JWT Mint/Validate Role Confusion

cluster-83

Bearer tokens fail or become forgeable because the system confuses minting (signing) with validation (verifying and building a claims principal), so secrets/claims and auth flow semantics drift across apps and endpoints.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Axios requests need to work on both client and server in Next.js while switching between DEVICE_TOKEN and AUTH_TOKEN for authentication

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Is there a way to pass an argument to a function defined within the `dependencies` argument — within the `dependencies` argument of, for instance, `app.get`. Tension: I really want to do is provide an argument to `verify_token`. Outcome: there isn't, what other options exist ?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

decoded_token = keycloak_openid.decode_token( token,validate=True, ) — I am trying to use keycloak in my FastAPI app. Tension: verify_token(token: str = Depends(oauth2_scheme)).

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Tension: From my research and own implementation I get mixed answers. Outcome: If I restart my app, I still can access the session data using the token.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

The token is visible in inspect > application tab in my browser. — The frontend stores the token in localStorage. Tension: My problem is this flow seems not very secure. Outcome: should I hash it and keep it in the localStorage or should I store it in the database.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

can use ouath2 and json web tokens to create login for users — FastAPI oauth2 + jwt extend exp time at every request. Outcome: response.headers["bearer-refreshed"] = access_token.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

POST https://api.hcaptcha.com/authenticate 401 (Unauthorized) — this is only happening on the web not on the native apps. Tension: {"pass":false,"error-codes":["pat-missing-auth"]}. Outcome: the hcaptcha 401 issue disappeared.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

nothing is modified and 0 rows are returned — with the following RLS rules. Tension: the authentication check `( auth.uid() = user_id )` doesn't match up when using the JWT. Outcome: I think I need to pass the JWT to the `supabase` client as well.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

If at all I login in a new tab and close it. Tension: A Session needs to be maintained for authentication and authorization. Outcome: How can I achieve it?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

you should use the same secret in both places. Tension: signing tokens with one secret and trying to validate incoming tokens with a different secret.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Each application should gets its own token for data access. Tension: with its own access to resources.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Avoid passing tokens in URLs. Tension: tokens can leak to logs and be exploited.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Is it a good idea to make a call to the authorization service for every request? — a "one-per-request" filter to the main service. Tension: to call the authorization service, check the JWT, and get user information from it. Outcome: in the future, to all other services.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

How can I get the authenticated user in the main service? Tension: In a monolithic application, I would save it in the SecurityContextHolder in a "one-per-request" filter. Outcome: Should I add a "one-per-request" filter to the main service.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

there is an endpoint in the main service that needs to be secured not only by a valid JWT — in the main service. Tension: but also by the roles that the authenticated user has. Outcome: configure secured endpoints for each service?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

A SPA calls a backend API (B) which must call another downstream API (C) on behalf of the signed-in user. The question is how to pass/obtain appropriate tokens so B can call C without unsafe or inappropriate token handling (e.g., forwarding an identity token).

INSTANCE_OFProblem

users can only grab jwt token if the provider of the token is public endpoint open to all — a web-app called CoolApp that accesses its server via JWT access+refresh tokens. Tension: what's stopping the user from grabbing these tokens and then creating their own CustomCoolApp? Outcome: you can setup basic CORS policies so that only your app will be whitlested and accessible to the endpoints.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

How does `az account get-access-token --resource api://<appid>` retrieve an access token when the Azure CLI app itself does not appear to have permissions/scopes for the target application and no middle-tier API is present for an on-behalf-of flow.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

how do I see whether it's an access token or an ID token? — Given a JWT token (OIDC) issued by Microsoft identity platform. Tension: I don't want the check to rely on assumptions.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I can pass user id through a query string — When consumer click on the "dashboard" link on Mobile App. Tension: how can I make them sign in to our Web app without going through another Login screen. Outcome: I have read a bit about SSO, is that right direction I am thinking towards?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Refresh tokens are typically long lived. — With our mobile applications, the product requirement is that we must provide a native/in-app login experience for Android/iOS. Tension: Is there a way for me to hook into the refresh token usage to check if my user's password has expired before issuing them a new access token? Outcome: setting UpdateAccessTokenClaimsOnRefresh = true.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Open service that returns a username from a JWT — Sending your JWT to an "open" service. Tension: that extra network trip provides no value. Outcome: Get rid of it.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

handling endpoint authentication of Entra to custom SCIM endpoint. Outcome: And I can't understand why this line was added.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Confusion about cookie authentication versus token authentication

INSTANCE_OFProblem

if I expose the Token in any kind of form to the frontend — creating an iFrame for my ChatBot. Tension: Anyone, a "Hacker", would then be able to identify as "Customer of User A". Outcome: This is sadly not possible under any circumstances, to allow such easy impersonation.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

it is also required to "forget" the token right after exiting/closing the app — I have a web API which uses JWT tokens for accessing resources. Tension: The issue with (1) is that it's not cleared when a browser's tab is closed but only when all the windows are. And (2) is not secure since if an attacker manages to inject a code into a client he will be able to extract the access token.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Need a standard way to tell which OAuth flow created an access token

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Invalid tokens are rejected. — the back uses its public key to verify the token was issued by itself. Tension: what is the point of ensuring the back was the legit issuer of the token? Outcome: it really doesn't serve any additional purpose here.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

refresh token can be stolen the same way as access token

INSTANCE_OFProblem

inspect their networking to view and copy such jwt token — download a legitimate app and inspect their networking. Tension: This jwt token can then be plugged in to any other app i.e a localhost server and combined with projectid etc... to perform requests that look legitimate.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

workspaceId claim won't be updated until the token has been refresh — put workspaceId in the jwt claims. Tension: the drawback of this solution. Outcome: another solution that is to implement a service that query data from workspace-service and use it to validate.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I'm logged out, this happens consistently. — After being logged out I can see in the network tab that a request to google's identitytoolkit, the payload is my idToken, and the response. Tension: is of status code 400 with the TOKEN_EXPIRED error. Outcome: Firebase Auth's persistence is configured.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Even though the user is already authenticated via Identity Aware Proxy (IAP) and has IAP cookies set, the code cannot obtain a Firebase user object to call getIdToken() without explicitly signing in again using email/password.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Spring Authorization Server persistently stores OAuth2Authorization objects that include both JWT access tokens and refresh tokens. The user questions why access token values need to be stored when JWTs are self-contained and should not require server lookups per request.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

there was ZERO documentation on generating an OAuth token that could be consumed by the Java SDK — authenticate against Azurite using OAuth tokens. Tension: Azurite will only generate user delegation keys when OAuth over HTTPS is enabled. Outcome: We needed to test our Azure code against something real, so we decided to use Azurite.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I am trying to get the OAuth2 client going for client credentials grant type. Tension: Consider defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager' in your configuration.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

MSAL access token is acquired, but a SOAP call still gets the MS login page

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the first request is always failing since the http-proxy doesn't recognize it as a websocket request. Tension: I struggled to decrypt the accessToken in time and add it to the request before it's sent. Outcome: for now it's not bothering me that much.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

The REST API requires an access token to call the change-profile (update profile) endpoint, but the token obtained on the login page is not available on the next page where updateProfile is called.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

after change password I'm unable to create access and refresh token using JWT — verifying the user OTP to change password.
