## Understanding Audiences
### What is an Audience?
The **audience** (`aud`) claim in a JWT identifies the intended recipient of the token. Per OAuth 2.0 and OIDC specifications:
- **ID Tokens**: MUST have `aud = client_id` (per OIDC Core 1.0 spec)
- **Access Tokens**: Can have custom audiences (e.g., API identifiers)
### Why Does This Matter?
Proper audience validation prevents **token confusion attacks** where a token intended for one API is used to access another API.
---
## The Three Auth0 Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Custom API Audience ✅ **RECOMMENDED**
**Configuration:**
```yaml
audience: "https://my-api.example.com" # Your API identifier from Auth0
```
**What Happens:**
1. Authorization request includes `audience` parameter
2. Auth0 issues:
- **ID Token**: `aud = client_id`
- **Access Token**: `aud = ["https://issuer/userinfo", "https://my-api.example.com"]`
3. Middleware validates:
- ID tokens against `client_id`
- Access tokens against custom audience
**Result:** ✅ Fully secure, OIDC compliant
---
### Scenario 2: Default Audience (No Custom API) ⚠️ **USE WITH CAUTION**
**Configuration:**
```yaml
# audience not specified (defaults to client_id)
```
**What Happens:**
1. Authorization request WITHOUT `audience` parameter
2. Auth0 issues:
- **ID Token**: `aud = client_id`
- **Access Token**: `aud = ["https://issuer/userinfo", "default_api"]` (no `client_id`)
3. Access token validation fails (audience mismatch)
4. Middleware falls back to ID token validation
**Security Warning:**
```
⚠️⚠️⚠️ SECURITY WARNING: Falling back to ID token validation despite access token audience mismatch!
⚠️ This could allow tokens intended for different APIs to grant access
⚠️ Set strictAudienceValidation=true to enforce proper audience validation
⚠️ See: https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/74
```
**Recommended Fix:**
```yaml
strictAudienceValidation: true # Reject sessions with audience mismatch
```
**Result:**
- Default: ⚠️ Works but logs security warnings
- With strict mode: ✅ Secure (rejects mismatched tokens)
---
### Scenario 3: Opaque Access Tokens ✅ **SUPPORTED**
**Configuration:**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true # Enable opaque token support
requireTokenIntrospection: true # Require introspection (recommended)
```
**What Happens:**
1. Auth0 issues opaque (non-JWT) access token
2. Middleware detects opaque token (not 3 parts separated by dots)
3. Uses OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection (RFC 7662) to validate
4. Falls back to ID token if introspection unavailable (unless `requireTokenIntrospection=true`)
**Requirements:**
- Provider must support `introspection_endpoint` in OIDC discovery
- Client must have introspection permissions
**Result:** ✅ Secure with introspection, ⚠️ risky without
---
## Configuration Options
### Audience Settings
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `audience` | string | `client_id` | Expected audience for access tokens |
**Example:**
```yaml
# .traefik.yml
http:
middlewares:
oidc-auth:
plugin:
traefikoidc:
audience: "https://my-api.example.com"
```
---
### Security Mode Settings
#### `strictAudienceValidation`
**Type:** boolean
**Default:** `false`
**Recommended:** `true` for production
**What it does:**
- When `true`: Rejects sessions if access token audience doesn't match (prevents Scenario 2)
- When `false`: Logs warnings but allows fallback to ID token (backward compatible)
**Example:**
```yaml
strictAudienceValidation: true
```
**When to use:**
- ✅ Always use in production environments
- ✅ When you have custom API audiences configured in Auth0
- ⚠️ May break existing deployments relying on Scenario 2 behavior
---
#### `allowOpaqueTokens`
**Type:** boolean
**Default:** `false`
**What it does:**
- When `true`: Accepts opaque (non-JWT) access tokens
- When `false`: Only accepts JWT access tokens
**Example:**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true
```
**When to use:**
- ✅ When Auth0 issues opaque tokens (no default API configured)
- ✅ When using Auth0 Management API tokens
- ⚠️ Requires introspection endpoint for security
---
#### `requireTokenIntrospection`
**Type:** boolean
**Default:** `false`
**Recommended:** `true` when `allowOpaqueTokens=true`
**What it does:**
- When `true`: Rejects opaque tokens if introspection fails or endpoint unavailable
- When `false`: Falls back to ID token validation for opaque tokens
**Example:**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true
requireTokenIntrospection: true
```
**When to use:**
- ✅ Always use when `allowOpaqueTokens=true` for maximum security
- ⚠️ Requires provider to expose introspection endpoint
---
## Security Recommendations
### Recommended Configuration for Auth0
**For APIs with custom audiences (Scenario 1):**
```yaml
audience: "https://my-api.example.com"
strictAudienceValidation: true
allowOpaqueTokens: false
```
**For default Auth0 setup (Scenario 2):**
```yaml
# Don't set audience (defaults to client_id)
strictAudienceValidation: true # Enforce proper configuration
```
**For opaque tokens (Scenario 3):**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true
requireTokenIntrospection: true
strictAudienceValidation: true
```
### Security Best Practices
1. ✅ **Always set `strictAudienceValidation: true` in production**
2. ✅ **Configure custom API audiences in Auth0 dashboard**
3. ✅ **Use `requireTokenIntrospection: true` if accepting opaque tokens**
4. ✅ **Monitor logs for security warnings**
5. ❌ **Don't rely on Scenario 2 fallback behavior**
---
## Troubleshooting
### "Access token validation failed due to audience mismatch"
**Symptom:**
```
⚠️ SCENARIO 2 DETECTED: Access token validation failed due to audience mismatch
```
**Cause:** Access token audience doesn't match configured audience
**Solutions:**
1. **Configure correct audience:**
```yaml
audience: "https://your-api-identifier" # From Auth0 API settings
```
2. **Update Auth0 authorization request:**
- Ensure `audience` parameter is included in authorize URL
- Middleware automatically adds this when `audience != client_id`
3. **Accept the behavior (not recommended):**
```yaml
strictAudienceValidation: false # Logs warnings but allows
```
---
### "Opaque token detected but allowOpaqueTokens=false"
**Symptom:**
```
⚠️ Opaque access token detected but allowOpaqueTokens=false
```
**Cause:** Auth0 issued non-JWT access token but middleware not configured to accept them
**Solutions:**
1. **Enable opaque tokens:**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true
requireTokenIntrospection: true
```
2. **Configure Auth0 to issue JWT access tokens:**
- Create an API in Auth0 dashboard
- Set API identifier as `audience` in configuration
---
### "Introspection endpoint not available"
**Symptom:**
```
⚠️ Opaque tokens enabled but no introspection endpoint available from provider
```
**Cause:** Auth0 provider metadata doesn't include `introspection_endpoint`
**Solutions:**
1. **Check provider discovery:**
```bash
curl https://YOUR_DOMAIN/.well-known/openid-configuration
```
Look for `introspection_endpoint`
2. **Disable required introspection (less secure):**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true
requireTokenIntrospection: false # Falls back to ID token
```
3. **Use JWT access tokens instead** (recommended)
---
### "Token introspection required but endpoint not available"
**Symptom:**
```
❌ SECURITY: Opaque token rejected (introspection required but failed)
```
**Cause:** `requireTokenIntrospection=true` but provider doesn't support it
**Solutions:**
1. **Disable required introspection:**
```yaml
requireTokenIntrospection: false
```
2. **Configure Auth0 to issue JWT tokens** (better solution)
---
## Advanced Topics
### Token Type Detection
The middleware uses a sophisticated 6-step detection algorithm:
1. **RFC 9068 `typ` header**: `at+jwt` → Access Token
2. **Explicit type claims**: `token_use`, `token_type`
3. **`scope` claim**: Present → Access Token
4. **`nonce` claim**: Present → ID Token (OIDC spec)
5. **Audience check**: `aud == client_id` only → ID Token
6. **Default**: Access Token
### OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection (RFC 7662)
When opaque tokens are detected:
1. Middleware calls provider's `introspection_endpoint`
2. Authenticates using client credentials
3. Receives response with `active` status and claims
4. Caches result for 5 minutes (configurable via TTL)
5. Validates expiration, not-before, and audience if present
**Cache behavior:**
- Cache key: Token hash
- TTL: 5 minutes or token expiry (whichever is shorter)
- Reduces introspection requests for frequently used tokens

## Migration Guide
### From Previous Versions
**If you're upgrading from a version without these features:**
1. **No action required for default behavior** - backward compatible
2. **Recommended: Enable strict mode gradually**
```yaml
# Step 1: Enable and monitor logs
strictAudienceValidation: false # Default
# Step 2: After confirming no warnings, enable
strictAudienceValidation: true
```
3. **For opaque tokens: Enable explicitly**
```yaml
allowOpaqueTokens: true
requireTokenIntrospection: true
```
### Testing Your Configuration
1. **Check logs for warnings:**
```bash
# Look for Scenario 2 warnings
grep "SCENARIO 2 DETECTED" /var/log/traefik.log
# Look for opaque token warnings
grep "Opaque" /var/log/traefik.log
```
2. **Test with curl:**
```bash
# Get token from Auth0
ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token"
# Test request
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
https://your-app.example.com/api
```
3. **Monitor for security warnings in production logs**
