Purpose

Two changes on the API Portal that support Platform API's outbound publish path and align existing IDP-login handling with the JWKS URL the deployment is already configured with.

  1. Platform API needs a service identity when it publishes APIs, MCP servers, their content, and subscription plans to this portal. Reusing dp_admin would grant it far more than it needs (organization settings, applications, subscriptions, webhooks, key managers). A narrower service role scoped to just the artifacts Platform API produces keeps the grant surface small.
  2. The passport-oauth2 login callback was calling safeDecodeJwt on the id_token and access_token — a plain base64 decode, no JWKS verification. The rest of the auth stack (authMiddleware.js, tokenUtil.js) already verifies bearer tokens against config.auth.idp.jwksUrl. This PR wires the login callback to that same URL so signature / iss / aud / exp checks apply at login too.

Goals

  • Introduce a platform-api-system role in role-to-scope-mapping.yaml with the five dp:*:manage scopes Platform API needs to publish content into the portal.
  • Replace safeDecodeJwt in the passport-oauth2 verify callback with jose.jwtVerify against the JWKS URL already configured for the IDP.
  • Update the two role-count assertions in the config test suite that hard-coded 4 roles to 5 roles, and add unit tests for the pre-existing platformJwt verify/decode helpers.

Approach

Role additionportals/api-portal/resources/role-to-scope-mapping.yaml:

  • New entry platform-api-system with dp:api:manage, dp:api_content:manage, dp:mcp_server:manage, dp:mcp_server_content:manage, dp:subscription_plan:manage.
  • Strict subset of dp_admin — no organization, application, subscription, webhook_subscriber, or key_manager scopes.
  • Not aliased and not mapped to either page-access tier: this is a service identity, not a browsing role.

Login-callback verificationportals/api-portal/src/middlewares/passportConfig.js:

  • New verifyIdpJwt(token, audience) helper. Uses jose.createRemoteJWKSet(new URL(config.auth.idp.jwksUrl)) and jose.jwtVerify with algorithms: constants.JWT_ASYMMETRIC_ALGORITHMS, plus issuer when configured. Audience is passed per token type by the caller.
  • Passport verify callback now:
    • id_tokenverifyIdpJwt(params.id_token, config.auth.idp?.clientId) — audience is the client_id per OIDC Core §3.1.3.7.
    • access_tokenverifyIdpJwt(accessToken, config.auth.idp?.audience) — audience uses auth.idp.audience when configured; skipped otherwise since aud on access tokens varies by IDP. Signature / iss / exp still run.
    • Verification failure surfaces as done(err) — the callback no longer falls through with empty claims when a token fails to decode.
  • Uses the JWKS URL, issuer, and audience fields that already exist in the config schema — no new keys.

Tests:

  • authorizationConfig.test.jsrole mode with the shipped mapping starts and loads its ___ roles — expected count 4 → 5.
  • roleScopeMap.test.jsthe shipped role-to-scope-mapping.yaml validates against the shipped OpenAPI spec — expected keys list gains 'platform-api-system'.
  • New platformJwt.test.js — 8 node:test cases for verifyPlatformJwtClaims and decodePlatformJwtClaims (signature match, wrong-key rejection, expired-token rejection, malformed input, missing key file, empty scope claim, decode-without-verify, decode malformed).

User stories

  • As a Platform API operator, I want a narrow service role for the portal so outbound publish calls don't run with organization-admin privileges.
  • As an API Portal operator, I want the login callback to apply the same JWKS verification that the REST bearer-token path already applies.

Documentation

N/A — role naming, scope grants, and IDP config keys are documented in the YAML file and configLoader; both already carry inline documentation and this PR extends both in-place.

Automation tests

  • Unit tests
    • portals/api-portal/src/utils/platformJwt.test.js — 8 new tests exercising the platform JWT verify/decode helpers end-to-end with jose.generateKeyPair / jose.SignJWT.
    • portals/api-portal/src/config/authorizationConfig.test.js — updated role-count assertion; the surrounding suite exercises configLoader validation of the shipped mapping.
    • portals/api-portal/src/config/roleScopeMap.test.js — updated shipped-keys assertion; the surrounding suite exercises grant-table validation.
  • Integration tests
    • N/A — this PR adds no request-path code beyond the OAuth2 callback, which is exercised via the existing IDP-mode flow.

Platform API mints an outbound token carrying roles=["platform-api-system"]
when it calls the portal's admin REST to publish APIs, MCP servers, their
content, and subscription plans. In role-authorization mode (the default),
the portal looks that role up in this file and expands to the corresponding
dp:* scopes. Without an entry the token authenticates but the request is
denied for lack of scopes.

The role is added as a distinct entry rather than a dp_admin alias: it's a
service identity (not a human persona) and its grant is a strict subset of
dp_admin's — publishing scopes only, no access to organization settings,
applications, subscriptions, webhooks, or key managers.

The passport-oauth2 callback used safeDecodeJwt on the id_token and
access_token freshly returned by the IDP. safeDecodeJwt reads the
payload without any signature, issuer, audience, or expiry checks — so
a tampered token or one issued for a different audience by the same
IDP would still be accepted as the login identity.

Replace with a verifyIdpJwt helper that uses jose's jwtVerify against
the same JWKS URL the OAuth strategy is already configured with:
  - id_token audience defaults to auth.idp.clientId (OIDC Core §3.1.3.7).
  - access_token audience uses auth.idp.audience when configured;
    otherwise aud validation is skipped for the access token while
    signature / issuer / expiry checks still run.
  - Verification failure surfaces as a login failure (done(err)) rather
    than a silently-accepted forged token.

Two assertions hard-coded the shipped role-to-scope-mapping.yaml's
role count. Adding platform-api-system flips 4 → 5 in both places.
Covers verifyPlatformJwtClaims (signature match, wrong-key rejection,
expired-token rejection, malformed input, missing key file, empty-scope
handling) and decodePlatformJwtClaims (parses without verifying,
returns null for malformed input). Uses node:test and jose helpers to
build tokens rather than relying on external fixtures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OAuth callback now verifies ID and access tokens against configured JWKS keys. IDP startup validation requires auth.idp.jwks_url. The role mapping adds platform-api-system with five management scopes.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the API Portal to (1) introduce a narrow service role for Platform API outbound publishing, and (2) ensure the OAuth2 login callback verifies IDP tokens using the configured JWKS (aligning login-time validation with existing bearer-token validation).

Changes:

  • Added platform-api-system role to the shipped role-to-scope mapping with only the dp:*:manage scopes needed for outbound publish artifacts.
  • Replaced non-verifying JWT decode in the passport-oauth2 verify callback with jose.jwtVerify against the configured IDP JWKS (with issuer/audience enforcement as configured).
  • Updated config/role-mapping tests for the new role and added unit tests for existing Platform JWT verify/decode helpers.

Five follow-ups from CodeRabbit + Copilot review of the previous commits:

1. Cache JWKS resolver at module scope, keyed by URL. createRemoteJWKSet
   keeps an internal key cache and rate-limits refreshes; recreating it
   on every verifyIdpJwt call (twice per login) threw that state away
   and pushed the JWKS endpoint on every login.

2. Fail closed in verifyIdpJwt when the token argument is falsy. The
   helper previously returned {} on a missing token, which let the
   OAuth2 callback continue with empty claims and land the user in a
   session that 403'd on every subsequent request. The docstring already
   said "throws when checks fail" — this makes the code match.

3. Return a generic error to Passport (Login failed: token verification
   error) and keep the underlying jose message in the log. Depending on
   how the callback route renders the error, the raw message could leak
   JWKS URL parse failures, network errors, etc. to the browser.

4. Require auth.idp.jwks_url in configLoader when auth.mode = "idp".
   Both the login callback (passportConfig.js) and the REST bearer
   verifier (authMiddleware.js) already require it at request time;
   fail closed at startup instead of at first login.

5. Assert the shipped platform-api-system role's exact scope list in
   roleScopeMap.test.js (in addition to the role-name-only assertion).
   Pins the least-privilege contract so a silent scope widening or
   narrowing fails this test.
