Owner decisions 2026-10-25: a user connects their OpenID account and signs in with either it or
their password; the admin picks passwords only, OpenID only (admins keep a password way in), or
mixed. No automatic accounts. OIDC sessions re-checked every 15 min with the refresh token;
signing out also signs out at the provider; password sign-ins keep two-step. LDAP is one more way
to check a password. Decision 0004: openid-client and ldapts. Tasks S1-S5.
Spec 12 S1: migration 0012 (password_hash nullable, user_identities, sessions.method and the
OpenID token columns), auth.mode (only "password" until S2), GET /api/auth/methods, login body
{login, password} (email still accepted), signIn on users and /api/auth/me, a Signs in with
column on Users. The last active admin with a password can't be deleted, disabled or demoted.
Spec 12 S2: openid-client 6.8 (decision 0004). Discovery, PKCE + state + nonce, ID token
signatures checked, userinfo always read. Users connect their OpenID account from My account
and sign in either way; no accounts are made; a user without a password is matched once by
verified email. auth.mode mixed and oidc (admins keep a password way in), role from adminGroups,
allowedGroups, signing out at the provider. Settings -> Sign-in with Test. Tested against a fake
provider with RS256 and ES256 keys.
Spec 12 S3: job oidcCheck refreshes every OpenID session at the provider every 15 minutes and
applies groups and role again; invalid_grant ends the session, an outage doesn't. A live test
makes a throwaway Keycloak realm and signs in through its login form (passed against 26.8.1).
NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS for a private CA. Admin guide: docs/admin-guide/sign-in.md.
Spec 12 S4: the login form checks the SelfPhoneNG password first, then the directory (ldapts,
service-account search, the user's own bind on a second connection). Presets for lldap, AD,
FreeIPA and OpenLDAP; Test with an optional test login. A directory account connects by email,
never makes a user; adminFilter sets the role (applyRole shared with OpenID). One Disconnect
route per kind (oidc, ldap). Live test against lldap 0.6.3 over LDAPS.
Spec 12 S5: job directoryCheck (hourly) looks up every active user with a directory account;
one deleted, disabled there or no longer matched by the user filter is disabled here, sessions
ended. Nothing changes when the directory is unreachable or a run would disable most people;
the last admin with a password is kept; nobody is re-enabled. Dashboard warning
directory_check (system.directoryWarning). The by-id search is a filter object: ldapts string
filters send bytes >= 0x80 as UTF-8, so AD's objectGUID never matched. Live test against a
Samba 4 AD DC: nested-group admin, the disabled bit, objectGUID, a deleted user disabled.
Two separate reviews of the SSO branch and all 207 API routes (spec 12 §8.6). Every route was
guarded as meant. Fixed, each with a test:
- login: a directory 503 counts as a failed sign-in; a locked directory account is a refused
password, not "unavailable"
- open redirect after OpenID sign-in (a tab in next)
- directory email matching only for non-admins without their own password; others connect on
My settings (POST /api/me/identities/ldap); only admins disconnect a directory account
- OpenID session check reads the refreshed ID token's claims too
- connect is POST /api/auth/oidc/connect (CSRF header)
- stored bind password, client secret and SMTP password tied to their server
- 409 role_managed when a provider sets the role; empty Contrack PATCH is a 400
- @fastify/rate-limit on every route (RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE), 10/min on Test buttons; a
password asked again shares the login limiter
Live tests pass against lldap 0.6.3, Samba 4 AD and Keycloak 26.8.1.
