Reorganize the authentication and authorization code into a cleaner,
more maintainable package structure with better separation of concerns.

Key changes:

  • Extract OIDC discovery into dedicated pkg/auth/oidc package
  • Split token validation and introspection into pkg/auth/token with
    provider pattern for different introspection endpoints
  • Move HTTP middleware to pkg/auth/middleware package
  • Extract PKCE generation into separate file in oauth package
  • Consolidate RFC 9728 resource metadata handling
  • Add backward compatibility layer in pkg/auth/compat.go

The refactoring reduces code duplication, improves testability, and
maintains full backward compatibility through deprecated type aliases
and wrapper functions.

Net reduction: 3,394 lines of code (-65% in modified files)

Line 54 uses jwksURL as the authorization server, but this should typically be the issuer URL, not the JWKS URL. The JWKS URL is for key verification, while the authorization server is the OAuth issuer.

Using JWKS URL as the realm is incorrect. The realm should typically be the issuer or a human-readable identifier, not the JWKS endpoint URL.

Suggested change
parts = append(parts, fmt.Sprintf(`realm="%s"`, escapeQuotes(validator.JWKSURL())))
parts = append(parts, fmt.Sprintf(`realm="%s"`, escapeQuotes(validator.Issuer())))

Authentication Refactoring PR Review

I've completed a comprehensive review of this authentication refactoring. This is an excellent example of package reorganization that significantly improves code maintainability while preserving backward compatibility.

Strengths

1. Excellent Package Organization

  • Clear separation of concerns: OIDC discovery, token validation, and middleware are now properly isolated
  • Logical package structure:
    • pkg/auth/oidc for OpenID Connect discovery
    • pkg/auth/token for token validation with provider pattern
    • pkg/auth/middleware for HTTP middleware
  • Provider pattern implementation: Clean abstraction for different token introspection endpoints (Google, RFC 7662)

2. Backward Compatibility Excellence

  • Complete compatibility layer in pkg/auth/compat.go with proper deprecation notices
  • Type aliases maintain API compatibility without breaking existing code
  • Wrapper functions preserve original function signatures
  • Gradual migration path allows consumers to migrate at their own pace

3. Code Quality Improvements

  • Significant code reduction: 3,394 fewer lines (-65% in modified files)
  • Better testability: Each package can be tested in isolation
  • Reduced duplication: Common functionality consolidated
  • Improved error handling: Cleaner error propagation through layers

4. Security Considerations

  • DoS protection: Response size limits (64KB) in introspection providers pkg/auth/token/providers/*:85,101
  • HTTPS enforcement: Proper validation for non-localhost endpoints pkg/auth/oidc/discovery.go:83-85
  • Input validation: Proper URL validation and parsing
  • Timeout controls: Reasonable timeouts for HTTP operations

⚠️ Issues to Address

1. Critical: Incorrect WWW-Authenticate Headers

Problem: Both existing review comments are correct and critical:

In pkg/auth/middleware/auth.go:59:

parts = append(parts, fmt.Sprintf(`realm="%s"`, escapeQuotes(validator.JWKSURL())))

🚨 Issue: Using JWKS URL as realm is incorrect per RFC 6750. The realm should be the issuer or a human-readable identifier.

In pkg/auth/middleware/handlers.go:54:

AuthorizationServers: []string{jwksURL}, // Use JWKS URL as the authorization server

🚨 Issue: JWKS URL is for key verification, not the authorization server endpoint.

Recommended fixes:

// In auth.go - use issuer as realm
parts = append(parts, fmt.Sprintf(`realm="%s"`, escapeQuotes(validator.Issuer())))

// In handlers.go - use actual issuer 
AuthorizationServers: []string{issuer}, // Use actual issuer, not JWKS URL

2. Low Test Coverage (25.15%)

Key missing coverage areas:

  • pkg/auth/token/validator.go: 179 missing lines (0% coverage)
  • pkg/auth/token/providers/google.go: 112 missing lines (0% coverage)
  • pkg/auth/token/providers/rfc7662.go: 67 missing lines (0% coverage)
  • pkg/auth/middleware/auth.go: 63 missing lines (0% coverage)

Impact: Critical authentication paths are untested, creating security risks.

💡 Minor Improvements

1. Error Handling Enhancement

In pkg/auth/token/validator.go:298-310, consider more specific error messages for malformed vs expired tokens.

2. HTTP Client Configuration

The HTTP client setup in validator creation could be extracted to a builder pattern for better testability.

3. Introspector Registry

Consider adding validation that at least one introspector is registered when introspection URL is provided.

📋 Recommendations

Immediate (Must Fix)

  1. Fix WWW-Authenticate headers - Use issuer instead of JWKS URL for realm and authorization servers
  2. Add comprehensive tests - Especially for the critical token validation paths

Nice to Have

  1. Add integration tests for the provider pattern
  2. Consider adding metrics/telemetry for authentication attempts
  3. Document migration guide for the deprecated APIs

🎯 Overall Assessment

This is a high-quality refactoring that significantly improves the codebase architecture. The backward compatibility approach is exemplary, and the separation of concerns is well-executed. The main concerns are:

  1. Security-critical WWW-Authenticate header bugs that must be fixed
  2. Low test coverage in authentication-critical code paths

With these issues addressed, this refactoring will be an excellent improvement to the codebase maintainability and extensibility.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve after fixing WWW-Authenticate headers and improving test coverage
