revocation endpoints, joining the existing client_secret_post default.
Both are opt-in via the new clientAuthMethod config field. Closes#135.
private_key_jwt (RFC 7523 §2.2 / OpenID Connect Core §9)
========================================================
Plugin signs a short-lived JWT with a configured private key and presents
it as client_assertion. Use when the IdP enforces short secret TTLs or
requires secretless client auth (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD, Okta,
Auth0, Keycloak).
New Config fields:
clientAuthMethod (default: client_secret_post)
clientAssertionPrivateKey (inline PEM)
clientAssertionKeyPath (PEM file path; mutually exclusive)
clientAssertionKeyID (JWS kid header — required)
clientAssertionAlg (default: RS256; RS/PS/ES 256–512 supported)
PEM forms accepted: PKCS#8, PKCS#1, SEC1.
Assertion claims: iss=sub=clientID, aud=tokenURL, iat=now, exp=now+60s,
random 16-byte hex jti per request. ECDSA signatures are raw r||s per
RFC 7515 (not ASN.1).
client_secret_basic (RFC 6749 §2.3.1)
=====================================
Sends credentials in the Authorization: Basic header instead of the
body. Both halves are form-urlencoded individually before base64 — that
encoding step is required by the spec and is NOT what stdlib's
http.Request.SetBasicAuth does, so the plugin uses its own helper. The
form body omits client_id and client_secret on this path.
Wire-up
=======
Both methods are dispatched at the same two call sites:
helpers.go:exchangeTokens — auth_code + refresh_token grants
token_manager.go:RevokeTokenWithProvider — RFC 7009 revocation
Existing clientSecret deployments are unaffected — empty
clientAuthMethod maps to the historical client_secret_post behavior, and
clientAssertion remains nil unless the new fields are set.
Yaegi compatibility
===================
All required crypto/rsa, crypto/ecdsa, crypto/x509, encoding/pem and
crypto/sha256/384/512 symbols are exposed by the traefik/yaegi stdlib
symbol tables (RSA SignPKCS1v15 + SignPSS, ECDSA Sign,
ParsePKCS8/1PrivateKey, ParseECPrivateKey).
Tests (16 new)
==============
Algorithm-family coverage:
TestIssue135_SignerRSAFamily — RS256/384/512 + PS256/384/512
TestIssue135_SignerECDSAFamily — ES256/384/512, raw r||s shape
TestIssue135_SignerRejectsAlgKeyMismatch
TestIssue135_SignerJTIUniqueness — 50 sigs, all jti distinct
TestIssue135_SignerPEMVariants — PKCS#8, PKCS#1, SEC1
Config validation:
TestIssue135_ConfigValidation — full Validate() matrix
TestIssue135_ConfigKeyPathLoadsFile

TestIssue135_RevocationUsesAssertion
TestIssue135_BuildSignerFromInlineConfig
TestIssue135_BuildSignerDefaultsToRS256
TestIssue135_ClientSecretBasicAuth — Authorization header, no body creds
TestIssue135_ClientSecretBasicURLEncodesReservedChars — :, +, /, @, =, &
TestIssue135_ClientSecretBasicRevocation — revocation parity

Out of scope (deferred)
=======================
mTLS / tls_client_auth (RFC 8705) — separate change; requires per-call
http.Client with tls.Config.Certificates and conflicts with the current
pooled HTTP client architecture.
The redis.enableTLS / redis.tlsSkipVerify settings were accepted by the
config layer but silently dropped before reaching the connection pool, so
the plugin always dialed Redis in plaintext. This blocked TLS-only Redis
deployments such as AWS ElastiCache with in-transit encryption.
- Add EnableTLS, TLSSkipVerify, TLSServerName to backends.Config and
PoolConfig and forward them through universal_cache_singleton ->
backends.Config -> PoolConfig.
- In the connection pool, dial via tls.Dialer.DialContext (TLS 1.2
minimum) with SNI defaulting to the host part of the configured
Address when TLSServerName is empty, so ElastiCache cluster endpoints
validate out of the box. Plain dial path now also propagates ctx.
- Add regression tests covering successful TLS negotiation with skip-
verify, rejection of self-signed certs without skip-verify, rejection
of plain TCP servers when EnableTLS=true, and unaffected plaintext
behavior.
- Document maxRefreshTokenAgeSeconds (added in 1b6c861) and the implicit
SSE / WebSocket auth bypass (added in 684a990) in README.md,
docs/CONFIGURATION.md and docs/index.html.
- Add the missing redis.tlsSkipVerify row to docs/index.html and clarify
the redis.enableTLS description.
