James Tucker 85c1efb466 net/{connreject,tstun},feature/connreject,wgengine,client/local: add connection-rejection diagnostics
Adds an opt-in, in-memory aggregator of recent connection-rejection
events (TSMP rejects received from peers, outbound TSMP rejects we emit
on ACL-blocked inbound flows, and pendopen timeouts) keyed by
(direction, proto, peer-address, reason). The aggregated data is exposed
over a new debug-rejects LocalAPI endpoint and a GET /debug/rejects c2n
endpoint, intended for future GUI/CLI consumption when diagnosing why a
connection failed.

Architecture:
 - net/connreject holds the data types and a per-LocalBackend
   Aggregator (LRU-bounded, default 256 entries on desktop / 32 on
   mobile, per direction).
 - feature/connreject is a self-registering ipnext.Extension that owns
   one Aggregator per LocalBackend, installs note callbacks on the
   tundev and engine, subscribes to OnSelfChange to flip the runtime
   gate, and serves the LocalAPI/c2n endpoints.
 - wgengine.Engine and *tstun.Wrapper each gain a SetConnRejectNote
   setter; data-plane sites use a single atomic.Pointer load + nil
   check, so the cost when no consumer is installed is one MOV.

Gating:
 - Compile-time: ts_omit_connreject build tag (standard
   feature/buildfeatures + condregister plumbing). Trims ~41 KB.
 - Runtime: nodecap.ConnReject node attribute, off by default
   at the control plane. May be removed once the feature is enabled
   by default.

Updates CapabilityVersion to 146 (clients understand nodecap.ConnReject
and can serve GET /debug/rejects).

Adds Proto/Src/Dst accessors on flowtrack.Tuple (used by pendopen to
construct events without exposing the tuple's internals to the
aggregator).

Caution

Development of tsidp has been moved to https://github.com/tailscale/tsidp and it is no longer maintained here. Please visit the new repository to see the latest updates, file an issue, or contribute.

tsidp - Tailscale OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider

status: community project

tsidp is an OIDC Identity Provider (IdP) server that integrates with your Tailscale network. It allows you to use Tailscale identities for authentication in applications that support OpenID Connect, enabling single sign-on (SSO) capabilities within your tailnet.

Prerequisites

  • A Tailscale network (tailnet) with magicDNS and HTTPS enabled
  • A Tailscale authentication key from your tailnet
  • Docker installed on your system

Installation using Docker

Pre-built image

A pre-built tsidp image exists at tailscale/tsidp:unstable.

Building from Source

# Clone the Tailscale repository
git clone https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale.git
cd tailscale

# Build and publish to your own registry
make publishdevtsidp REPO=ghcr.io/yourusername/tsidp TAGS=v0.0.1 PUSH=true

Running the Container

Replace YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY with your Tailscale authentication key:

docker run -d \
  --name tsidp \
  -p 443:443 \
  -e TS_AUTHKEY=YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY \
  -e TAILSCALE_USE_WIP_CODE=1 \
  -v tsidp-data:/var/lib/tsidp \
  ghcr.io/yourusername/tsidp:v0.0.1 \
  tsidp --hostname=idp --dir=/var/lib/tsidp

Verify Installation

docker logs tsidp

Visit https://idp.tailnet.ts.net to confirm the service is running.

Usage Example: Proxmox Integration

Here's how to configure Proxmox to use tsidp for authentication:

  1. In Proxmox, navigate to Datacenter > Realms > Add OpenID Connect Server

  2. Configure the following settings:

    • Issuer URL: https://idp.velociraptor.ts.net
    • Realm: tailscale (or your preferred name)
    • Client ID: unused
    • Client Key: unused
    • Default: true
    • Autocreate users: true
    • Username claim: email
  3. Set up user permissions:

    • Go to Datacenter > Permissions > Groups
    • Create a new group (e.g., "tsadmins")
    • Click Permissions in the sidebar
    • Add Group Permission
    • Set Path to / for full admin access or scope as needed
    • Set the group and role
    • Add Tailscale-authenticated users to the group

Configuration Options

The tsidp server supports several command-line flags:

  • --verbose: Enable verbose logging
  • --port: Port to listen on (default: 443)
  • --local-port: Allow requests from localhost
  • --use-local-tailscaled: Use local tailscaled instead of tsnet
  • --hostname: tsnet hostname
  • --dir: tsnet state directory

Environment Variables

  • TS_AUTHKEY: Your Tailscale authentication key (required)
  • TS_HOSTNAME: Hostname for the tsidp server (default: "idp", Docker only)
  • TS_STATE_DIR: State directory (default: "/var/lib/tsidp", Docker only)
  • TAILSCALE_USE_WIP_CODE: Enable work-in-progress code (default: "1")
