Replace the boolean authenticator result with a typed AuthenticationResult
containing AuthenticationState (NotApplicable, Failed, Succeeded, Error)
to distinguish between non-applicability, rejected credentials, and
dependency failures.
All existing authentication behavior remains observably unchanged.
Do not set WWW-Authenticate headers when an active signed URL
authentication attempt fails. Signed URL clients cannot respond to Basic
or Bearer challenges, and advertising them may trigger unintended
authentication prompts.
Keep returning 401 Unauthorized while preserving the existing challenge
behavior for unsigned requests and disabled signed URL mechanisms.
* Move away from global tracers.
This PR moves away from global tracers and instead initialises
a tracer provider at Service setup and passes it where it needs to be.
* Change tracing provider to be set via options.
Also change name for GetServiceTraceProvider.
* Add changelog.
I added an unprotected flag to the proxy routes which is evaluated by
the authentication middleware. This way we won't have to maintain a
hardcoded list of unprotected paths and path prefixes and we will
hopefully reduce the times we encounter the basic auth prompt by web
browsers.
The old approach of the authentication middlewares had the problem that when an authenticator could not authenticate a request it would still send it to the next handler, in case that the next one can authenticate it. But if no authenticator could successfully authenticate the request, it would still be handled, which leads to unauthorized access.
Allow to switch jwt access token verification and off. Many (most?) IDP
provide JWT encoded access tokens. If ocis is configure to assume jwt
access tokens (access_token_verify_method==jwt) we now properly verify
the tokens signature and a set of standard claims ("exp", "iat" and nbf"
by way of the jwt module's standard verification and "iss" explicitliy).
This change also allows for introduction of other access token verification
mechanism in the future (e.g. through introspection (RFC7662).
