oidc-provider API documentation

oidc-provider allows to be extended and configured in various ways to fit a variety of use cases. You will have to configure your instance with how to find your user accounts, where to store and retrieve persisted data from and where your end-user interactions happen. The example application is a good starting point to get an idea of what you should provide.

⚠️⚠️ This page now describes oidc-provider version v7.x documentation. See here for v6.x.

Support

If you or your business use oidc-provider, or you need help using/upgrading the module, please consider becoming a sponsor so I can continue maintaining it and adding new features carefree. The only way to guarantee you get feedback from the author & sole maintainer of this module is to support the package through GitHub Sponsors. I make it a best effort to try and answer newcomers regardless of being a supporter or not, but if you're asking your n-th question and don't get an answer it's because I'm out of handouts and spare time to give.


Table of Contents

Basic configuration example

const { Provider } = require('oidc-provider');
const configuration = {
  // ... see the available options in Configuration options section
  clients: [{
    client_id: 'foo',
    client_secret: 'bar',
    redirect_uris: ['http://lvh.me:8080/cb'],
    // + other client properties
  }],
  // ...
};

const oidc = new Provider('http://localhost:3000', configuration);

// express/nodejs style application callback (req, res, next) for use with express apps, see /examples/express.js
oidc.callback()

// koa application for use with koa apps, see /examples/koa.js
oidc.app

// or just expose a server standalone, see /examples/standalone.js
const server = oidc.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('oidc-provider listening on port 3000, check http://localhost:3000/.well-known/openid-configuration');
});

Accounts

oidc-provider needs to be able to find an account and once found the account needs to have an accountId property as well as claims() function returning an object with claims that correspond to the claims your issuer supports. Tell oidc-provider how to find your account by an ID. #claims() can also return a Promise later resolved / rejected.

const oidc = new Provider('http://localhost:3000', {
  async findAccount(ctx, id) {
    return {
      accountId: id,
      async claims(use, scope) { return { sub: id }; },
    };
  }
});

User flows

Since oidc-provider only comes with feature-less views and interaction handlers it is up to you to fill those in, here is how oidc-provider allows you to do so:

When oidc-provider cannot fulfill the authorization request for any of the possible reasons (missing user session, requested ACR not fulfilled, prompt requested, ...) it will resolve the interactions.url helper function and redirect the User-Agent to that url. Before doing so it will save a short-lived "interaction session" and dump its identifier into a cookie scoped to the resolved interaction path.

This interaction session contains:

  • details of the interaction that is required
  • all authorization request parameters
  • current end-user session account ID should there be one
  • the url to redirect the user to once interaction is finished

oidc-provider expects that you resolve the prompt interaction and then redirect the User-Agent back with the results.

Once the required interactions are finished you are expected to redirect back to the authorization endpoint, affixed by the uid of the interaction session and the interaction results stored in the interaction session object.

The Provider instance comes with helpers that aid with getting interaction details as well as packing the results. See them used in the in-repo examples.

#provider.interactionDetails(req, res)

// with express
expressApp.get('/interaction/:uid', async (req, res) => {
  const details = await provider.interactionDetails(req, res);
  // ...
});

// with koa
router.get('/interaction/:uid', async (ctx, next) => {
  const details = await provider.interactionDetails(ctx.req, ctx.res);
  // ...
});

#provider.interactionFinished(req, res, result)

// with express
expressApp.post('/interaction/:uid/login', async (req, res) => {
  return provider.interactionFinished(req, res, result); // result object below
});

// with koa
router.post('/interaction/:uid', async (ctx, next) => {
  return provider.interactionFinished(ctx.req, ctx.res, result); // result object below
});

// result should be an object with some or all the following properties
{
  // authentication/login prompt got resolved, omit if no authentication happened, i.e. the user
  // cancelled
  login: {
    accountId: '7ff1d19a-d3fd-4863-978e-8cce75fa880c', // logged-in account id
    acr: string, // acr value for the authentication
    remember: boolean, // true if provider should use a persistent cookie rather than a session one, defaults to true
    ts: number, // unix timestamp of the authentication, defaults to now()
  },

  // consent was given by the user to the client for this session
  consent: {
    grantId: string, // the identifer of Grant object you saved during the interaction, resolved by Grant.prototype.save()
  },

  ['custom prompt name resolved']: {},
}

// optionally, interactions can be primaturely exited with a an error by providing a result
// object as follow:
{
  // an error field used as error code indicating a failure during the interaction
  error: 'access_denied',

  // an optional description for this error
  error_description: 'Insufficient permissions: scope out of reach for this Account',
}

#provider.interactionResult Unlike #provider.interactionFinished authorization request resume uri is returned instead of immediate http redirect.

// with express
expressApp.post('/interaction/:uid/login', async (req, res) => {
  const redirectTo = await provider.interactionResult(req, res, result);

  res.send({ redirectTo });
});

// with koa
router.post('/interaction/:uid', async (ctx, next) => {
  const redirectTo = await provider.interactionResult(ctx.req, ctx.res, result);

  ctx.body = { redirectTo };
});

Custom Grant Types

oidc-provider comes with the basic grants implemented, but you can register your own grant types, for example to implement an OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange. You can check the standard grant factories here.

const parameters = [
  'audience', 'resource', 'scope', 'requested_token_type',
  'subject_token', 'subject_token_type',
  'actor_token', 'actor_token_type'
];
const allowedDuplicateParameters = ['audience', 'resource'];
const grantType = 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange';

async function tokenExchangeHandler(ctx, next) {
  // ctx.oidc.params holds the parsed parameters
  // ctx.oidc.client has the authenticated client

  // your grant implementation
  // see /lib/actions/grants for references on how to instantiate and issue tokens
}

provider.registerGrantType(grantType, tokenExchangeHandler, parameters, allowedDuplicateParameters);

Registering module middlewares (helmet, ip-filters, rate-limiters, etc)

When using provider.app or provider.callback() as a mounted application in your own koa or express stack just follow the respective module's documentation. However, when using the provider.app Koa instance directly to register i.e. koa-helmet you must push the middleware in front of oidc-provider in the middleware stack.

const helmet = require('koa-helmet');

// Correct, pushes koa-helmet at the end of the middleware stack but BEFORE oidc-provider.
provider.use(helmet());

// Incorrect, pushes koa-helmet at the end of the middleware stack AFTER oidc-provider, not being
// executed when errors are encountered or during actions that do not "await next()".
provider.app.use(helmet());

Pre- and post-middlewares

You can push custom middleware to be executed before and after oidc-provider.

provider.use(async (ctx, next) => {
  /** pre-processing
   * you may target a specific action here by matching `ctx.path`
   */
  console.log('pre middleware', ctx.method, ctx.path);

  await next();
  /** post-processing
   * since internal route matching was already executed you may target a specific action here
   * checking `ctx.oidc.route`, the unique route names used are
   *
   * `authorization`
   * `backchannel_authentication`
   * `client_delete`
   * `client_update`
   * `client`
   * `code_verification`
   * `cors.device_authorization`
   * `cors.discovery`
   * `cors.introspection`
   * `cors.jwks`
   * `cors.pushed_authorization_request`
   * `cors.revocation`
   * `cors.token`
   * `cors.userinfo`
   * `device_authorization`
   * `device_resume`
   * `discovery`
   * `end_session_confirm`
   * `end_session_success`
   * `end_session`
   * `introspection`
   * `jwks`
   * `pushed_authorization_request`
   * `registration`
   * `resume`
   * `revocation`
   * `token`
   * `userinfo`
   */
   console.log('post middleware', ctx.method, ctx.oidc.route);
});

Mounting oidc-provider

The following snippets show how a provider instance can be mounted to existing applications with a path prefix /oidc.

Note: if you mount oidc-provider to a path it's likely you will have to also update the interactions.url configuration to reflect the new path.

to a connect application

// assumes connect ^3.0.0
connectApp.use('/oidc', oidc.callback());

to a fastify application

// assumes fastify ^3.0.0
await app.register(require('fastify-express'));
// or
// await app.register(require('middie'));

fastifyApp.use('/oidc', oidc.callback());

to a hapi application

// assumes @hapi/hapi ^20.0.0
const callback = oidc.callback();
hapiApp.route({
  path: `/oidc/{any*}`,
  method: '*',
  config: { payload: { output: 'stream', parse: false } },
  async handler({ raw: { req, res } }, h) {
    req.originalUrl = req.url;
    req.url = req.url.replace('/oidc', '');

    await new Promise((resolve) => {
      res.on('finish', resolve);
      callback(req, res);
    });

    req.url = req.url.replace('/', '/oidc');
    delete req.originalUrl;

    return res.finished ? h.abandon : h.continue;
  }
});

to a nest application

// assumes NestJS ^7.0.0
import { Controller, All, Req, Res } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Request, Response } from 'express';
const callback = oidc.callback();
@Controller('oidc')
export class OidcController {
  @All('/*')
  public mountedOidc(@Req() req: Request, @Res() res: Response): void {
    req.url = req.originalUrl.replace('/oidc', '');
    return callback(req, res);
  }
}

to an express application

// assumes express ^4.0.0
expressApp.use('/oidc', oidc.callback());

to a koa application

// assumes koa ^2.0.0
// assumes koa-mount ^4.0.0
const mount = require('koa-mount');
koaApp.use(mount('/oidc', oidc.app));

Note: when the issuer identifier does not include the path prefix you should take care of rewriting your ${root}/.well-known/openid-configuration to ${root}${prefix}/.well-known/openid-configuration so that your deployment remains conform to the Discovery 1.0 specification.

Trusting TLS offloading proxies

Having a TLS offloading proxy in front of Node.js running oidc-provider is the norm. To let your downstream application know of the original protocol and ip you have to tell your app to trust x-forwarded-proto and x-forwarded-for headers commonly set by those proxies (as with any express/koa application). This is needed for the provider responses to be correct (e.g. to have the right https URL endpoints and keeping the right (secure) protocol).

Depending on your setup you should do the following in your downstream application code

setup example
standalone oidc-provider provider.proxy = true
oidc-provider mounted to an express application provider.proxy = true
oidc-provider mounted to a connect application provider.proxy = true
oidc-provider mounted to a koa application yourKoaApp.proxy = true
oidc-provider mounted to a fastify application provider.proxy = true
oidc-provider mounted to a hapi application provider.proxy = true
oidc-provider mounted to a nest application provider.proxy = true

It is also necessary that the web server doing the offloading also passes those headers to the downstream application. Here is a common configuration for Nginx (assuming that the downstream application is listening on 127.0.0.1:8009). Your configuration may vary, please consult your web server documentation for details.

location / {
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8009;
  proxy_redirect off;
}

Configuration options

Table of Contents

❗ marks the configuration you most likely want to take a look at.

adapter

The provided example and any new instance of oidc-provider will use the basic in-memory adapter for storing issued tokens, codes, user sessions, dynamically registered clients, etc. This is fine as long as you develop, configure and generally just play around since every time you restart your process all information will be lost. As soon as you cannot live with this limitation you will be required to provide your own custom adapter constructor for oidc-provider to use. This constructor will be called for every model accessed the first time it is needed. The API oidc-provider expects is documented here.

See /lib/adapters/memory_adapter.js

clients

Array of objects representing client metadata. These clients are referred to as static, they don't expire, never reload, are always available. In addition to these clients the provider will use your adapter's find method when a non-static client_id is encountered. If you only wish to support statically configured clients and no dynamic registration then make it so that your adapter resolves client find calls with a falsy value (e.g. return Promise.resolve()) and don't take unnecessary DB trips.
Client's metadata is validated as defined by the respective specification they've been defined in.

default value:

[]

(Click to expand) Available Metadata

application_type, client_id, client_name, client_secret, client_uri, contacts, default_acr_values, default_max_age, grant_types, id_token_signed_response_alg, initiate_login_uri, jwks, jwks_uri, logo_uri, policy_uri, post_logout_redirect_uris, redirect_uris, require_auth_time, response_types, scope, sector_identifier_uri, subject_type, token_endpoint_auth_method, tos_uri, userinfo_signed_response_alg

The following metadata is available but may not be recognized depending on your provider's configuration.

authorization_encrypted_response_alg, authorization_encrypted_response_enc, authorization_signed_response_alg, backchannel_logout_session_required, backchannel_logout_uri, id_token_encrypted_response_alg, id_token_encrypted_response_enc, introspection_encrypted_response_alg, introspection_encrypted_response_enc, introspection_endpoint_auth_method, introspection_endpoint_auth_signing_alg, introspection_signed_response_alg, request_object_encryption_alg, request_object_encryption_enc, request_object_signing_alg, request_uris, revocation_endpoint_auth_method, revocation_endpoint_auth_signing_alg, tls_client_auth_san_dns, tls_client_auth_san_email, tls_client_auth_san_ip, tls_client_auth_san_uri, tls_client_auth_subject_dn, tls_client_certificate_bound_access_tokens, token_endpoint_auth_signing_alg, userinfo_encrypted_response_alg, userinfo_encrypted_response_enc, web_message_uris

findAccount

Function used to load an account and retrieve its available claims. The return value should be a Promise and #claims() can return a Promise too

default value:

async function findAccount(ctx, sub, token) {
  // @param ctx - koa request context
  // @param sub {string} - account identifier (subject)
  // @param token - is a reference to the token used for which a given account is being loaded,
  //   is undefined in scenarios where claims are returned from authorization endpoint
  return {
    accountId: sub,
    // @param use {string} - can either be "id_token" or "userinfo", depending on
    //   where the specific claims are intended to be put in
    // @param scope {string} - the intended scope, while oidc-provider will mask
    //   claims depending on the scope automatically you might want to skip
    //   loading some claims from external resources or through db projection etc. based on this
    //   detail or not return them in ID Tokens but only UserInfo and so on
    // @param claims {object} - the part of the claims authorization parameter for either
    //   "id_token" or "userinfo" (depends on the "use" param)
    // @param rejected {Array[String]} - claim names that were rejected by the end-user, you might
    //   want to skip loading some claims from external resources or through db projection
    async claims(use, scope, claims, rejected) {
      return { sub };
    },
  };
}

jwks

JSON Web Key Set used by the provider for signing and decryption. The object must be in JWK Set format. All provided keys must be private keys.

recommendation: Be sure to follow best practices for distributing private keying material and secrets for your respective target deployment environment. Supported key types are:

  • RSA
  • OKP (Ed25519, Ed448, X25519, X448 sub types)
  • EC (P-256, secp256k1, P-384, and P-521 curves) Provider key rotation** - The following action order is recommended when rotating signing keys on a distributed deployment with rolling reloads in place.
  1. push new keys at the very end of the "keys" array in your JWKS, this means the keys will become available for verification should they be encountered but not yet used for signing
  2. reload all your processes
  3. move your new key to the very front of the "keys" array in your JWKS, this means the key will be used for signing after reload
  4. reload all your processes

features

Enable/disable features. Some features are still either based on draft or experimental RFCs. Enabling those will produce a warning in your console and you must be aware that breaking changes may occur between draft implementations and that those will be published as minor versions of oidc-provider. See the example below on how to acknowledge the specification is a draft (this will remove the warning log) and ensure the provider instance will fail to instantiate if a new version of oidc-provider bundles newer version of the RFC with breaking changes in it.

default value:

{
  certificateAuthorized: [Function: certificateAuthorized], // see expanded details below
  certificateBoundAccessTokens: false,
  certificateSubjectMatches: [Function: certificateSubjectMatches], // see expanded details below

(Click to expand) features.mTLS options details

certificateAuthorized

Function used to determine if the client certificate, used in the request, is verified and comes from a trusted CA for the client. Should return true/false. Only used for tls_client_auth client authentication method.

(Click to expand) When behind a TLS terminating proxy (nginx/apache)

When behind a TLS terminating proxy it is common that this detail be passed to the application as a sanitized header. This returns the chosen header value provided by nginx's $ssl_client_verify or apache's %{SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY}s

function certificateAuthorized(ctx) {
  return ctx.get('x-ssl-client-verify') === 'SUCCESS';
}
(Click to expand) When using node's `https.createServer` 
function certificateAuthorized(ctx) {
  return ctx.socket.authorized;
}

certificateBoundAccessTokens

Enables section 3 & 4 Mutual TLS Client Certificate-Bound Tokens by exposing the client's tls_client_certificate_bound_access_tokens metadata property.

default value:

false

certificateSubjectMatches

Function used to determine if the client certificate, used in the request, subject matches the registered client property. Only used for tls_client_auth client authentication method.

(Click to expand) When behind a TLS terminating proxy (nginx/apache)

TLS terminating proxies can pass a header with the Subject DN pretty easily, for Nginx this would be $ssl_client_s_dn, for apache %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN}s.

function certificateSubjectMatches(ctx, property, expected) {
  switch (property) {
    case 'tls_client_auth_subject_dn':
      return ctx.get('x-ssl-client-s-dn') === expected;
    default:
      throw new Error(`${property} certificate subject matching not implemented`);
  }
}

getCertificate

Function used to retrieve the PEM-formatted client certificate used in the request.

(Click to expand) When behind a TLS terminating proxy (nginx/apache)

When behind a TLS terminating proxy it is common that the certificate be passed to the application as a sanitized header. This returns the chosen header value provided by nginx's $ssl_client_cert or apache's %{SSL_CLIENT_CERT}s

function getCertificate(ctx) {
  return ctx.get('x-ssl-client-cert');
}
(Click to expand) When using node's `https.createServer` 
function getCertificate(ctx) {
  const peerCertificate = ctx.socket.getPeerCertificate();
  if (peerCertificate.raw) {
    return `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n${peerCertificate.raw.toString('base64')}\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----`;
  }
}

features.pushedAuthorizationRequests

draft-ietf-oauth-par-08 - OAuth 2.0 Pushed Authorization Requests (PAR)

Enables the use of pushed_authorization_request_endpoint defined by the Pushed Authorization Requests draft.

recommendation: Updates to draft specification versions are released as MINOR library versions, if you utilize these specification implementations consider using the tilde ~ operator in your package.json since breaking changes may be introduced as part of these version updates. Alternatively, acknowledge the version and be notified of breaking changes as part of your CI.

default value:

{
  ack: undefined,
  enabled: false,

}
(Click to expand) features.pushedAuthorizationRequests options details

requirePushedAuthorizationRequests

Makes the use of PAR required for all authorization requests as an OP policy.

default value:

false

features.registration

Dynamic Client Registration 1.0

Enables Dynamic Client Registration.

default value:

{
  enabled: false,
  idFactory: [Function: idFactory], // see expanded details below
  initialAccessToken: false,
  issueRegistrationAccessToken: true,
  policies: undefined,
  secretFactory: [AsyncFunction: secretFactory] // see expanded details below
}
(Click to expand) features.registration options details

idFactory

Function used to generate random client identifiers during dynamic client registration

default value:

function idFactory(ctx) {
  return nanoid();
}

initialAccessToken

Enables registration_endpoint to check a valid initial access token is provided as a bearer token during the registration call. Supported types are

  • string the string value will be checked as a static initial access token
  • boolean true/false to enable/disable adapter backed initial access tokens

default value:

false

(Click to expand) To add an adapter backed initial access token and retrive its value


new (provider.InitialAccessToken)({}).save().then(console.log);

issueRegistrationAccessToken

Boolean or a function used to decide whether a registration access token will be issued or not. Supported values are

  • false registration access tokens is issued
  • true registration access tokens is not issued
  • function returning true/false, true when token should be issued, false when it shouldn't

default value:

true

(Click to expand) To determine if a registration access token should be issued dynamically


// @param ctx - koa request context
async issueRegistrationAccessToken(ctx) {
  return policyImplementation(ctx)
}

policies

define registration and registration management policies applied to client properties. Policies are sync/async functions that are assigned to an Initial Access Token that run before the regular client property validations are run. Multiple policies may be assigned to an Initial Access Token and by default the same policies will transfer over to the Registration Access Token. A policy may throw / reject and it may modify the properties object.

recommendation: referenced policies must always be present when encountered on a token, an AssertionError will be thrown inside the request context if it is not, resulting in a 500 Server Error. the same policies will be assigned to the Registration Access Token after a successful validation. If you wish to assign different policies to the Registration Access Token

// inside your final ran policy
ctx.oidc.entities.RegistrationAccessToken.policies = ['update-policy'];

default value:

undefined

(Click to expand) To define registration and registration management policies

To define policy functions configure features.registration to be an object like so:

{
  enabled: true,
  initialAccessToken: true, // to enable adapter-backed initial access tokens
  policies: {
    'my-policy': function (ctx, properties) {
      // @param ctx - koa request context
      // @param properties - the client properties which are about to be validated
      // example of setting a default
      if (!('client_name' in properties)) {
        properties.client_name = generateRandomClientName();
      }
      // example of forcing a value
      properties.userinfo_signed_response_alg = 'RS256';
      // example of throwing a validation error
      if (someCondition(ctx, properties)) {
        throw new Provider.errors.InvalidClientMetadata('validation error message');
      }
    },
    'my-policy-2': async function (ctx, properties) {},
  },
}

An Initial Access Token with those policies being executed (one by one in that order) is created like so

new (provider.InitialAccessToken)({ policies: ['my-policy', 'my-policy-2'] }).save().then(console.log);

secretFactory

Function used to generate random client secrets during dynamic client registration

default value:

async function secretFactory(ctx) {
  const bytes = Buffer.allocUnsafe(64);
  await randomFill(bytes);
  return base64url.encodeBuffer(bytes);
}

features.registrationManagement

default value:

{
  enabled: false,
  rotateRegistrationAccessToken: false
}
(Click to expand) features.registrationManagement options details

rotateRegistrationAccessToken

Enables registration access token rotation. The provider will discard the current Registration Access Token with a successful update and issue a new one, returning it to the client with the Registration Update Response. Supported values are

  • false registration access tokens are not rotated
  • true registration access tokens are rotated when used
  • function returning true/false, true when rotation should occur, false when it shouldn't

default value:

false

(Click to expand) function use


{
  features: {

      enabled: true,
      async rotateRegistrationAccessToken(ctx) {
        // return tokenRecentlyRotated(ctx.oidc.entities.RegistrationAccessToken);
        // or
        // return customClientBasedPolicy(ctx.oidc.entities.Client);
      }
    }
  }
}

features.requestObjects

Core 1.0 and JWT Secured Authorization Request (JAR) - Request Object

Enables the use and validations of the request and/or request_uri parameters.

default value:

{
  mode: 'lax',
  request: false,
  requestUri: true,
  requireSignedRequestObject: false,
  requireUriRegistration: true
}
(Click to expand) features.requestObjects options details

mode

defines the provider's strategy when it comes to using regular OAuth 2.0 parameters that are present. Parameters inside the Request Object are ALWAYS used, this option controls whether to combine those with the regular ones or not.
Supported values are:

  • 'lax' (default) This is the behaviour expected by OIDC Core 1.0 - all parameters that are not present in the Resource Object are used when resolving the authorization request.
  • 'strict' This is the behaviour expected by FAPI or JAR, all parameters outside of the Request Object are ignored. For FAPI and FAPI-CIBA this value is enforced.

default value:

'lax'

request

Enables the use and validations of the request parameter.

default value:

false

requestUri

Enables the use and validations of the request_uri parameter.

default value:

features.resourceIndicators

RFC8707 - Resource Indicators for OAuth 2.0

Enables the use of resource parameter for the authorization and token endpoints to enable issuing Access Tokens for Resource Servers (APIs).

  • Multiple resource parameters may be present during Authorization Code Flow, Device Authorization Grant, and Backchannel Authentication Requests, but only a single audience for an Access Token is permitted.
  • Authorization and Authentication Requests that result in an Access Token being issued by the Authorization Endpoint must only contain a single resource (or one must be resolved using the defaultResource helper).
  • Client Credentials grant must only contain a single resource parameter.
  • During Authorization Code / Refresh Token / Device Code / Backchannel Authentication Request exchanges, if the exchanged code/token does not include the 'openid' scope and only has a single resource then the resource parameter may be omitted - an Access Token for the single resource is returned.
  • During Authorization Code / Refresh Token / Device Code / Backchannel Authentication Request exchanges, if the exchanged code/token does not include the 'openid' scope and has multiple resources then the resource parameter must be provided (or one must be resolved using the defaultResource helper). An Access Token for the provided/resolved resource is returned.
  • (with userinfo endpoint enabled and useGrantedResource helper returning falsy) During Authorization Code / Refresh Token / Device Code exchanges, if the exchanged code/token includes the 'openid' scope and no resource parameter is present - an Access Token for the UserInfo Endpoint is returned.
  • (with userinfo endpoint enabled and useGrantedResource helper returning truthy) During Authorization Code / Refresh Token / Device Code exchanges, even if the exchanged code/token includes the 'openid' scope and only has a single resource then the resource parameter may be omitted - an Access Token for the single resource is returned.
  • (with userinfo endpoint disabled) During Authorization Code / Refresh Token / Device Code exchanges, if the exchanged code/token includes the 'openid' scope and only has a single resource then the resource parameter may be omitted - an Access Token for the single resource is returned.
  • Issued Access Tokens always only contain scopes that are defined on the respective Resource Server (returned from features.resourceIndicators.getResourceServerInfo).

default value:

{
  defaultResource: [AsyncFunction: defaultResource], // see expanded details below
  enabled: true,
  getResourceServerInfo: [AsyncFunction: getResourceServerInfo], // see expanded details below
  useGrantedResource: [AsyncFunction: useGrantedResource] // see expanded details below
}
(Click to expand) features.resourceIndicators options details

defaultResource

Function used to determine the default resource indicator for a request when none is provided by the client during the authorization request or when multiple are provided/resolved and only a single one is required during an Access Token Request.

default value:

async function defaultResource(ctx, client, oneOf) {
  // @param ctx - koa request context
  // @param client - client making the request
  // @param oneOf {string[]} - The OP needs to select **one** of the values provided.
  //                           Default is that the array is provided so that the request will fail.
  //                           This argument is only provided when called during
  //                           Authorization Code / Refresh Token / Device Code exchanges.
  if (oneOf) return oneOf;
  return undefined;
}

getResourceServerInfo

Function used to load information about a Resource Server (API) and check if the client is meant to request scopes for that particular resource.

recommendation: Only allow client's pre-registered resource values, to pre-register these you shall use the extraClientMetadata configuration option to define a custom metadata and use that to implement your policy using this function.

default value:

async function getResourceServerInfo(ctx, resourceIndicator, client) {
  // @param ctx - koa request context
  // @param resourceIndicator - resource indicator value either requested or resolved by the defaultResource helper.
  // @param client - client making the request
  throw new errors.InvalidTarget();

features.userinfo

Core 1.0 - UserInfo Endpoint

Enables the userinfo endpoint. Its use requires an opaque Access Token with at least openid scope that's without a Resource Server audience.

default value:

{
  enabled: true
}

acceptQueryParamAccessTokens

Several OAuth 2.0 / OIDC profiles prohibit the use of query strings to carry access tokens. This setting either allows (true) or prohibits (false) that mechanism to be used.

default value:

true

acrValues

Array of strings, the Authentication Context Class References that the OP supports.

default value:

[]

allowOmittingSingleRegisteredRedirectUri

Allow omitting the redirect_uri parameter when only a single one is registered for a client.

default value:

false

claims

Describes the claims that the OpenID Provider MAY be able to supply values for.
It is used to achieve two different things related to claims:

  • which additional claims are available to RPs (configure as { claimName: null })
  • which claims fall under what scope (configure { scopeName: ['claim', 'another-claim'] })

default value:

{
  acr: null,
  auth_time: null,
  iss: null,
  openid: [
    'sub'
  ],
  sid: null
}

(Click to expand) OpenID Connect 1.0 Standard Claims

See /recipes/claim_configuration.md

clientBasedCORS

Function used to check whether a given CORS request should be allowed based on the request's client.

default value:

function clientBasedCORS(ctx, origin, client) {
  return false;
}

(Click to expand) Client Metadata-based CORS Origin allow list

See /recipes/client_based_origins.md

clientDefaults

Default client metadata to be assigned when unspecified by the client metadata, e.g. During Dynamic Client Registration or for statically configured clients. The default value does not represent all default values, but merely copies its subset. You can provide any used client metadata property in this object.

default value:

{
  grant_types: [
    'authorization_code'
  ],
  id_token_signed_response_alg: 'RS256',
  response_types: [
    'code'
  ],
  token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_basic'
}

(Click to expand) Changing the default client token_endpoint_auth_method

To change the default client token_endpoint_auth_method configure clientDefaults to be an object like so:

{
  token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_post'
}
(Click to expand) Changing the default client response type to `code id_token`

To change the default client response_types configure clientDefaults to be an object like so:

{
  response_types: ['code id_token'],
  grant_types: ['authorization_code', 'implicit'],
}

clockTolerance

A Number value (in seconds) describing the allowed system clock skew for validating client-provided JWTs, e.g. Request Objects, DPoP Proofs and otherwise comparing timestamps

recommendation: Only set this to a reasonable value when needed to cover server-side client and oidc-provider server clock skew.

default value:

0

conformIdTokenClaims

ID Token only contains End-User claims when the requested response_type is id_token

Core 1.0 - Requesting Claims using Scope Values defines that claims requested using the scope parameter are only returned from the UserInfo Endpoint unless the response_type is id_token.
Despite of this configuration the ID Token always includes claims requested using the scope parameter when the userinfo endpoint is disabled, or when issuing an Access Token not applicable for access to the userinfo endpoint.

default value:

true

cookies

Options for the cookie module used to keep track of various User-Agent states. The options maxAge and expires are ignored. Use ttl.Session and ttl.Interaction to configure the ttl and in turn the cookie expiration values for Session and Interaction models.

cookies.keys

Keygrip Signing keys used for cookie signing to prevent tampering.

recommendation: Rotate regularly (by prepending new keys) with a reasonable interval and keep a reasonable history of keys to allow for returning user session cookies to still be valid and re-signed

default value:

[]

cookies.long

Options for long-term cookies

recommendation: set cookies.keys and cookies.long.signed = true

default value:

{
  httpOnly: true,
  overwrite: true,
  sameSite: 'none'
}

cookies.names

Cookie names used to store and transfer various states.

default value:

{
  interaction: '_interaction',
  resume: '_interaction_resume',
  session: '_session'
}

cookies.short

Options for short-term cookies

recommendation: set cookies.keys and cookies.short.signed = true

default value:

{
  httpOnly: true,
  overwrite: true,
  sameSite: 'lax'
}

discovery

Pass additional properties to this object to extend the discovery document

default value:

{
  claim_types_supported: [
    'normal'
  ],
  claims_locales_supported: undefined,
  display_values_supported: undefined,
  op_policy_uri: undefined,
  op_tos_uri: undefined,
  service_documentation: undefined,
  ui_locales_supported: undefined
}

expiresWithSession

Function used to decide whether the given authorization code/ device code or implicit returned access token be bound to the user session. This will be applied to all tokens issued from the authorization / device code in the future. When tokens are session-bound the session will be loaded by its uid every time the token is encountered. Session bound tokens will effectively get revoked if the end-user logs out.

default value:

async function expiresWithSession(ctx, token) {
  return !token.scopes.has('offline_access');
}

extraClientMetadata

Allows for custom client metadata to be defined, validated, manipulated as well as for existing property validations to be extended. Existing properties are snakeCased on a Client instance (e.g. client.redirectUris), new properties (defined by this configuration) will be avaialable with their names verbatim (e.g. client['urn:example:client:my-property'])

extraClientMetadata.properties

Array of property names that clients will be allowed to have defined.

default value:

[]

extraClientMetadata.validator

validator function that will be executed in order once for every property defined in extraClientMetadata.properties, regardless of its value or presence on the client metadata passed in. Must be synchronous, async validators or functions returning Promise will be rejected during runtime. To modify the current client metadata values (for current key or any other) just modify the passed in metadata argument.

default value:

function extraClientMetadataValidator(ctx, key, value, metadata) {
  // @param ctx - koa request context (only provided when a client is being constructed during
  //              Client Registration Request or Client Update Request
  // @param key - the client metadata property name
  // @param value - the property value
  // @param metadata - the current accumulated client metadata
  // @param ctx - koa request context (only provided when a client is being constructed during
  //              Client Registration Request or Client Update Request
  // validations for key, value, other related metadata
  // throw new Provider.errors.InvalidClientMetadata() to reject the client metadata
  // metadata[key] = value; to (re)assign metadata values
  // return not necessary, metadata is already a reference
}

extraParams

Pass an iterable object (i.e. Array or Set of strings) to extend the parameters recognised by the authorization, device authorization, and pushed authorization request endpoints. These parameters are then available in ctx.oidc.params as well as passed to interaction session details.

default value:

[]

extraTokenClaims

Function used to assign additional claims to an Access Token when it is being issued. For opaque Access Tokens these claims will be stored in your storage under the extra property and returned by introspection as top level claims. For jwt or paseto Access Tokens these will be top level claims. Returned claims will not overwrite pre-existing top level claims.

default value:

async function extraTokenClaims(ctx, token) {
  return undefined;
}

(Click to expand) To push additional claims to an Access Token


{
  extraTokenClaims(ctx, token) {
    return {
      'urn:oidc-provider:example:foo': 'bar',

  }
}

formats.bitsOfOpaqueRandomness

The value should be an integer (or a function returning an integer) and the resulting opaque token length is equal to Math.ceil(i / Math.log2(n)) where n is the number of symbols in the used alphabet, 64 in our case.

default value:

256

(Click to expand) To have e.g. Refresh Tokens values longer than Access Tokens.


function bitsOfOpaqueRandomness(ctx, token) {
  if (token.kind === 'RefreshToken') {
    return 384;
  }
  return 256;
}

formats.customizers

Customizer functions used before issuing a structured Access Token.

default value:

{
  jwt: undefined,
  paseto: undefined
}

(Click to expand) To push additional headers and payload claims to a jwt format Access Token


{
  customizers: {
    async jwt(ctx, token, jwt) {

      structuredToken.footer = { foo: 'bar' };
      structuredToken.assertion = 'foo'; // v3 and v4 tokens only
    }
  }
}

httpOptions

Function called whenever calls to an external HTTP(S) resource are being made. You can change the request timeout duration, the agent used as well as the lookup resolver function.

default value:

function httpOptions(url) {
  return {
    timeout: 2500,
    agent: undefined, // defaults to node's global agents (https.globalAgent or http.globalAgent)

   }
 }

interactions

Holds the configuration for interaction policy and url to send end-users to when the policy decides to require interaction.

(Click to expand) default interaction policy description

The default interaction policy consists of two available prompts, login and consent

  • login does the following checks:
  • no_session - checks that there's an established session, an authenticated end-user
  • max_age - processes the max_age parameter (when the session's auth_time is too old it requires login)
  • id_token_hint - processes the id_token_hint parameter (when the end-user sub differs it requires login)
  • claims_id_token_sub_value - processes the claims parameter sub (when the claims parameter requested sub differs it requires login)
  • essential_acrs - processes the claims parameter acr (when the current acr is not amongst the claims parameter essential acr.values it requires login)
  • essential_acr - processes the claims parameter acr (when the current acr is not equal to the claims parameter essential acr.value it requires login)

  • consent does the following checks:
  • native_client_prompt - native clients always require re-consent
  • op_scopes_missing - requires consent when the requested scope includes scope values previously not requested
  • op_claims_missing - requires consent when the requested claims parameter includes claims previously not requested
  • rs_scopes_missing - requires consent when the requested resource indicated scope values include scopes previously not requested

    These checks are the best practice for various privacy and security reasons.
(Click to expand) disabling default consent checks

You may be required to skip (silently accept) some of the consent checks, while it is discouraged there are valid reasons to do that, for instance in some first-party scenarios or going with pre-existing, previously granted, consents. To simply silenty "accept" first-party/resource indicated scopes or pre-agreed upon claims use the loadExistingGrant configuration helper function, in there you may just instantiate (and save!) a grant for the current clientId and accountId values.

(Click to expand) modifying the default interaction policy 
const { interactionPolicy: { Prompt, Check, base } } = require('oidc-provider');
const basePolicy = base()
// basePolicy.get(name) => returns a Prompt instance by its name
// basePolicy.remove(name) => removes a Prompt instance by its name
// basePolicy.add(prompt, index) => adds a Prompt instance to a specific index, default is add the prompt as the last one
// prompt.checks.get(reason) => returns a Check instance by its reason
// prompt.checks.remove(reason) => removes a Check instance by its reason
// prompt.checks.add(check, index) => adds a Check instance to a specific index, default is add the check as the last one

interactions.url

Function used to determine where to redirect User-Agent for necessary interaction, can return both absolute and relative urls.

default value:

async function interactionsUrl(ctx, interaction) {
  return `/interaction/${interaction.uid}`;
}

issueRefreshToken

Function used to decide whether a refresh token will be issued or not

default value:

async function issueRefreshToken(ctx, client, code) {
  return client.grantTypeAllowed('refresh_token') && code.scopes.has('offline_access');
}

(Click to expand) To always issue a refresh tokens ...

... If a client has the grant allowed and scope includes offline_access or the client is a public web client doing code flow. Configure issueRefreshToken like so

async issueRefreshToken(ctx, client, code) {

    return false;
  }
  return code.scopes.has('offline_access') || (client.applicationType === 'web' && client.tokenEndpointAuthMethod === 'none');
}

loadExistingGrant

Helper function used to load existing but also just in time pre-established Grants to attempt to resolve an Authorization Request with. Default: loads a grant based on the interaction result consent.grantId first, falls back to the existing grantId for the client in the current session.

default value:

async function loadExistingGrant(ctx) {
  const grantId = (ctx.oidc.result
    && ctx.oidc.result.consent
    && ctx.oidc.result.consent.grantId) || ctx.oidc.session.grantIdFor(ctx.oidc.client.clientId);
  if (grantId) {
    return ctx.oidc.provider.Grant.find(grantId);
  }
  return undefined;
}

pairwiseIdentifier

Function used by the OP when resolving pairwise ID Token and Userinfo sub claim values. See Core 1.0

recommendation: Since this might be called several times in one request with the same arguments consider using memoization or otherwise caching the result based on account and client ids.

default value:

async function pairwiseIdentifier(ctx, accountId, client) {
  return crypto.createHash('sha256')
    .update(client.sectorIdentifier)
    .update(accountId)
    .update(os.hostname()) // put your own unique salt here, or implement other mechanism
    .digest('hex');
}

pkce

RFC7636 - Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)

PKCE configuration such as available methods and policy check on required use of PKCE

pkce.methods

Fine-tune the supported code challenge methods. Supported values are

  • S256
  • plain

default value:

[
  'S256'
]

pkce.required

Configures if and when the OP requires clients to use PKCE. This helper is called whenever an authorization request lacks the code_challenge parameter. Return

  • false to allow the request to continue without PKCE
  • true to abort the request

default value:

function pkceRequired(ctx, client) {
  return true;
}

renderError

Function used to present errors to the User-Agent

default value:

async function renderError(ctx, out, error) {
  ctx.type = 'html';
  ctx.body = `<!DOCTYPE html>
    <head>
      <title>oops! something went wrong</title>
      <style>/* css and html classes omitted for brevity, see lib/helpers/defaults.js */</style>
    </head>
    <body>
      <div>
        <h1>oops! something went wrong</h1>
        ${Object.entries(out).map(([key, value]) => `<pre><strong>${key}</strong>: ${htmlSafe(value)}</pre>`).join('')}
      </div>
    </body>
    </html>`;
}

responseTypes

Array of response_type values that the OP supports. The default omits all response types that result in access tokens being issued by the authorization endpoint directly as per OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice You can still enable them if you need to.

default value:

[
  'code id_token',
  'code',
  'id_token',
  'none'
]

(Click to expand) Supported values list

These are values defined in Core 1.0 and OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type Encoding Practices

[
  'code',
  'id_token', 'id_token token',
  'code id_token', 'code token', 'code id_token token',
  'none',
]

revokeGrantPolicy

Function called in a number of different context to determine whether an underlying Grant entry should also be revoked or not.
contexts:

  • RP-Initiated Logout
  • Refresh Token Revocation
  • Authorization Code re-use
  • Device Code re-use
  • Backchannel Authentication Request re-use
  • Rotated Refresh Token re-use

default value:

function revokeGrantPolicy(ctx) {
  return true;
}

rotateRefreshToken

Configures if and how the OP rotates refresh tokens after they are used. Supported values are

  • false refresh tokens are not rotated and their initial expiration date is final
  • true refresh tokens are rotated when used, current token is marked as consumed and new one is issued with new TTL, when a consumed refresh token is encountered an error is returned instead and the whole token chain (grant) is revoked
  • function returning true/false, true when rotation should occur, false when it shouldn't



    The default configuration value puts forth a sensible refresh token rotation policy
  • only allows refresh tokens to be rotated (have their TTL prolonged by issuing a new one) for one year
  • otherwise always rotate public client tokens that are not sender-constrained
  • otherwise only rotate tokens if they're being used close to their expiration (>= 70% TTL passed)

default value:

function rotateRefreshToken(ctx) {
  const { RefreshToken: refreshToken, Client: client } = ctx.oidc.entities;

routes

Routing values used by the OP. Only provide routes starting with "/"

default value:

{
  authorization: '/auth',
  backchannel_authentication: '/backchannel',
  code_verification: '/device',
  device_authorization: '/device/auth',

  registration: '/reg',
  revocation: '/token/revocation',
  token: '/token',
  userinfo: '/me'
}

scopes

Array of additional scope values that the OP signals to support in the discovery endpoint. Only add scopes the OP has a corresponding resource for. Resource Server scopes don't belong here, see features.resourceIndicators for configuring those.

default value:

[
  'openid',
  'offline_access'
]

sectorIdentifierUriValidate

Function called to make a decision about whether sectorIdentifierUri of a client being loaded, registered, or updated should be fetched and its contents validated against the client metadata.

default value:

function sectorIdentifierUriValidate(client) {
  // @param client - the Client instance
  return true;
}

subjectTypes

Array of the Subject Identifier types that this OP supports. When only pairwise is supported it becomes the default subject_type client metadata value. Valid types are

  • public
  • pairwise

default value:

[
  'public'
]

tokenEndpointAuthMethods

Array of Client Authentication methods supported by this OP's Token Endpoint

default value:

[
  'client_secret_basic',
  'client_secret_jwt',
  'client_secret_post',
  'private_key_jwt',
  'none'

ttl

description: Expirations for various token and session types. The value can be a number (in seconds) or a synchronous function that dynamically returns value based on the context.

recommendation: Do not set token TTLs longer then they absolutely have to be, the shorter the TTL, the better. Rather than setting crazy high Refresh Token TTL look into rotateRefreshToken configuration option which is set up in way that when refresh tokens are regularly used they will have their TTL refreshed (via rotation). This is inline with the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice

default value:

{
  AccessToken: function AccessTokenTTL(ctx, token, client) {
    if (token.resourceServer) {
      return token.resourceServer.accessTokenTTL || 60 * 60; // 1 hour in seconds
    }
    return 60 * 60; // 1 hour in seconds
  },

    if (ctx && ctx.oidc && ctx.oidc.params.requested_expiry) {
      return Math.min(10 * 60, +ctx.oidc.params.requested_expiry); // 10 minutes in seconds or requested_expiry, whichever is shorter
    }
  
    return 10 * 60; // 10 minutes in seconds
  },
  ClientCredentials: function ClientCredentialsTTL(ctx, token, client) {
    if (token.resourceServer) {
      return token.resourceServer.accessTokenTTL || 10 * 60; // 10 minutes in seconds
    }
    return 10 * 60; // 10 minutes in seconds
  },
  DeviceCode: 600 /* 10 minutes in seconds */,
  Grant: 1209600 /* 14 days in seconds */,
  IdToken: 3600 /* 1 hour in seconds */,
  Interaction: 3600 /* 1 hour in seconds */,
  RefreshToken: function RefreshTokenTTL(ctx, token, client) {
    if (
      ctx && ctx.oidc.entities.RotatedRefreshToken
      && client.applicationType === 'web'
      && client.tokenEndpointAuthMethod === 'none'
      && !token.isSenderConstrained()
    ) {
      // Non-Sender Constrained SPA RefreshTokens do not have infinite expiration through rotation
      return ctx.oidc.entities.RotatedRefreshToken.remainingTTL;
    }
  
    return 14 * 24 * 60 * 60; // 14 days in seconds
  },
  Session: 1209600 /* 14 days in seconds */
}

(Click to expand) To resolve a ttl on runtime for each new token

Configure ttl for a given token type with a function like so, this must return a value, not a Promise.

{
  ttl: {
    AccessToken(ctx, token, client) {
      // return a Number (in seconds) for the given token (first argument), the associated client is
      // passed as a second argument
      // Tip: if the values are entirely client based memoize the results
      return resolveTTLfor(token, client);
    },
  },
}

Fine-tune the algorithms your provider will support by declaring algorithm values for each respective JWA use

recommendation: Only allow JWA algs that are necessary. The current defaults are based on recommendations from the JWA specification + enables RSASSA-PSS based on current guidance in FAPI. "none" JWT algs are disabled by default but available if you need them.

FAQ

ID Token does not include claims other than sub

Only response types that do not end up with an access_token (so, response_type=id_token) have end-user claims other than sub in their ID Tokens. This is the Core 1.0 spec behaviour. Read it you'll see requesting claims through the scope parameter only adds these claims to userinfo unless the response_type is id_token in which case they're added there. All other response types have access to the userinfo endpoint which returns these scope-requested claims. The other option is to allow clients to request specific claims from a source they expect it in via the claims parameter.

But, if you absolutely need to have scope-requested claims in ID Tokens you can use the conformIdTokenClaims configuration option.

Why does my .well-known/openid-configuration link to http endpoints instead of https endpoints?

Your provider is behind a TLS terminating proxy, tell your provider instance to trust the proxy headers. More on this in Trusting TLS offloading proxies

My client_secret with special characters is not working

You're likely using client_secret_basic client authentication and the oidc-provider is actually exhibiting conform behaviour. It's likely a bug in your client software - it's not encoding the header correctly.

client_secret_basic is not 100% basic http auth, the username and password tokens are supposed to be additionally formencoded.

A proper way of submitting client_id and client_secret using client_secret_basic is Authorization: base64(formEncode(client_id):formEncode(client_secret)) as per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-2.3.1 incl. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#appendix-B

Example:

const client_id = 'an:identifier';
const client_secret = 'some secure & non-standard secret';

// After formencoding these two tokens
const encoded_id = 'an%3Aidentifier';
const encoded_secret = 'some+secure+%26+non-standard+secret';

// Basic auth header format Authorization: Basic base64(encoded_id + ':' + encoded_secret)
// Authorization: Basic YW4lM0FpZGVudGlmaWVyOnNvbWUrc2VjdXJlKyUyNitub24tc3RhbmRhcmQrc2VjcmV0

So essentially, your client is not submitting the client auth in a conform way and you should fix that.

I'm getting a client authentication failed error with no details

Every client is configured with one of 7 available token_endpoint_auth_method values and it must adhere to how that given method must be submitted. Submitting multiple means of authentication is also not possible. If you're a provider operator you're encouraged to set up listeners for errors (see events.md) and deliver them to client developers out-of-band, e.g. by logs in an admin interface.

function handleClientAuthErrors({ headers: { authorization }, oidc: { body, client } }, err) {
  if (err.statusCode === 401 && err.message === 'invalid_client') {
    // console.log(err);
    // save error details out-of-bands for the client developers, `authorization`, `body`, `client`
    // are just some details available, you can dig in ctx object for more.
  }
}
provider.on('grant.error', handleClientAuthErrors);
provider.on('introspection.error', handleClientAuthErrors);
provider.on('revocation.error', handleClientAuthErrors);

Refresh Tokens

I'm not getting refresh_token from token_endpoint grant_type=authorization_code responses, why?

Do you support offline_access scope and consent prompt? Did the client request them in the authentication request?

Yeah, still no refresh_token

Does the client have grant_type=refresh_token configured?

Aaaah, that was it. (or one of the above if you follow Core 1.0#OfflineAccess)

The Authorization Server MAY grant Refresh Tokens in other contexts that are beyond the scope of this specification. How about that?

Yeah, yeah, see configuration

Password Grant Type, ROPC

If you need it today something's wrong!

ROPC falls beyond the scope of what the library can do magically on it's own having only accountId and the claims, it does not ask for an interface necessary to find an account by a username nor by validating the password digest. Custom implementation using the provided registerGrantType API is simple enough if you absolutely need ROPC.

How to display, on the website of the OP itself, if the user is signed-in or not

const ctx = provider.app.createContext(req, res)
const session = await provider.Session.get(ctx)
const signedIn = !!session.accountId

Client Credentials only clients

You're getting the redirect_uris is mandatory property error but Client Credential clients don't need redirect_uris or response_types... You're getting this error because they are required properties, but they can be empty...

Resource Server only clients (e.g. for token introspection)
