QUESTION

How create RewriteRule to work with both main and subdomain?

Asked 2021-Oct-28 at 07:02

My server has IPv6 address, but as IPv6 does not work properly in some networks, I have created a sub-domain, which has only IPv4 address, and it points to the same IP as my server. This all is to serve my Nextcloud installation.

On the server, both names (server.org and subdomain.server.org) are served from the same directory tree. Both of them work fine, except for RewriteRules.

I have RewriteRules on .htaccess to handle .well-known/carddav etc things, and those rules work fine on my main domain, but not for the subdomain. Here is the .htaccess file:

MrWhite's comment had clue to the answer.

About .htaccess overrides, the line "AllowOverride All" was only on main domain's conf file. When I added it also to subdomain's conf file, RewriteRules started working. Thank you!

QUESTION

How can I discover the issuer of an opaque access token?

Asked 2021-Jun-02 at 11:55

I'm using OpenID Connect to control access to my REST API. One of the things I need to do when servicing a request is get the OIDC UserInfo based on the access token in request's Authorization: Bearer ... header.

To this point I've been working with JWTs and this works fine. I'm looking at expanding this to work with opaque tokens as well.

My strategy has been based on my understanding of the OpenID Connect Discovery spec, section 4:

Extract the iss from the access token.
Discover the userinfo endpoint by getting ${iss}/.well-known/openid-configuration and querying the JSON for userinfo_endpoint.
HTTP GET the userinfo_endpoint, passing the access token as an Authorization: Bearer ... header.

This works fine for opaque tokens... except for step 1. Currently, I have to know who the issuer is via an out-of-band mechanism because I don't know how to get the issuer from the opaque token (which, to be honest, makes sense given that it's opaque). I see a few possibilities:

Maybe I'm just supposed to know who issued it and my question is misguided.
Maybe the best thing to do is try a list of known issuers and see if one of them works.
Maybe there's a mechanism for discovering the issuer of the opaque token. (The spec refers to WebFinger, but that doesn't seem like it fits my use case.)
Maybe there's something I haven't considered...

Thanks all for any help.

The standard mechanism for dealing with opaque tokens is via introspection. Also the preferred option is for there to only be a single type of access token - issued by your Authorization Server (AS), which sits alongside your APIs.

The introspection result can be a claims payload or a JWT. It is common to plug in an API gateway, as in this article, so that the gateway makes the actual introspection call. The gateway should then cache results for subsequent calls made with the same access token.

An opaque token is typically a GUID or something similar, and the issuer value is not stored in the token - it is instead stored in the issuing Authorization Server's back end state. The only way to determine the issuer is to try to introspect the token.

FOREIGN ACCESS TOKENS

Aim to avoid using foreign access tokens in your APIs as in the following examples. This can make it difficult to control data added to tokens and token lifetimes:

User signs in with Google - then API uses Google access tokens
User signs in with Microsoft - then API uses Microsoft access tokens

It is preferred instead to use 'federated login capabilities' of your Authorization Server, leading to the following cleaner result, and fewer issues:

User signs in with Google - then API uses your AS access tokens
User signs in with Microsoft - then API uses your AS access tokens

HTTPretty uses a thread to simulate socket timeouts but are not handling exceptions correctly, see issue #334. The latter proposes a method for handling exceptions, but that hasn't been picked up by the maintainers (yet).

However, the message you see is printed by the default threading.excepthook() implementation. You can set your own hook; a no-op lambda would silence the errors:

I solved the issue by re-uploading the configuration file via ftp, pasting it in nano on the ssh shell was a bad idea!
