fix(auth): adapt SSO callbacks and cookies to browser entry - #212
An administrator can bind an external account but fail to enable HTTPS SSO unless VOCAT_SECURE_COOKIES=true is set. That global override can then prevent a separate LAN HTTP entry from retaining its session.
This PR lets one saved provider configuration and account binding serve the configured HTTPS public origin alongside localhost, loopback, and literal private-IP entries. Each sign-in uses the entry that started its authorization flow, without changing the saved configuration or rebinding the account. Local-password clients remain independent of SSO settings, and HTTPS password sign-in behind TLS termination receives Secure cookies without enabling global proxy-header trust.
Scope
Select and freeze the browser entry's callback URL in each authorization flow, reuse it for token exchange, and reject callbacks arriving through a different entry before consuming one-use state.
Permit HTTP callback origins for localhost, loopback, and literal private IPs. Continue rejecting public HTTP origins and unconfigured public Host values.
Issue SSO credential cookies from the flow's callback scheme and apply the global force-Secure override to authorization-flow cookies as well, including deletion. Preserve Strict main cookies and Lax authorization cookies.
Keep password-session Cookie policy independent of saved SSO configuration. Use same-authority HTTPS Origin/Referer information only to upgrade Cookie protection behind TLS termination; these hints do not authorize requests, alter source-network access, or choose callbacks.
Persist each session's Secure-cookie requirement at sign-in and only upgrade it afterward, saving any upgrade before CSRF rotation so a policy-write failure leaves existing credentials intact. Missing or stale CSRF cookies retain this requirement when replaced without transport or browser scheme hints, including after application restarts.
Add English/Chinese Client ID placeholders and update origin validation, configuration guidance, and browser coverage. Callback previews use the browser-normalized IPv6 Host spelling and accept IPv4-mapped loopback and private IPv6 forms consistently with browser-entry callbacks.
Compatibility and configuration
Register each complete callback URL with the identity provider; automatic entry selection does not bypass its redirect-URI policy. IPv6 public origins use browser-normalized host spelling, including IPv4-mapped addresses; existing expanded IPv6 settings remain usable, and identity providers must allow the normalized callback. Private HTTP entries do not provide transport encryption. Reverse proxies must preserve Host, and a proxy that removes all browser and transport scheme information must explicitly provide a trusted HTTPS signal.
VOCAT_SECURE_COOKIES=true remains an explicit global force-Secure override. Mixed HTTPS/HTTP deployments should remove that override to use automatic selection. Existing password-and-Cookie API clients, Bearer API clients, and MCP retain their authentication boundaries. An additive schema-30 migration stores the cookie policy and preserves existing sessions, account bindings, and API tokens. Legacy sessions retain their previous compatibility; their earlier transport cannot be inferred, so existing HTTPS sessions must sign in again or refresh with a recognized HTTPS signal to persist the requirement.
Relationship to the SSO series
Follow-up to #208 and #210. Current upstream master at 384a447 (#211) is merged, including its JOSE, JWKS, and redirect security fixes. The review diff extends the existing SSO implementation.
The browser-entry implementation and Client ID placeholder remain separate commits. The password-proxy Cookie protection is an additional security fix.
Validation
On macOS arm64 with Go 1.27.3 and Node.js 24:
Frontend: 42 unit tests and the TypeScript/Vite production build passed.
The complete go test ./... suite (30 packages with tests) and go vet ./... passed.
The full auth/store/server/SSO race suite passed after the upstream merge; targeted password Cookie, browser-hint, Bearer, and SSO-entry race tests passed after the TLS-termination fix. The review follow-up additionally passed targeted Cookie replacement, persistence, database-upgrade, HTTP-client compatibility, Bearer, and SSO-entry race checks.
All 10 Chromium E2E cases passed. HTTPS application requests simulate TLS termination with proxy-header trust disabled. Coverage includes SSO and password login, callback origin checks, session recovery, first CSRF writes, logout, a no-referrer refresh after deleting the CSRF Cookie, and rejection of the Secure password session over HTTP.
Same-authority HTTPS SSO drafts followed by HTTP password login/session/write/logout passed for private-IP and public-host clients. A 15-case Bearer read/write, read-only, and invalid-token matrix passed.
SQLite failure-injection tests cover policy-write errors and not-found responses before CSRF rotation, preserve prior credentials, and recover on retry. Browser tests verify normalized IPv6 callback display and clipboard contents.
IPv6 public-origin regression tests cover expanded legacy configurations, browser-normalized callback start and login, IPv4-mapped addresses, and rejection of other public hosts and ports. HTTP loopback IPv6 completes the SSO flow. Cookie failure tests also check the 401 session-cookie expiry.
git diff --check passed.
Before the session-persistence follow-up, a locally cross-compiled Linux amd64 test build was deployed to Debian with go-jose v4.1.7. Real Pocket ID sign-in, session checks, and subsequent CSRF-protected writes passed through the HTTPS domain, LAN private-IP HTTP, and loopback HTTP entries while retaining the saved configuration and binding. The loopback case used a temporary local forward, stopped after testing. Password-proxy security was verified in the isolated browser fixture rather than by using the production administrator password.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
SSO supports one saved provider across a public HTTPS address and eligible local or private-network addresses. Each entry uses its own callback URL, and callbacks from a different entry are rejected.
Session cookies adapt to connection security, with an optional global setting to force Secure cookies. IPv6 callback addresses are normalized.
SSO setup guidance covers callback registration for domain and local addresses. The settings form adds callback guidance and a Client ID placeholder.
Bug Fixes
Saving an HTTPS SSO configuration no longer changes password-login cookie behavior for HTTP connections.
SSO supports entry-specific callbacks for configured HTTPS origins and eligible local or private HTTP origins. Sessions persist a Secure-cookie policy selected from request and SSO flow information. Session refresh can upgrade that policy, and cookie issuance and clearing use request-specific transport information.

Origin validation and flow contracts internal/sso/config.go, internal/sso/service.go, web/src/lib/sso.ts, web/test/ssoSettingsModel.test.mjs
Public-origin validation permits HTTP for localhost, loopback, and literal private IPs. SSO starts and verification use the selected origin. Browser callback previews accept additional local and private HTTP origins and canonicalize IPv6 host spelling.
Entry-specific SSO starts and callbacks internal/server/sso_auth.go, internal/server/sso_settings.go, internal/server/sso_auth_test.go, internal/server/sso_entries_test.go, internal/server/cookie_client_compat_test.go
SSO starts resolve the request origin, and callbacks must match the origin recorded in the flow. HTTPS SSO settings can be saved without the global Secure-cookie override. Tests cover entry-specific SSO flows and password and bearer access across entries.
The session schema adds a secure_cookies flag. Session creation and SSO finalization persist it, session lookup returns it, and active sessions can be upgraded to require Secure cookies.
Cookie policy uses TLS, trusted forwarded HTTPS, matching browser hints, and SSO origin resolution. Authentication handlers apply request-specific policy when issuing, refreshing, or clearing cookies.

The e2e fixture and tests cover HTTP, HTTPS, and proxied access. Settings guidance and documentation describe callback registration and cookie behavior across entries.

Do not issue a non-Secure CSRF cookie for an HTTPS password session.
When a password-session refresh has no TLS, forwarded HTTPS, or Origin/Referer signal and no CSRF cookie, handleSession issues the replacement with Secure: s.secureCookies. The browser may then send that cookie over HTTP. The server cannot read the session cookie's Secure attribute, so a fix needs a design choice.

Assert that the 401 refresh expires the session cookie.
In the session not found subcase, the 401 response expires vocat_session. The retry sends the saved session cookie, so it checks server-side state only. It does not check browser recovery. The failed-refresh loop also never checks sessionCookieName, so a 401 that omits the session cookie passes.
Add an expiry check to the 401 branch:
Suggested test assertion
for _, c := range w.Result().Cookies() {
if c.Name == csrfCookieName && c.MaxAge >= 0 {
t.Fatal("failed refresh issued a new CSRF cookie")
}
}
+ if tc.status == http.StatusUnauthorized {+ var expired *http.Cookie+ for _, c := range w.Result().Cookies() {+ if c.Name == sessionCookieName {+ expired = c+ }+ }+ if expired == nil || expired.MaxAge >= 0 {+ t.Fatal("unauthorized refresh did not expire the session cookie")+ }+ }
Do not apply the 401 Set-Cookie headers before the retry. The retry's StatusOK assertion depends on the saved session cookie, so that change would fail the test.
Also narrow the leading comment. It should state that the retry verifies server-side credential retention with the saved session cookie. It should also state that browser recovery after a 401 is not covered by this test.

Problem and behavior
An administrator can bind an external account but fail to enable HTTPS SSO unless
VOCAT_SECURE_COOKIES=trueis set. That global override can then prevent a separate LAN HTTP entry from retaining its session.This PR lets one saved provider configuration and account binding serve the configured HTTPS public origin alongside localhost, loopback, and literal private-IP entries. Each sign-in uses the entry that started its authorization flow, without changing the saved configuration or rebinding the account. Local-password clients remain independent of SSO settings, and HTTPS password sign-in behind TLS termination receives Secure cookies without enabling global proxy-header trust.
Scope
Compatibility and configuration
Register each complete callback URL with the identity provider; automatic entry selection does not bypass its redirect-URI policy. IPv6 public origins use browser-normalized host spelling, including IPv4-mapped addresses; existing expanded IPv6 settings remain usable, and identity providers must allow the normalized callback. Private HTTP entries do not provide transport encryption. Reverse proxies must preserve Host, and a proxy that removes all browser and transport scheme information must explicitly provide a trusted HTTPS signal.
VOCAT_SECURE_COOKIES=trueremains an explicit global force-Secure override. Mixed HTTPS/HTTP deployments should remove that override to use automatic selection. Existing password-and-Cookie API clients, Bearer API clients, and MCP retain their authentication boundaries. An additive schema-30 migration stores the cookie policy and preserves existing sessions, account bindings, and API tokens. Legacy sessions retain their previous compatibility; their earlier transport cannot be inferred, so existing HTTPS sessions must sign in again or refresh with a recognized HTTPS signal to persist the requirement.Relationship to the SSO series
Follow-up to #208 and #210. Current upstream
masterat384a447(#211) is merged, including its JOSE, JWKS, and redirect security fixes. The review diff extends the existing SSO implementation.The browser-entry implementation and Client ID placeholder remain separate commits. The password-proxy Cookie protection is an additional security fix.
Validation
On macOS arm64 with Go 1.27.3 and Node.js 24:
go test ./...suite (30 packages with tests) andgo vet ./...passed.git diff --checkpassed.Before the session-persistence follow-up, a locally cross-compiled Linux amd64 test build was deployed to Debian with go-jose v4.1.7. Real Pocket ID sign-in, session checks, and subsequent CSRF-protected writes passed through the HTTPS domain, LAN private-IP HTTP, and loopback HTTP entries while retaining the saved configuration and binding. The loopback case used a temporary local forward, stopped after testing. Password-proxy security was verified in the isolated browser fixture rather than by using the production administrator password.
