource parameter in both the authorization (`/oauth2/authorize`) and token (`/oauth2/token`) endpoints, allowing clients to specify the intended resource server.
* Audience Validation: Implements server-side validation to ensure that the resource parameter provided during the token exchange matches the one from the authorization request.
* API Middleware Enforcement: Introduces a new validation step in the API authentication middleware (`coderd/httpmw/apikey.go`) to verify that the audience of the access token matches the resource server being accessed.
* Database Schema Updates:
* Adds a `resource_uri` column to the `oauth2_provider_app_codes` table to store the resource requested during authorization.
* Adds an `audience` column to the `oauth2_provider_app_tokens` table to bind the issued token to a specific audience.
* Enhanced PKCE: Includes a minor enhancement to the PKCE implementation to protect against timing attacks.
* Comprehensive Testing: Adds extensive new tests to `coderd/oauth2_test.go` to cover various RFC 8707 scenarios, including valid flows, mismatched resources, and refresh token validation.
## How it Works:
1. An OAuth2 client specifies the target resource (e.g., https://coder.example.com) using the resource parameter in the authorization request.
2. The authorization server stores this resource URI with the authorization code.
3. During the token exchange, the server validates that the client provides the same resource parameter.
4. The server issues an access token with an audience claim set to the validated resource URI.
5. When the client uses the access token to call an API endpoint, the middleware verifies that the token's audience matches the URL of the Coder deployment, rejecting any tokens intended for a different resource.
This ensures that a token issued for one Coder deployment cannot be used to access another, significantly strengthening our authentication security.

The file cache was caching the `Unauthorized` errors if a user without
the right perms opened the file first. So all future opens would fail.
Now the cache always opens with a subject that can read files. And authz
is checked on the Acquire per user.
fixes#17070
Cleans up our handling of APIKey expiration and OIDC to keep them separate concepts. For an OIDC-login APIKey, both the APIKey and OIDC link must be valid to login. If the OIDC link is expired and we have a refresh token, we will attempt to refresh.
OIDC refreshes do not have any effect on APIKey expiry.
https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/17070#issuecomment-2886183613 explains why this is the correct behavior.

Move claims from a `debug` column to an actual typed column to be used.
This does not functionally change anything, it just adds some Go typing to build
on.
* chore: refactor user subject logic to be in 1 place
* test: implement test to assert deleted custom roles are omitted
* add unit test for deleted role
* chore: create type for unique role names
Using `string` was confusing when something should be combined with
org context, and when not to. Naming this new name, "RoleIdentifier"
* chore: merge authorization contexts
Instead of 2 auth contexts from apikey and dbauthz, merge them to
just use dbauthz. It is annoying to have two.
* fixup authorization reference
This cleans up `root.go` a bit, adds tests for middleware HTTP transport
functions, and removes two HTTP requests we always always performed previously
when executing *any* client command.
It should improve CLI performance (especially for users with higher latency).

- Adds commands `server dbcrypt {rotate,decrypt,delete}` to re-encrypt, decrypt, or delete encrypted data, respectively.
- Plumbs through dbcrypt in enterprise/coderd (including unit tests).
- Adds documentation in admin/encryption.md.
This enables dbcrypt by default, but the feature is soft-enforced on supplying external token encryption keys. Without specifying any keys, encryption/decryption is a no-op.
* chore: update refresh oauth token message
* chore: unauthorized -> forbidden for non authentication failures
* redirect to login on all 401 responses
* add unit test to verify 401 on expired refresh
* chore: add /v2 to import module path
go mod requires semantic versioning with versions greater than 1.x
This was a mechanical update by running:
```
go install github.com/marwan-at-work/mod/cmd/mod@latest
mod upgrade
```
Migrate generated files to import /v2
* Fix gen
This commit fixes an edge case tied to unexpired oauth logins where the
oauth provider is removed, the server restarted, and the users auth
expiring after the fact.
Refs #8351, #8352, #8390
* test: Add benchmark for static rbac roles
* static roles should only be allocated once
* A unit test that modifies the ast value should not mess with the globals
* Cache subject AST values to avoid reallocating slices
- rbac: export rbac.Permissions
- dbauthz: move GetDeploymentDAUs, GetTemplateDAUs,
GetTemplateAverageBuildTime from querier.go to system.go
and removes auth checks
- dbauthz: remove AsSystem(), add individual roles for
autostart, provisionerd, add restricted system role for
everything else
feat: Add initial AuthzQuerier implementation
- Adds package database/dbauthz that adds a database.Store implementation where each method goes through AuthZ checks
- Implements all database.Store methods on AuthzQuerier
- Updates and fixes unit tests where required
- Updates coderd initialization to use AuthzQuerier if codersdk.ExperimentAuthzQuerier is enabled
Adds --session-duration which lets admins customize the default session
expiration for browser sessions.
Adds --disable-session-expiry-refresh which allows admins to prevent
session expiry from being automatically bumped upon the API key being
used.
* chore: rename `AgentConn` to `WorkspaceAgentConn`
The codersdk was becoming bloated with consts for the workspace
agent that made no sense to a reader. `Tailnet*` is an example
of these consts.
* chore: remove `Get` prefix from *Client functions
* chore: remove `BypassRatelimits` option in `codersdk.Client`
It feels wrong to have this as a direct option because it's so infrequently
needed by API callers. It's better to directly modify headers in the two
places that we actually use it.
* Merge `appearance.go` and `buildinfo.go` into `deployment.go`
* Merge `experiments.go` and `features.go` into `deployment.go`
* Fix `make gen` referencing old type names
* Merge `error.go` into `client.go`
`codersdk.Response` lived in `error.go`, which is wrong.
* chore: refactor workspace agent functions into agentsdk
It was odd conflating the codersdk that clients should use
with functions that only the agent should use. This separates
them into two SDKs that are closely coupled, but separate.
* Merge `insights.go` into `deployment.go`
* Merge `organizationmember.go` into `organizations.go`
* Merge `quota.go` into `workspaces.go`
* Rename `sse.go` to `serversentevents.go`
* Rename `codersdk.WorkspaceAppHostResponse` to `codersdk.AppHostResponse`
* Format `.vscode/settings.json`
* Fix outdated naming in `api.ts`
* Fix app host response
* Fix unsupported type
* Fix imported type
* chore: Implement standard rbac.Subject to be reused everywhere
An rbac subject is created in multiple spots because of the way we
expand roles, scopes, etc. This difference in use creates a list
of arguments which is unwieldy.
Use of the expander interface lets us conform to a single subject
in every case
* chore: Authz should support non-named roles
Named roles are a construct for users to assign/interact with roles.
For authzlayer implementation, we need to create "system" users.
To enforce strict security, we are making specific roles with
the exact required permissions for the system action.
These new roles should not be available to the user. There is a
clear code divide with this implementation that allows a RoleNames
implemenation for users to user, and system users can create their
own implementation
- When logging in with Google OIDC refresh tokens are not
provided unless explicitly asked for. This PR updates
the logic to avoid attempting to refresh the token if
a refresh token does not exist.
A session should only be dependent on a valid Coder API
key, the state of its OAuth token (beyond initial authentication)
should be irrelevant.
