I added an unprotected flag to the proxy routes which is evaluated by
the authentication middleware. This way we won't have to maintain a
hardcoded list of unprotected paths and path prefixes and we will
hopefully reduce the times we encounter the basic auth prompt by web
browsers.
The old approach of the authentication middlewares had the problem that when an authenticator could not authenticate a request it would still send it to the next handler, in case that the next one can authenticate it. But if no authenticator could successfully authenticate the request, it would still be handled, which leads to unauthorized access.
Allow to switch jwt access token verification and off. Many (most?) IDP
provide JWT encoded access tokens. If ocis is configure to assume jwt
access tokens (access_token_verify_method==jwt) we now properly verify
the tokens signature and a set of standard claims ("exp", "iat" and nbf"
by way of the jwt module's standard verification and "iss" explicitliy).
This change also allows for introduction of other access token verification
mechanism in the future (e.g. through introspection (RFC7662).
