What

Adds an optional issuer field to a generic OAuth provider. When set, any OAuth endpoint left empty is filled from the issuer's /.well-known/openid-configuration document at startup:

providers:
  authentik:
    clientId: ...
    clientSecret: ...
    issuer: https://id.example.com/application/o/tinyauth/
    # authUrl / tokenUrl / userinfoUrl resolved via discovery

Why

Closes #974. You noted in the issue: "We could just add support for OIDC discovery. It's super simple and definitely a QOL improvement." This is that — scoped only to discovery, not the broader provider-template idea in the issue.

Because discovery is the spec-compliant path, it does not open the door to non-OIDC providers; a provider still has to expose a standard well-known document.

Behaviour / compatibility

  • Explicitly configured endpoints are never overwritten — only empty ones are filled, so an existing config with authUrl/tokenUrl/userinfoUrl set behaves exactly as before.
  • A provider with no issuer is returned unchanged (no network call).
  • A provider whose endpoints are all already set skips discovery entirely (no network call).
  • Fails soft: a discovery error (unreachable issuer, non-200, bad JSON) is logged as a warning and the configured endpoints are used, exactly as today — startup is never broken by it.
  • Preset providers (google, github) are untouched — discovery only runs on the custom/generic path.

Tests

New TestResolveOIDCDiscovery covers: no issuer; fills missing endpoints; does not overwrite explicit ones; skips when all set; fail-soft on non-200 and on invalid JSON. go vet, go test ./..., go test -race, and a GOOS=windows build all pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Custom OAuth providers can use an OIDC issuer URL to fill in blank authorization, token, or user-info endpoints from the issuer’s discovery document.
    • Explicitly configured endpoints are preserved, and discovery is skipped when all three endpoints are provided. Issuer validation and HTTPS requirements help ensure the discovered configuration matches the provider.
    • If discovery fails, the provider can still be constructed with its available configuration.

Adds an optional issuer field to a generic OAuth provider. When set, any
OAuth endpoint left empty (authUrl, tokenUrl, userinfoUrl) is filled from
the issuer's /.well-known/openid-configuration document at startup, so a
spec-compliant provider can be configured with just an issuer, client ID
and secret.

Explicitly configured endpoints are never overwritten and a provider with
no issuer is unchanged, so this is backwards compatible. Discovery fails
soft: an error is logged and the configured endpoints are used as before.
Preset providers (google, github) are unaffected.

Closes tinyauthapp#974

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Custom OAuth providers can specify an OIDC issuer. The broker resolves missing endpoint URLs from the issuer’s discovery document before constructing the OAuth service.

Changes

Custom OAuth OIDC discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Issuer configuration and endpoint resolution
internal/model/config.go, internal/service/oauth_discovery.go
OAuthServiceConfig adds an Issuer field. When an issuer is set and endpoint URLs are missing, the resolver requests the discovery document, validates the issuer and effective endpoints, and fills the missing fields.
Broker integration and discovery tests
internal/service/oauth_broker_service.go, internal/service/oauth_discovery_test.go
The broker resolves discovery for non-preset providers and logs a warning if resolution fails. Tests cover skipped discovery, endpoint population and preservation, issuer validation, non-200 responses, invalid JSON, and oversized response bodies.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Read at most 1 MiB of the discovery document via io.LimitReader so a slow

A truncated body surfaces as the existing fail-soft decode error.

Cover configured endpoints on discovery-error paths.

Both error fixtures set only Issuer and assert empty endpoint fields. A regression that returns an empty configuration on non-200 or invalid-JSON errors would pass these tests. The successful-discovery test does not exercise either error branch.

Suggested fix
 		cfg := model.OAuthServiceConfig{Issuer: server.URL}
+		cfg.AuthURL = "https://custom.example.com/auth"
+		cfg.TokenURL = "https://custom.example.com/token"
+		cfg.UserinfoURL = "https://custom.example.com/userinfo"

 		got, err := resolveOIDCDiscovery(cfg, context.Background())

 		require.Error(t, err)
-		assert.Empty(t, got.AuthURL)
-		assert.Empty(t, got.TokenURL)
-		assert.Empty(t, got.UserinfoURL)
+		assert.Equal(t, cfg, got)

Apply the same configured-endpoint fixture and assert.Equal(t, cfg, got) assertion to the invalid-document case.

Reject a discovery document whose issuer does not match the configured
issuer (OIDC Discovery 1.0 section 4.3, RFC 8414 section 3.3), so a
substitution or mix-up cannot repoint the endpoints (the token endpoint
receives the client secret) at an unexpected provider. A trailing slash
is not significant. Also document that discovery uses the provider's TLS
settings, so 'insecure' disables certificate verification for it too.

A document that is valid JSON but omits authorization_endpoint,
token_endpoint or userinfo_endpoint previously left the field empty and
returned no error, so the broker built a provider with an empty endpoint
and logged no warning. Validate the effective endpoints (explicit value
wins, otherwise discovered) and fail soft when one is still missing, so
the misconfiguration is surfaced instead of silently applied.

Comment thread internal/service/oauth_discovery.go
Refuse to fetch the discovery document from a non-HTTPS issuer, and do
not follow a redirect that downgrades to a non-HTTPS URL, unless this
provider's insecure option is explicitly set. Fetching endpoints over
cleartext would let an intermediary swap the token endpoint and capture
the client secret during the exchange. OIDC discovery requires secure
issuer transport.

🟠 Major · Reject non-HTTPS discovered userinfo endpoints. · oauth_discovery.go:113-154

internal/service/oauth_discovery.go:113-154
🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject non-HTTPS discovered userinfo endpoints.

When discovery returns an HTTP userinfo_endpoint and Insecure is false, the resolver stores it. The generic extractor sends a GET request through oauth2.NewClient with oauth2.StaticTokenSource. The OAuth transport adds the bearer token and does not enforce HTTPS. The authorization and token endpoint guards do not protect this independent request.

Suggested fix
 	userinfoURL := cfg.UserinfoURL
 	if userinfoURL == "" {
 		userinfoURL = doc.UserinfoEndpoint
+		if userinfoURL != "" && !cfg.Insecure {
+			endpointURL, err := url.Parse(userinfoURL)
+			if err != nil || endpointURL.Scheme != "https" {
+				return cfg, fmt.Errorf("refusing to use non-HTTPS discovered userinfo endpoint %q", userinfoURL)

Comment thread internal/service/oauth_discovery.go
An HTTPS issuer can still return http endpoints in its discovery document.
Reject a discovered authorization, token or userinfo endpoint that is not
HTTPS unless this provider's insecure option is set, so the client cannot
send a user to a cleartext sign-in page or POST its secret to a cleartext
token endpoint. Explicitly configured endpoints are left untouched. The
document-processing logic is split into applyDiscoveryDocument for testing.
