chore(release): v1.0.42

Under yaegi, the authenticated cookie path allocated about 3.8 MB per
request. A yaegi harness measures bytes per request with a browser-like
cookie jar. With it, these changes cut bytes by 83%, allocations by 69%
and time by about 93%.

- Replace range loops over tokens with index loops. Under yaegi, ranging
  over a string allocates O(n^2) bytes.
- Pool gzip readers for combined session cookies.
- Memoize the validated ID token within one request.
- Cache content-only token validation across requests. The key is the
  token type and SHA-256, and the cache holds at most 4096 entries. The
  entry keeps the parsed exp and iat claims. The expiry and freshness
  checks still run on every request.

New tests pin the validator results, the memo and the cache behavior.

+
+## Workflows
+
+### PR Validation (`pr-validation.yml`)
+
+A comprehensive validation workflow that runs **all checks in parallel** for maximum speed and thorough testing.
+
+**Triggered on:**
+- Pull requests to `main` branch
+- Pushes to `main` branch
+
+**Parallel Jobs (20+ concurrent checks):**
+
+#### Code Quality
+- **Quick Checks** - Format, go vet, go mod verify
+- **golangci-lint** - Comprehensive linting
+- **Staticcheck** - Static analysis
+
+#### Security
+- **Gosec** - Security vulnerability scanning
+- **Govulncheck** - Go vulnerability database check
+- **CodeQL** - GitHub's code analysis
+
+#### Testing
+- **Race Detector** - Concurrent access bug detection
+- **Coverage** - Test coverage with 75% threshold
+- **Memory Leaks** - Goroutine and memory leak detection
+- **Integration Tests** - Full integration test suite
+- **Regression Tests** - Prevent previously fixed bugs
+- **Security Edge Cases** - Security-specific scenarios
+- **Session Tests** - Session management validation
+- **Token Tests** - Token validation scenarios
+- **CSRF Tests** - CSRF protection validation
+
+#### Provider Testing (Matrix)
+Tests run in parallel for each OIDC provider:
+- Google
+- Azure AD
+- Auth0
+- Okta
+- Keycloak
+- AWS Cognito
+- GitLab
+- GitHub
+- Generic OIDC
+
+#### Performance & Compatibility
+- **Benchmarks** - Performance regression detection
+- **Build Matrix** - linux/darwin × amd64/arm64
+- **Go Versions** - Go 1.23 and 1.24 compatibility
+
+#### Final Validation
+- **All Checks Passed** - Ensures all jobs succeeded
+
+## Workflow Features
+
+### 🚀 Parallel Execution
+All independent checks run simultaneously for fastest feedback (~5-10 minutes for full suite).
+
+### 📊 Coverage Reporting
+- Automatic PR comments with coverage statistics
+- Per-package coverage breakdown
+- 75% coverage threshold enforcement
+
+### 🔒 Security First
+- Multiple security scanners (gosec, govulncheck, CodeQL)
+- SARIF report uploads for GitHub Security tab
+- Security edge case testing
+
+### 🎯 Comprehensive Testing
+- Race condition detection
+- Memory leak detection
+- Provider-specific testing
+- Integration and regression tests
+
+### 📈 Performance Tracking
+- Benchmark results stored as artifacts
+- Performance regression detection
+
+### ✅ Quality Gates
+All checks must pass before PR can be merged:
+- Code formatting and style
+- Security vulnerabilities
+- Test coverage threshold
+- Race conditions
+- Memory leaks
+- Build success on all platforms
+
+## Local Development
+
+### Run checks locally before pushing:
+
+```bash
+# Format code
+gofmt -s -w .
+
+# Run linter
+golangci-lint run
+
+# Run tests with race detector
+go test -race -timeout=15m -count=1 ./...
+
+# Check coverage
+go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+go tool cover -func=coverage.out
+
+# Run specific test suites
+go test -v -run='.*Leak.*' ./...           # Memory leak tests
+go test -v -run='.*Integration.*' ./...    # Integration tests
+go test -v -run='.*Regression.*' ./...     # Regression tests
+
+# Run benchmarks
+go test -bench=. -benchmem ./...
+
+# Security scan
+gosec ./...
+govulncheck ./...
+```
+
+### Required Tools
+
+Install these tools for local development:
+
+```bash
+# golangci-lint
+go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@latest
+
+# staticcheck
+go install honnef.co/go/tools/cmd/staticcheck@latest
+
+# gosec
+go install github.com/securego/gosec/v2/cmd/gosec@latest
+
+# govulncheck
+go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Workflow Fails
+
+1. **Check job status** - Click on failed job for details
+2. **Review logs** - Expand failed steps to see error messages
+3. **Run locally** - Reproduce issue with local commands above
+4. **Check coverage** - Ensure test coverage meets 75% threshold
+
+### Coverage Below Threshold
+
+Add tests to increase coverage:
+```bash
+# See which lines aren't covered
+go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+go tool cover -html=coverage.out
+```
+
+### Race Condition Detected
+
+Run with race detector locally:
+```bash
+go test -race -v ./...
+```
+
+### Provider Test Failure
+
+Test specific provider:
+```bash
+go test -v -run='.*Azure.*' ./internal/providers/...
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+The workflow is optimized for speed:
+
+- **Parallel execution** - All independent jobs run simultaneously
+- **Go caching** - Dependencies cached between runs
+- **Strategic ordering** - Quick checks run first for fast feedback
+- **Fail-fast disabled** - Continue running all tests even if some fail
+

 summary: |
-  Middleware adding OIDC authentication to traefik routes. Does what it says on the tin.
-  Middleware has been tested with Auth0 and Logto. It should work with any OIDC provider.
+  OpenID Connect authentication middleware for Traefik. Replaces forward-auth
+  + oauth2-proxy with a single plugin that auto-detects all major OIDC
+  providers (Google, Azure AD, Auth0, Okta, Keycloak, AWS Cognito, GitLab,
+  generic) and OAuth 2.0 for GitHub.
+
+  Features: ID-token validation with auto-discovery, session encryption,
+  proactive token refresh, RBAC via roles/groups claims, domain restriction,
+  templated downstream headers, security headers (CSP, HSTS, CORS), rate
+  limiting, PKCE, opaque-token introspection (RFC 7662), back/front-channel
+  logout, Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), and Redis-backed shared
+  state for multi-replica deployments.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- **`allowUnauthenticatedPreflight` (default `false`).** Every `OPTIONS`
+  request needs authentication by default, as in the last release. Set the
+  option to `true` to let a genuine CORS preflight reach the backend
+  without a session. Only an `OPTIONS` request that carries both `Origin`
+  and `Access-Control-Request-Method` bypasses authentication, and the
+  plugin discards the backend's response body for it, because a browser
+  never reads a preflight body (`settings.go`, `middleware.go`, FIX-02).
+  See the option table in [CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md).
+
+- **`streamingRefresh` (default `false`).** SSE and WebSocket requests do
+  not check the token expiry, so a session stays usable for streaming until
+  the session cookie expires. Set the option to `true` to refresh an expired
+  token on these requests. If the IdP rejects the refresh with
+  `invalid_grant`, the request gets `401`. If the IdP cannot be reached, the
+  request is forwarded as before. The request waits for the full refresh, so
+  a rotated refresh token is never lost (`middleware.go`).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Opaque bearer tokens when all three bearer flags are set.** A deployment
+  that sets `enableBearerAuth`, `requireTokenIntrospection` and
+  `allowOpaqueTokens` now accepts opaque bearer tokens after RFC 7662
+  introspection. The last release rejected every non-JWT bearer token. The
+  plugin binds an accepted opaque token to the client through `client_id` or
+  `aud`. It also applies the identifier, token-age, logout, revocation and
+  `nbf` checks (`bearer_auth.go`).
+
+- **Sessions created before this upgrade can omit `post_logout_redirect_uri`
+  on their first logout.** The plugin now builds that parameter only from the
+  redirect-URI origin recorded at login, never from the logout request's
+  host. Older sessions have no recorded origin, so those users stay on the
+  IdP's logout page once (`helpers.go`).
+
+- **Shutdown waits up to 5 seconds for a token refresh in progress.** On
+  shutdown, for example a Traefik reload, the refresh coordinator lets a
+  refresh that already reached the IdP deliver its tokens, then returns
+  (`shutdownRefreshDrainTimeout`, `refresh_coordinator.go`). A refresh that
+  has not started does not start after shutdown.
+
+- **A panic after the request reaches the backend now aborts the
+  connection.** The plugin re-panics it, for example the reverse proxy's
+  `http.ErrAbortHandler` when an upstream drops the connection mid-body. Go's
+  HTTP server then aborts the connection. Before, the plugin recovered the
+  panic, so a truncated response could reach the client as a complete 200. A
+  panic before the request reaches the backend still returns 500
+  (`middleware.go`).
+
+- **private_key_jwt now rejects RSA signing keys under 2048 bits.**
+  `validateAlgKeyMatch` stops `New()` with an error when a configured
+  `private_key_jwt` RS\*/PS\* key is smaller than 2048 bits (RFC 7518 §3.3).
+  A smaller key signs locally, but a conformant IdP rejects it at token
+  exchange with `invalid_client`, so the plugin now fails at construction
+  instead of at every runtime exchange. There is no override: deployments
+  using an RSA key under 2048 bits must generate a 2048-bit-or-larger key
+  before upgrading. The rejection returns a matchable `ErrRSAKeyTooSmall`
+  sentinel (`client_assertion.go`).
+
+- **A discovered `http://` endpoint is now dropped when `providerURL` is
+  `https://`.** `validateDiscoveredEndpoint` refuses to accept an
+  authorization, token, jwks_uri, revocation, end_session, introspection, or
+  registration endpoint served over plaintext HTTP when the operator
+  configured an HTTPS provider (R146): using it as-is would send a client
+  secret or token over an unauthenticated channel. There is no configuration
+  flag to disable this check. A dropped endpoint logs an `ERROR` line; a
+  dropped `token`, `jwks_uri`, or `authorization` endpoint — the three
+  every login needs — additionally logs a `SECURITY:`-prefixed line naming
+  the endpoint, the dropped URL, and the fact that there is no override, so
+  the failure is diagnosable instead of surfacing only as a broken login.
+  See [Discovered Endpoint
+  Validation](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#discovered-endpoint-validation)
+  (`url_helpers.go`, `main.go`).
+
+- **Blacklist entries in Redis use the `blacklist:` key prefix.** The
+  blacklist cache now has its own cache type (`CacheTypeBlacklist`), so its
+  Redis keys move from the shared `token:` prefix to `blacklist:` (R128).
+  A cached token entry and a revocation marker for the same raw token can
+  no longer overwrite each other. For one release, a blacklist miss also
+  reads the legacy `token:<key>` entry and treats it as revoked only when
+  the stored value is boolean `true` (`checkLegacyBlacklistMarker` in
+  `universal_cache.go`, FIX-16). The fallback works in one direction only:
+  during a rolling deploy, a replica that runs the previous version does
+  not see revocations that an upgraded replica writes under `blacklist:`.
+  A blacklist miss checks the legacy `token:` entry at most once per key in
+  each 30 seconds, so the fallback adds little Redis traffic.
+
+- **Claim validation accepts four previously-rejected or silently-dropped
+  claim shapes.** Each change below is intentional, matches a production
+  change, and is pinned by an existing regression test.
+  - `iat` (issued-at) is optional in `jwt.Verify`, per RFC 7519 §4.1.6. A
+    token that omits it is validated on `iss`/`aud`/`exp`/`nbf` alone,
+    instead of being rejected (`jwt.go`, R126). The lenient-audience
+    access-token path (`accessTokenUnexpired` in `token_validation_rs.go`)
+    applies the same rule, because both paths call `verifyTimeClaims`
+    (`jwt.go`, FIX-27). Bearer-token auth still rejects a token with no
+    `iat`: it returns `"missing iat claim"` (`enforceIatAge` in
+    `bearer_auth.go`), because `maxTokenAgeSeconds` always applies — `0`
+    falls back to a 24h default (`main.go`).
+  - A numeric `sub` (bearer-auth identifier) claim is stringified instead of
+    rejected, so an IdP that emits a numeric subject still authenticates
+    (`bearer_auth.go` `resolveBearerIdentifier`, R102).
+  - A `groups`/`roles` claim that is neither a string nor an array (for
+    example a bare number or `null`) is treated as an empty list instead of
+    failing claim extraction outright, so a malformed claim on one side does
+    not suppress a valid claim on the other (`token_manager.go`
+    `extractGroupsAndRolesFromClaims`, R96).
+  - A numeric element inside a `groups`/`roles` array is stringified into
+    the list instead of being silently dropped, so a numeric group ID
+    survives extraction and can match an `allowedRolesAndGroups` entry
+    (`token_manager.go` `stringListFromClaim`, `utilities.go`
+    `claimScalarString`, R105).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- SSE and WebSocket requests now get the configured `headers`, as normal
+  requests do. The last release sent only `X-Forwarded-User` on these
+  requests, so a backend that checks a shared-secret header answered `401`
+  on WebSocket upgrades. The same requests now also honor back-channel and
+  front-channel logout (`middleware.go`, #162).
+- The opaque bearer path rejects a token that `RevokeToken` added to the
+  blacklist, for example at logout. It also rejects an opaque token whose
+  `nbf` is in the future (`bearer_auth.go`).
+- The backchannel-logout replay check treats a Redis error reply such as
+  `READONLY`, `OOM` or `MISCONF` as a failure, not as an unknown outcome. A
+  replayed logout token is now rejected while Redis refuses writes
+  (`internal/cache/backends/redis.go`).
+- After a failed cache write, a replica no longer ignores a newer value that
+  another replica wrote, such as a later logout. The preference for the local
+  value expires after 5 seconds (`backendStaleMarkTTL`, `universal_cache.go`).
+- The token circuit breaker treats HTTP 408 from the token endpoint as a
+  transient failure, the same as 429 (`error_recovery.go`).
+- With `allowUnauthenticatedPreflight` enabled, a preflight response no longer
+  carries a stale `Content-Length` when the backend writes a body without
+  calling `WriteHeader` (`middleware.go`).
+- A dropped `http://` revocation, end-session or introspection endpoint logs
+  the `SECURITY:` line when its override (`revocationURL`, `oidcEndSessionURL`
+  or `introspectionURL`) is not configured (`main.go`).

-## Traefik OIDC middleware
+# Traefik OIDC Middleware
 
-This middleware is supposed to replace the need for the forward-auth and oauth2-proxy when using traefik as a reverse proxy to support the OIDC authentication.
+OpenID Connect authentication middleware for Traefik. Replaces forward-auth +
+oauth2-proxy. Auto-detects all major OIDC providers, validates ID tokens,
+manages sessions, and forwards user identity to downstream services.
 
-Middleware has been tested with Auth0 and Logto.

-* Setting custom callback and logout URLs via `callbackURL` and `logoutURL`
-* Allowing for access only from the listed domains if `allowedUserDomains` is set, otherwise it relies entirely on the OIDC provider
-* Using excluded URLs which do **NOT** require the OIDC authentication
-* Rate limiting requests to prevent the bruteforce attacks
+## Install
 
-#### How to configure...
-
-* `sessionEncryptionKey` should be at least 32 bytes long.
-
-##### Keeping secrets secret
-
-This works ONLY in kubernetes environments. Don't forget to create secret traefik-middleware-oidc with fields ISSUER, CLIENT_ID and SECRET keys.
-

-
-
-##### Allowed email domains
-
-Assuming that your OIDC provider allows anyone to log in, you may want to limit the access to people using emains in specific domain.
-
-```
-apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
-kind: Middleware
-metadata:
-  name: oidc-only-my-users
-  namespace: traefik

-        - email
-        - profile
-      allowedUserDomains:
-        - raczylo.com
-```
-
-
-##### Allowed groups and roles
-
-In case of multiple roles / groups and access separation for various endpoints you will need to create multiple traefik middlewares.
-Following example allows access for users who have additional role `guest-endpoints` assigned.

+
+## Required parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `providerURL` | Issuer URL (used for OIDC discovery). |
+| `clientID` | OAuth 2.0 client ID. |
+| `clientSecret` | OAuth 2.0 client secret. Supports `urn:k8s:secret:ns:name:key`. Required when `clientAuthMethod` is unset, `client_secret_post`, or `client_secret_basic`; optional with `private_key_jwt`. |
+| `sessionEncryptionKey` | Cookie encryption key, **min 32 bytes**. |
+| `callbackURL` | Callback path, e.g. `/oauth2/callback`. |
+
+## Common optional parameters
+
+Full reference in [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md).
+
+| Parameter | Default | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|---------|
+| `forceHTTPS` | `true` | Forces `https://` in redirect URIs. Leave at default behind any TLS-terminating LB (AWS ALB, GCP LB, Azure App Gateway). Set `false` only for plaintext HTTP local dev. |
+| `logoutURL` | `callbackURL + "/logout"` | RP-initiated logout path. |
+| `postLogoutRedirectURI` | `/` | Where to send users after logout. |
+| `scopes` | appended to `openid profile email` | Extra OAuth scopes. Set `overrideScopes: true` to replace defaults. |
+| `extraAuthParams` | none | Map of extra query parameters appended to the authorization request (e.g. `screen_hint: signup`, `login_hint`, `ui_locales`, `prompt`). Plugin-managed params (`client_id`, `state`, `nonce`, `redirect_uri`, `code_challenge`, `scope`, `response_type`, …) cannot be overridden. |
+| `excludedURLs` | none | Paths that bypass auth, matched at a path-segment or file-extension boundary (e.g. `/public` matches `/public`, `/public/sub` and `/public.json`, but **not** `/publicsecret`). |
+| `allowedUserDomains` | none | Restrict to email domains. |
+| `allowedUsers` | none | Restrict to specific addresses (or claim values when `userIdentifierClaim != email`). |
+| `allowedRolesAndGroups` | none | Require any of these roles/groups from ID-token claims. |
+| `roleClaimName` / `groupClaimName` | `roles` / `groups` | For namespaced claims (Auth0). |
+| `userIdentifierClaim` | `email` | Use `sub`, `oid`, `upn`, or `preferred_username` for users without email. |
+| `enablePKCE` | `false` | PKCE on the auth code flow. |
+| `cookieDomain` | auto | Set explicitly for multi-subdomain setups (`.example.com`). |
+| `cookiePrefix` | `_oidc_raczylo_` | Unique prefix per middleware instance to isolate sessions. |
+| `cookiePath` | `/` | Restrict cookies to a path prefix. Set to the middleware's path (e.g. `/app`) to prevent the browser from sending OIDC cookies to unprotected paths, avoiding 431 "Request Header Or Cookie Too Large" errors on mixed-use domains. |
+| `sessionMaxAge` | `86400` | Session lifetime in seconds. |
+| `refreshGracePeriodSeconds` | `60` | Proactively refresh tokens this many seconds before expiry. |
+| `maxRefreshTokenAgeSeconds` | `21600` | Heuristic max stored refresh-token lifetime (6h). Past this, the plugin treats the RT as expired without contacting the IdP — returns 401 to AJAX, full re-auth on navigations. Set `0` to disable. Tune to match your IdP's RT TTL. |
+| `rateLimit` | `100` | Requests/sec. Min `10`. |
+| `perSourceLoginRateLimit` | `0` (off) | Throttle OIDC auth events (authorization-code callback + login initiation) per external client source, auth events per minute. Keys and classifies the source by RemoteAddr only, never `X-Forwarded-For`, so a client cannot spoof it. Internal/loopback sources (proxies, in-cluster) are never throttled. `0` disables. RemoteAddr is the TCP peer. Behind a load balancer or CDN, the limiter keys on the proxy address: a private address is never throttled, and a public address puts every client in one shared bucket. |
+| `logLevel` | `info` | `debug`, `info`, `error`. |
+| `audience` | `clientID`, or `resource` if set | Custom access-token audience (Auth0 custom APIs). |
+| `resource` | none | RFC 8707 resource indicator, alternative to `audience` for supporting IdPs (see [docs/RFC8707.md](docs/RFC8707.md)). |
+| `strictAudienceValidation` | `false` | Reject mismatched audiences. **Set `true` in production.** |
+| `allowOpaqueTokens` / `requireTokenIntrospection` | `false` | Accept opaque access tokens via RFC 7662. |
+| `revocationURL` / `oidcEndSessionURL` / `introspectionURL` | `""` | Override the discovered revocation / end-session / introspection endpoints; take precedence when discovery omits them. |
+| `maxIdentifierLength` | `256` | Bound the post-sanitisation length of the bearer identity header (`X-Forwarded-User`). |
+| `bearerFailureWindowSeconds` | `60` | Rolling window (s) over which per-IP bearer 401s are counted toward the throttle. |
+| `bearerFailurePenaltySeconds` | `60` | Seconds an IP is kept in the 429 penalty box after the bearer failure threshold. |
+| `disableReplayDetection` | `false` | Disable JTI cache. Use Redis instead for multi-replica. |
+| `allowPrivateIPAddresses` | `false` | Permit private-IP `providerURL` (internal Keycloak, etc.). |
+| `allowUnauthenticatedPreflight` | `false` | Bypass auth for a genuine CORS preflight (`OPTIONS` + `Origin` + `Access-Control-Request-Method`); the response body is still discarded. Default requires auth for every `OPTIONS` request, preflight or not. |
+| `streamingRefresh` | `false` | Refresh an expired session on SSE/WebSocket requests. Reject the request when the IdP revokes the grant. |
+| `minimalHeaders` | `false` | Reduce forwarded headers (mitigates HTTP 431). |
+| `stripAuthCookies` | `false` | Strip OIDC cookies from backend hop (mitigates HTTP 431). |
+| `caCertPath` / `caCertPEM` | none | Trust an internal CA for the provider's TLS. |
+| `insecureSkipVerify` | `false` | **Local dev only.** Disables TLS verification, logs a security warning. |
+| `clientAuthMethod` | `client_secret_post` | Client auth method. Set `private_key_jwt` for RFC 7523 JWT assertions (Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, Keycloak). See [Client authentication via private key JWT](#client-authentication-via-private-key-jwt). |
+| `clientAssertionPrivateKey` | none | Inline PEM private key for `private_key_jwt`. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionKeyPath`. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyPath` | none | File path to PEM private key for `private_key_jwt`. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyID` | none | JWS `kid` header. Required when `clientAuthMethod=private_key_jwt`; must match the public key registered with the IdP. |
+| `clientAssertionAlg` | `RS256` | JWS alg for `private_key_jwt`. Supported: `RS256/384/512`, `PS256/384/512`, `ES256/384/512`. |
+| `enableBackchannelLogout` / `backchannelLogoutURL` | `false` / none | OIDC Back-Channel Logout (server-to-server). |
+| `enableFrontchannelLogout` / `frontchannelLogoutURL` | `false` / none | OIDC Front-Channel Logout (iframe). |
+| `redis` | disabled | See [docs/REDIS.md](docs/REDIS.md). |
+| `dynamicClientRegistration` | disabled | See [docs/DCR.md](docs/DCR.md). |
+
+## Production gotchas
+
+### Upgrading from an earlier release
+
+- **Sessions are re-issued once.** Session cookies are now AES-256 encrypted
+  (previously signed only) and their cryptographic lifetime tracks
+  `sessionMaxAge` (previously a fixed 30 days). Existing cookies become invalid
+  on upgrade, so users re-authenticate one time.
+- **A rollback to v1.0.25 or earlier also invalidates sessions.** Those
+  releases cannot read the encrypted cookies that v1.0.26 and later issue.
+  They log `securecookie: the value is not valid` and `No state in
+  callback`, and the browser loops through the login. After a rollback, tell
+  users to delete
+  the `_oidc_raczylo_*` cookies (or the cookies with your `cookiePrefix`)
+  for the affected hosts. The cookies are `HttpOnly`, so users must delete
+  them in the browser site-data settings.
+- **Invalid configuration now fails closed at startup** instead of being
+  silently accepted: a `sessionEncryptionKey` shorter than 32 bytes, a
+  `rateLimit` below 10, a missing `callbackURL`, or a non-HTTPS remote
+  `providerURL` are rejected. Plaintext HTTP is permitted only for loopback
+  hosts (local development).
+- **A `private_key_jwt` RSA key under 2048 bits now fails startup** instead
+  of signing locally and failing `invalid_client` at every token exchange
+  (RFC 7518 §3.3). Generate a 2048-bit-or-larger key before upgrading. No
+  override exists.
+- **A discovered `http://` endpoint under an `https://` `providerURL` is now
+  dropped**, not used as-is: the plugin refuses to send a client secret or
+  token over plaintext HTTP even when the IdP's own discovery document
+  advertises it that way. A dropped `token`, `jwks_uri`, or `authorization`
+  endpoint breaks login; a `SECURITY:`-tagged log line names the endpoint.
+  See [Discovered Endpoint
+  Validation](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#discovered-endpoint-validation). No
+  override exists.
+
+### TLS termination at a load balancer
+
+`forceHTTPS` defaults to `true`, so redirect URIs always use `https://`. This is
+the right default behind AWS ALB, GCP LB, Azure App Gateway, or any LB that
+terminates TLS — `X-Forwarded-Proto` is unreliable (ALB may overwrite it).
+
+Only set `forceHTTPS: false` when you actually serve OIDC over plaintext HTTP
+(local dev). See [issue #82](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/82).
+
+### Multi-replica deployments
+
+Each replica keeps its own in-memory JTI cache → false positive "token replay
+detected" when the same token hits different replicas. Two options:
+
+1. Set `disableReplayDetection: true` (loses replay protection).
+2. Enable Redis for shared state (recommended) — see [docs/REDIS.md](docs/REDIS.md).
+
+For IdP-initiated logout (back/front-channel) in multi-replica setups, Redis is
+**required** so a logout on one instance invalidates sessions on the others.
+Front-channel logout requests must include a matching `iss` query parameter;
+requests that omit it are rejected with `400`.
+
+### Multiple middleware instances on the same host
+
+Each instance must use a unique `cookiePrefix` **and** `sessionEncryptionKey`,
+otherwise a session minted by one instance can grant access through another.
+See [issue #87](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/87).
+
+### Bearer-token (M2M) authentication
+
+Opt-in path for API clients that present `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` instead
+of logging in via the browser flow. Default off. When enabled, the middleware
+validates the bearer JWT against the configured OIDC provider (signature,
+issuer, audience, expiry) and forwards the request downstream with the
+principal headers — no cookie session is created.
+
+```yaml
+enableBearerAuth: true
+audience: https://api.example.com   # REQUIRED when bearer is enabled
+# optional, defaults shown:
+bearerIdentifierClaim: sub          # claim used as X-Forwarded-User
+stripAuthorizationHeader: true      # drop the raw token before forwarding
+bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate: true     # RFC 6750 hint on 401s
+bearerOverridesCookie: false        # cookie wins when both are present (safer)
+maxTokenAgeSeconds: 86400           # 24h cap on iat
+bearerFailureThreshold: 20          # consecutive 401s/IP before 429 throttle
+```
+
+Hardening built in by default:
+
+- **Audience required.** Startup fails if `enableBearerAuth=true` and
+  `audience` is unset. Eliminates the "token issued for service B accepted
+  by A" confusion vector.
+- **ID tokens explicitly rejected.** Bearer is access-token-only. ID tokens
+  (detected via `nonce`, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use`, `scope`, or audience
+  shape) return `401`.
+- **`alg` and `kid` pinned at the entrypoint.** Asymmetric-only allowlist
+  (`RS256/384/512`, `PS256/384/512`, `ES256/384/512`); `kid` length and
+  charset capped — both checked **before** any JWKS fetch so attacker noise
+  can't amplify into upstream calls.
+- **Identifier sanitised.** Default identifier source is `sub`; `email` is
+  rejected unless explicitly opted in (which the middleware still refuses to
+  avoid the unverified-email spoofing footgun). Control characters, bidi-
+  override codepoints, and the delimiters `, ; =` are all rejected before
+  the value reaches `X-Forwarded-User`.
+- **Multi-audience tokens require `azp`.** When `aud` is an array of more
+  than one element, the token must carry `azp == clientID`.
+- **`iat` upper-age bound.** Tokens older than `maxTokenAgeSeconds` are
+  rejected even if `exp` is far in the future.
+- **Per-IP 401 throttle.** After `bearerFailureThreshold` consecutive 401s
+  from one source IP, further bearer requests from that IP are rejected
+  with `429 Too Many Requests` + `Retry-After`.
+- **Cookie-wins by default.** When both a session cookie and an
+  `Authorization: Bearer` header arrive on the same request, the cookie path
+  runs (safer against browser/extension/proxy bearer injection). Set
+  `bearerOverridesCookie: true` for the AWS/GCP/Kubernetes convention.
+- **Revocation enforced.** No access-token JTI is recorded for replay;
+  `RevokeToken` (called from logout) blacklists the raw token (and a JWT's
+  `jti`), and both the JWT and the opaque bearer path reject a blacklisted
+  token.
+- **Excluded URLs strip Authorization.** When `enableBearerAuth=true`,
+  excluded paths (e.g. `/health`, `/metrics`) get the `Authorization` header
+  removed before forwarding so the token can't leak into public endpoint
+  logs.
+- **Optional real-time revocation.** Set `requireTokenIntrospection: true`
+  to call RFC 7662 introspection on every cache miss; revoked tokens fail
+  immediately. Introspection endpoint failures return `503` (distinguishes
+  infra outage from credential rejection).
+
+**Obtaining bearer tokens** — minting is the IdP's job, not the
+middleware's. The canonical M2M flow is OAuth 2.0 `client_credentials`
+(RFC 6749 §4.4); Google requires JWT bearer assertion (RFC 7523) instead.
+Minimal Auth0-shape request:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://issuer.example.com/oauth/token \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "grant_type":    "client_credentials",
+    "client_id":     "your-m2m-client-id",
+    "client_secret": "your-m2m-client-secret",
+    "audience":      "https://api.example.com",
+    "scope":         "api:read api:write"
+  }'
+```
+
+The `audience` you request from the IdP **must match** the `audience` you
+configured on the middleware. Per-provider endpoints, parameter names, and
+gotchas (Entra v2 endpoint, Cognito Resource Servers, Keycloak audience
+mappers, Google's opaque-token quirk) are documented in
+[docs/BEARER_AUTH.md](docs/BEARER_AUTH.md#obtaining-bearer-tokens-from-your-oidc-provider).
+
+Full threat model, configuration matrix, and follow-up gaps in
+[docs/BEARER_AUTH.md](docs/BEARER_AUTH.md).
+
+### SSE and WebSocket endpoints
+
+Browser clients cannot follow an OIDC `302` redirect on an SSE stream or a
+WebSocket upgrade. The middleware handles this automatically:
+
+- **SSE** (`Accept: text/event-stream`) and **WebSocket** (`Upgrade: websocket`)
+  requests skip the OIDC redirect.
+- They are **not** unauthenticated — a valid encrypted session cookie is
+  required, otherwise the request is rejected. The session must already exist
+  (i.e. the user logged in via a normal HTTP page first).
+- `X-Forwarded-User` and the configured `headers` are forwarded from the
+  session. Header templates render from the claims in the session cookie.
+- Validation is cookie-only (no JWK fetch), so streaming keeps working during
+  brief IdP outages. Back-channel and front-channel logout still apply: a
+  session that the IdP logged out is rejected.
+- By default, the token expiry is not checked, so a session stays usable
+  for streaming until the session cookie expires. Set `streamingRefresh: true`
+  to refresh an expired token on the request. If the IdP rejects the refresh
+  (`invalid_grant`), the request gets `401`. If the IdP cannot be reached,
+  the request is forwarded as before. On a WebSocket upgrade, the refreshed
+  session cookie arrives on the `101 Switching Protocols` response.
+
+No configuration needed — this is implicit behavior.
+
+### HTTP 431 from backends
+
+Either the ID token or the chunked OIDC cookies overflow your backend's header
+buffer. Combine these as needed:
+
+```yaml
+minimalHeaders: true     # drop X-Auth-Request-Token et al.
+stripAuthCookies: true   # strip _oidc_raczylo_* cookies on the backend hop
+```
+
+Cookies remain in the browser; only the Traefik→backend hop is affected. See
+[#64](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/64),
+[#122](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/122).
+
+### Internal CA for the provider
+
+If the provider's TLS cert is signed by a private CA (self-hosted GitLab,
+internal Keycloak, ADFS):
+
+```yaml
+caCertPath: /etc/ssl/certs/internal-ca.pem
+# or, inline:
+caCertPEM: |
+  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+  ...
+  -----END CERTIFICATE-----
+```
+
+Both can be combined. An unparseable bundle fails the plugin at startup.
+See [#125](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/125).
+
+### Client authentication via private key JWT
+
+Use when your IdP enforces short-lived secrets or pushes secretless client auth
+— Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD, Okta, Auth0, Keycloak. Instead of sending a
+static `clientSecret`, the plugin signs a short-lived JWT and submits it as
+`client_assertion` per [RFC 7523](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7523).
+
+Minimal config:
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+clientAssertionKeyPath: /etc/traefik/oidc/client-key.pem
+clientAssertionKeyID: my-key-2026
+# clientAssertionAlg: RS256   # default; or PS256/384/512, ES256/384/512
+```
+
+Or inline:
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+clientAssertionPrivateKey: |
+  -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
+  ...
+  -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
+clientAssertionKeyID: my-key-2026
+```
+
+Accepted PEM forms: PKCS#8 (`PRIVATE KEY`), PKCS#1 (`RSA PRIVATE KEY`), SEC1
+(`EC PRIVATE KEY`). The assertion uses `iss=sub=clientID`, `aud=tokenURL`, 60s
+lifetime, random hex `jti` per request. Sent on `/token` (auth-code + refresh)
+and `/revoke`. The `kid` must match the public key registered with the IdP.
+
+`clientSecret` becomes optional with `private_key_jwt`. Existing
+`client_secret_post` setups are unaffected. Keys are parsed once at startup —
+rotation requires a Traefik reload.
+
+See [issue #135](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/135).
+
+### Environment variable names containing `API`
+
+Traefik reserves `TRAEFIK_API_*`. User vars whose name contains `API` (e.g.
+`OIDC_ENCRYPTION_SECRET_API`) make the plugin fail with
+`invalid handler type: <nil>`. Rename to anything without the literal `API`
+substring. See [#98](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/98).
+
+## Templated headers
+
+Forward identity to backends via Go templates over ID-token claims and tokens:
+
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: X-User-Email
+    value: "{{.Claims.email}}"
+  - name: Authorization
+    value: "Bearer {{.AccessToken}}"
+  - name: X-User-Roles
+    value: "{{range $i, $e := .Claims.roles}}{{if $i}},{{end}}{{$e}}{{end}}"
+```
+
+Available bindings: `.Claims.<field>`, `.AccessToken`, `.IdToken`
+(or `.IDToken`), `.RefreshToken`. Names are case-sensitive (`.Claims`, not
+`.claims`).
+
+Header templates are validated at startup (a failing template stops the
+middleware from loading). Only a fixed set of claim fields may be emitted —
+standard OIDC claims plus common provider claims (`email`, `name`,
+`given_name`, `family_name`, `preferred_username`, `sub`, `groups`, `roles`,
+`realm_access`, `resource_access`, `oid`, `tid`, `upn`, `hd`, `picture`,
+`locale`, `email_verified`, and a few more; see `safeClaimsFields` in
+`template_validation.go`). To emit a claim not on that list, add it to
+`allowedClaims`:
+
+```yaml
+allowedClaims:
+  - employee_id
+headers:
+  - name: X-Employee-Id
+    value: "{{.Claims.employee_id}}"
+```
+
+Rendering the whole context (`{{.}}`, `{{$}}`), the whole claims map
+(`{{.Claims}}`), or any non-listed claim is rejected — this prevents a template
+from accidentally forwarding raw tokens or unlisted claims. `range`/`with` must
+target a specific listed claim (e.g. `{{range .Claims.groups}}`); `get`/`default`
+are the only functions allowed.
+
+> **File-provider users: escape the braces.** Traefik's file provider runs
+> every dynamic configuration file through Go templating before the plugin
+> sees it. Plain `{{.AccessToken}}` then fails with
+> `can't evaluate field AccessToken in type bool`. Wrap the expression in a
+> raw string so the file provider emits it literally:
+> ``value: "{{`{{.Claims.email}}`}}"``. All other providers (Kubernetes CRD,
+> Docker labels, Consul, ...) pass the value through untouched — use the plain
+> form there. Quadruple braces (`{{{{ }}}}`) do not work anywhere: the file
+> provider fails to parse them, and every other path hands them to the plugin
+> verbatim, where template validation rejects them (issues #149, #151).
+
+## Default downstream headers
+
+When a request is authenticated, the middleware sets:
+
+| Header | Notes |
+|--------|-------|
+| `X-Forwarded-User` | User's email (always). |
+| `X-User-Groups` | Comma-separated. |
+| `X-User-Roles` | Comma-separated. |
+| `X-Auth-Request-User` | User's email. |
+| `X-Auth-Request-Redirect` | Original request URI. |
+| `X-Auth-Request-Token` | Full ID token — the largest header; suppressed by `minimalHeaders`. |
+
+Plus security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options,
+X-XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy) controlled by the `securityHeaders`
+section — see [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#security-headers).
+
+## Common errors
+
+| Symptom | Cause |
+|---------|-------|
+| `Token verification failed` | Wrong/unreachable `providerURL`, or clock skew. |
+| `Session encryption key too short` | `sessionEncryptionKey` is < 32 bytes. |
+| `No matching public key found` | JWKS endpoint down, or `kid` mismatch. |
+| `Access denied: Your email domain is not allowed` | User's domain not in `allowedUserDomains`. |
+| `Access denied: You do not have any of the allowed roles or groups` | Claims missing or not in `allowedRolesAndGroups`. |
+| `can't evaluate field AccessToken in type bool` | File provider templated your header value — escape it: ``"{{`{{.AccessToken}}`}}"`` (see "Templated headers"). |
+| `tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority` | Internal CA — set `caCertPath` / `caCertPEM`. |
+| `invalid handler type: <nil>` | Env var name contains `API` — rename it. |
+| `false positive replay detected` | Multi-replica without Redis — see [Multi-replica deployments](#multi-replica-deployments). |
+| Google sessions expire after ~1h | Consent screen still in "Testing" mode. **Do not** add `offline_access` — Google rejects it; the middleware sets `access_type=offline` automatically. |
+
+Provider-specific issues (Keycloak mappers, Azure AD group overage, Auth0
+namespaced claims, Cognito regions, GitLab self-hosted) live in
+[docs/PROVIDERS.md](docs/PROVIDERS.md).
+
+Set `logLevel: debug` to surface detail.
+
+## Telemetry
+
+On first plugin instantiation this middleware sends a single anonymous
+adoption ping — project name, version, timestamp; no identifiers, no
+request data, no token contents. Fire-and-forget with a 2-second timeout;
+cannot block plugin load or panic.
+
+Local source: [`telemetry.go`](./telemetry.go). Disclosure mirrors

+# Security Fix: Integer Overflow Protection in Cache Serialization
+
+## Summary
+
+Fixed **High severity** integer overflow vulnerability identified by GitHub Advanced Security in PR #117.
+
+## Vulnerability
+
+**Locations**: `universal_cache.go` lines 789 and 811
+- `result := make([]byte, len(bytes)+1)` - Raw bytes path
+- `result := make([]byte, len(jsonData)+1)` - JSON encoding path
+
+**Risk**: Potential integer overflow when allocating memory for very large cache entries.
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+1. **Added size limit constant**:
+   ```go
+   maxCacheEntrySize = 64 * 1024 * 1024 // 64 MiB
+   ```
+
+2. **Size validation before allocation**:
+   - Validates entry size doesn't exceed limit
+   - Validates adding marker byte won't overflow
+   - Returns descriptive error messages
+
+3. **Comprehensive test coverage**:
+   - Oversized byte slices (>64 MiB)
+   - Exact max size edge case
+   - Safe sizes (normal operation)
+   - Large JSON data structures
+
+## Verification
+
+✅ All tests pass with race detection
+✅ No security issues (golangci-lint, gosec)
+✅ 76.3% test coverage maintained
+
+## Impact
+
+- No breaking changes
+- Negligible performance overhead
+- Prevents potential buffer overflows
+- Predictable memory usage
+
+---
+
+**Date**: January 8, 2026
+**Severity**: High → Resolved

+# Auth0 Audience Validation Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide explains how to configure audience validation for Auth0 and other OIDC providers that support custom API audiences. It covers three common Auth0 scenarios and how to configure the middleware for maximum security.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Understanding Audiences](#understanding-audiences)
+2. [The Three Auth0 Scenarios](#the-three-auth0-scenarios)
+3. [Configuration Options](#configuration-options)
+4. [Security Recommendations](#security-recommendations)
+5. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+---
+
+## 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?
+
+Audience validation rejects access tokens whose `aud` claim does not match the
+expected audience, blocking the trivial form of token confusion where a token
+issued for API A is presented to API B. (Defence in depth — pair with
+short-lived tokens, rotation, and per-API client credentials.)
+
+---
+
+## 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`: On audience mismatch, the middleware does **not** silently fall back to ID-token validation. It tries to refresh the access token first; if no refresh token is present (or refresh fails), the user is re-authenticated.
+- When `false`: Logs warnings and falls back to ID-token validation (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**

+
+## 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. **Configure the endpoint manually:**
+   ```yaml
+   introspectionURL: https://YOUR_DOMAIN/oauth/introspect
+   ```
+   Set this when Auth0 omits `introspection_endpoint` from discovery. The
+   manual value takes precedence over the discovered value.
+
+3. **Disable required introspection (less secure):**
+   ```yaml
+   allowOpaqueTokens: true
+   requireTokenIntrospection: false  # Falls back to ID token
+   ```
+
+4. **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; if the token's `exp` is sooner, the cache entry expires at `exp` instead. Tokens without `exp` use the flat 5-minute TTL.
+- 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**

+# Bearer Token (M2M) Authentication
+
+Opt-in path that lets API clients present `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` to
+authenticate without going through the cookie-based OIDC redirect flow.
+Designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) traffic — services calling other
+services with tokens minted by your OIDC provider.
+
+The bearer path lives next to the cookie path: both go through the same
+post-auth pipeline (`forwardAuthorized`) that injects identity headers,
+checks `allowedRolesAndGroups`, applies security headers, and forwards to
+the backend. The only thing that differs is how the principal is established
+for that single request.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```yaml
+enableBearerAuth: true
+audience: https://api.example.com  # REQUIRED when bearer is enabled
+clientID: my-api-client-id
+providerURL: https://issuer.example.com
+sessionEncryptionKey: <32+-byte secret>
+callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+```
+
+That is the minimum. Everything else has a secure default.
+
+## Obtaining bearer tokens from your OIDC provider
+
+The middleware only **validates** bearer tokens — minting them is the IdP's job. For M2M traffic the canonical mint flow is OAuth 2.0 **`client_credentials`** (RFC 6749 §4.4); some providers require **JWT bearer assertion** (RFC 7523) instead.
+
+```

+```
+
+The IdP returns a JWT signed by the same JWKs the middleware already trusts (it discovers them from `providerURL`/.well-known). On the first protected request, the middleware verifies signature + issuer + **audience** + `exp` + identifier claim, then forwards downstream with `X-Forwarded-User` set.
+
+### Minimal worked example (Auth0-shape)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Mint a token
+curl -s -X POST https://issuer.example.com/oauth/token \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "grant_type":    "client_credentials",
+    "client_id":     "your-m2m-client-id",
+    "client_secret": "your-m2m-client-secret",
+    "audience":      "https://api.example.com",
+    "scope":         "api:read api:write"
+  }'
+# → {"access_token":"eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs…","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":86400,…}
+
+# 2. Use it
+curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs…' https://api.example.com/protected
+```
+
+The `audience` field in the token request **must match** the `audience` you configured on the middleware. Mismatch → 401 with `Bearer error="invalid_token"`.
+
+### Per-provider quick reference
+
+| Provider | Grant | Token endpoint | Audience parameter | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Auth0** | `client_credentials` | `https://TENANT.auth0.com/oauth/token` | `audience=<your API identifier>` | Register an "API" + "Machine to Machine Application" authorised against that API. Without `audience` you get an opaque /userinfo token, which the bearer path rejects. See `docs/AUTH0_AUDIENCE_GUIDE.md`. |
+| **Okta** | `client_credentials` | `https://TENANT.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/token` | Configured in the authorization server; default `aud` is the auth-server URL | Service app must enable the `client_credentials` flow and be granted the requested scopes. |
+| **Keycloak** | `client_credentials` | `https://kc/realms/REALM/protocol/openid-connect/token` | Configure an "Audience" mapper on a client scope, or use `client_id` as the audience | Client must have `serviceAccountsEnabled: true` plus role mappings. |
+| **Entra ID / Azure AD** | `client_credentials` (v2.0 endpoint) | `https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT/oauth2/v2.0/token` | Pass `scope=<App ID URI>/.default`; `aud` ends up being the API's App ID URI | Requires an App Registration + API permissions + admin consent. **Use the v2.0 endpoint** — v1 issues Microsoft-proprietary access tokens that are opaque to non-Microsoft clients. |
+| **AWS Cognito** | `client_credentials` | `https://YOUR_DOMAIN.auth.REGION.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/token` | Scopes from a "Resource Server" attached to your User Pool | App client must have `client_credentials` flow enabled. Use HTTP **Basic** auth header for `client_id:client_secret`. |
+| **GitLab** | `client_credentials` | `https://gitlab.com/oauth/token` | Audience matches the GitLab issuer | Rarely used for protecting external APIs; better suited for GitLab's own resources. |
+| **Google** | **JWT bearer (RFC 7523)** — *not* `client_credentials` | `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token` | Signed assertion JWT carries `aud=https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token`; resulting access token is **opaque** unless you specifically request a Google-issued JWT for your API | Google service-account flow is not the best fit for this middleware (opaque tokens are rejected on the bearer path). Run Auth0 / Okta / Keycloak in front, or use ID-token-based flows on the cookie path. |
+
+### RFC 7523 (JWT bearer assertion) — secretless alternative
+
+When shared secrets are forbidden (FAPI, internal compliance), swap `client_secret` for a signed JWT assertion:
+
+```
+POST /token
+grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer
+assertion=<JWT signed by the client's private key>
+```
+
+The assertion JWT carries `iss=<client_id>`, `sub=<client_id>`, `aud=<token endpoint>`, `exp`. The IdP verifies the signature against a public key you've pre-registered and returns an access token.
+
+This middleware already supports JWT assertions on the *middleware → IdP* hop via `clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt` (see `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`). For the *client → IdP* hop, the same pattern applies — the client signs its own assertion.
+
+### Operational notes
+
+- **Token TTL is typically 1–24 hours.** Clients should refresh on `401`, not on a polling timer — saves the IdP.
+- **Cache and reuse tokens.** The middleware caches verified tokens too, so repeated presentations are cheap. Clients SHOULD reuse a token until ~80 % of `expires_in`.
+- **JWKS rotation is transparent.** The middleware auto-refreshes its JWKS cache when the IdP rotates keys. Clients don't need to do anything.
+- **Revocation is generally not per-token** with `client_credentials`. If you need real-time revocation, set `requireTokenIntrospection: true` on the middleware and the IdP is consulted on every cache miss.
+- **`scope` vs `audience`.** Scope says *what the client may do*; audience says *which service the token is for*. The middleware enforces audience; the backend service should enforce scope.
+- **Secret hygiene.** Store `client_secret` in a secrets manager (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Kubernetes `Secret`). For higher assurance, switch the client to `private_key_jwt` (no shared secret at all).
+
+### Quickest validation loop
+
+```bash
+# 1. Mint
+TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST https://issuer.example.com/oauth/token \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id":"…","client_secret":"…","audience":"https://api.example.com"}' \
+  | jq -r .access_token)
+
+# 2. Inspect claims to confirm aud/iss/exp match the middleware config
+echo "$TOKEN" | cut -d. -f2 | base64 -d 2>/dev/null | jq
+
+# 3. Hit the protected route
+curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://api.example.com/protected
+```
+
+`HTTP/1.1 200` with `X-Forwarded-User` on the backend confirms the loop works end-to-end. `401` with `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"` plus a middleware debug log explaining the rejection (audience mismatch, ID token presented, `iat` outside the 24h window, etc.) confirms the hardening is firing as designed.
+
+## Threat model and design rules
+
+Bearer authentication has materially different security properties from
+cookie sessions: no `HttpOnly`/`Secure`/`SameSite` shielding, the token is
+visible in headers and logs, and it's easier to exfiltrate. The bearer path
+treats every one of these as a first-class concern.
+
+| Property | Behaviour | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Default state | `enableBearerAuth=false` | Bearer is opt-in; existing deployments observe no change. |
+| Audience | **Mandatory.** Startup fails if `audience` is empty when bearer is enabled. | Eliminates the "token issued for service B accepted by service A" confusion attack. |
+| Token format | JWT by default. An opaque (non-JWT) token is accepted only when both `requireTokenIntrospection=true` and `allowOpaqueTokens=true`. | JWTs carry their own signature, audience and issuer; an opaque token has no local verification, so introspection must be turned on explicitly for both purposes before one is trusted. |
+| Opaque token client binding | When `audience` equals `clientID` (the common single-app case), the introspection response must carry a matching `client_id`, or an `aud` that contains `clientID`. | RFC 7662 §2.2 leaves client scoping to the authorization server's own policy. Without this check, any active token from the same IdP — including one issued to a different client — would authenticate. |
+| Opaque token `iat` requirement | The introspection response for an opaque token must carry `iat`. A response with no `iat` is always rejected: `maxTokenAgeSeconds` has no "disabled" value — `0` or unset maps to a 24h default (see the config-reference row below) — so the age bound is always in effect. | Mirrors `enforceIatAge` on the JWT path: with an age bound configured, a token with nothing to bound its age against must fail closed, not skip the check. |
+| Opaque token logout scope | A `sid`-only (front-channel) logout revokes an opaque bearer token only when the introspection response itself carries a `sid`. RFC 7662 does not define `sid`; when the IdP's response omits it, only a `sub`-based (backchannel) logout reaches the opaque token. | The middleware can only match invalidation against fields the introspection response actually returns. |
+| `alg` allowlist | Hard-pinned asymmetric: `RS256/384/512`, `PS256/384/512`, `ES256/384/512`. Checked **before** any JWKS fetch. | Denies `alg=none` and `alg=HS*` probes; prevents attacker noise from amplifying into JWKS round-trips. |
+| `kid` hardening | Max 256 bytes; charset `[A-Za-z0-9._\-=]`. Checked **before** JWKS fetch. | Prevents cache-key explosion / pathological-`kid` JWKS amplification. |
+| Token type | ID tokens are explicitly rejected (`nonce` claim, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use=id`, scope/aud heuristics — reuses the existing `detectTokenType` helper). | ID tokens are not API credentials; treating them as such is classic token confusion. |
+| Multi-audience | When `aud` is an array of length > 1, the token must carry `azp == clientID`. | OIDC §2 hardening against tokens minted for one client being replayed by another. |
+| `iat` upper-age | Rejects tokens older than `maxTokenAgeSeconds` (default 24h). | Bounds clock-manipulation / forever-token abuse, even if `exp` is far in the future. |
+| Identifier claim | `bearerIdentifierClaim` (default `"sub"`). Resolved value drives `X-Forwarded-User`. | Decoupled from the cookie path's `UserIdentifierClaim` (default `email`) so the M2M flow can never accidentally trust an unverified email. |
+| Identifier sanitisation | Length cap (`maxIdentifierLength`, default 256). Rejects control chars, Unicode bidi-overrides (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069), and the delimiters `, ; =`. | Defence in depth against downstream header injection / log injection / admin-UI spoofing. |
+| JTI replay marking | No request path writes an access-token JTI to a replay cache (the only JTI replay check left is for backchannel logout tokens). Revocation still works without it: `RevokeToken` (called from logout) blacklists the raw token and, for a JWT, its `jti`; both the JWT and the opaque bearer path check that blacklist — raw token always, plus `jti` when the introspection response carries one — before accepting the token. | Revocation without replay-detection overhead: a legitimately reused, non-revoked bearer token is never falsely flagged as a replay. |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie | **Cookie wins by default.** Flip to bearer-wins with `bearerOverridesCookie=true`. | Safer against browser/extension/proxy bearer injection scenarios. The cookie is the authoritative authenticator when present. |
+| `Authorization` strip | `stripAuthorizationHeader=true` by default. | Keeps the raw token out of downstream services and their logs. |
+| Excluded URLs | `Authorization` is stripped on excluded paths when `enableBearerAuth=true`. | Prevents bearer leakage into public health/metrics endpoint logs and prevents recon via excluded paths. |
+| Per-IP throttle | After `bearerFailureThreshold` consecutive 401s from one source IP within `bearerFailureWindowSeconds`, further bearer requests from that IP return `429 Too Many Requests` + `Retry-After` for `bearerFailurePenaltySeconds`. | Limits offline-guessing-style attacks and protects the shared rate-limiter / JWKS endpoint. |
+| Optional introspection | `requireTokenIntrospection=true` calls RFC 7662 introspection on every cache miss. Introspection result is cached briefly. Only an HTTP 200 response with `active=false` returns `401`; any other endpoint failure (network error, or any other status including 401/403/408/429) returns `503`. | RFC 7662 §2.3 defines a 401/403 from the introspection endpoint as the resource's own client credentials being rejected, not a statement about the presented token, so it must never be read as "token revoked". |
+| Response shape | `401 Unauthorized` with generic body. `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"` per RFC 6750 §3 (toggleable via `bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate`). `403` for roles/groups denial. `429` for throttle. `503` for introspection-endpoint outage. | Auditable from spec to code; reason categories never leak into the response body. |
+| Logging | Failure reason + identifier hash (SHA-256 truncated to 8 hex chars) logged at debug. Raw tokens are never logged. | Audit trail without secrets-in-logs. |
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+| Field | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `enableBearerAuth` | `false` | Master switch for the bearer path. |
+| `audience` | (unset) | **Required** when `enableBearerAuth=true`. Reuses the existing global `audience` field. |
+| `bearerIdentifierClaim` | `"sub"` | JWT claim used as the principal identifier. `"email"` is rejected at startup. |
+| `stripAuthorizationHeader` | `true` | Remove the `Authorization` header before forwarding to the backend. Disable only when a downstream needs to re-verify the bearer. |
+| `bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate` | `true` | Include `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="..."` on 401 responses (RFC 6750 §3). Disable to reduce recon signal. |
+| `bearerOverridesCookie` | `false` | Cookie wins when both are present (default). Set `true` for the AWS/GCP/Kubernetes bearer-wins convention. |
+| `maxTokenAgeSeconds` | `86400` | Upper bound on `iat` claim age. `0` and unset both map to the 24h default — there is no value that disables the check. A JWT or opaque-introspection response with no `iat` is rejected once this bound is in effect, which it always is. |
+| `maxIdentifierLength` | `256` | Length cap for the post-sanitisation identifier. |
+| `bearerFailureThreshold` | `20` | Consecutive 401s from one IP that trip the throttle. |
+| `bearerFailureWindowSeconds` | `60` | Rolling window over which 401s are counted. |
+| `bearerFailurePenaltySeconds` | `60` | Duration of the 429 penalty box after the threshold trips. |
+| `requireTokenIntrospection` | `false` | Call RFC 7662 introspection on every cache miss. Adds per-request IdP latency. |
+| `allowOpaqueTokens` | `false` | Accept an opaque (non-JWT) bearer token, introspected via `requireTokenIntrospection`. Both flags are required together; this flag alone has no effect on the bearer path. |
+
+## What the bearer path does NOT do
+
+- **Human-user / browser flows.** The bearer path is M2M-only in this
+  iteration. Browser SPAs that want to attach a bearer to fetch calls work
+  if your backend treats them as machine clients, but the spec defaults are
+  tuned for service-to-service traffic.
+- **Opaque access tokens by default.** Tokens must be JWTs unless both
+  `requireTokenIntrospection=true` and `allowOpaqueTokens=true` are set. For a
+  JWT, introspection stays a revocation overlay on top of local verification,
+  not a substitute for it; an opaque token has no local verification, so
+  introspection is its only check.
+- **`email_verified` enforcement.** The bearer path rejects `email` as the
+  identifier claim at startup precisely because `email_verified` is not
+  enforced in this iteration. Adding human-user bearer support is a
+  follow-up that must include this check.
+- **mTLS / API keys.** Out of scope. The `principal` abstraction enables
+  adding these later as additional auth methods that produce a principal
+  for the shared `forwardAuthorized` pipeline.
+- **SSE / WebSocket bypass with bearer.** Bypass paths keep their existing
+  cookie-only behaviour; bearer headers are ignored on those endpoints.
+  Documented limitation; widen by removing the bypass if you need bearer on
+  streaming endpoints.
+
+## Operational guidance
+
+- **Always set `strictAudienceValidation: true` when bearer is enabled.**
+  Startup logs a recommendation if you don't.
+- **Set a tight `maxTokenAgeSeconds`** for environments where tokens are
+  expected to be minted frequently — the default 24h is conservative.
+- **Enable `requireTokenIntrospection`** if your IdP supports it and
+  revocation latency matters. Bearer-path introspection caches results for
+  a short window per token.
+- **Also set `allowOpaqueTokens=true`** if your clients present opaque
+  (non-JWT) access tokens. `requireTokenIntrospection` alone does not admit
+  an opaque token; both flags are required together. Confirm your IdP's
+  introspection response carries `client_id` or `aud` so the client-binding
+  check above can pass.
+- **Monitor 429s.** Sustained 429 traffic indicates either a buggy client
+  loop or an active credential-stuffing attempt. The throttle is your
+  primary signal for both.
+- **`stripAuthorizationHeader=false` extends the token's blast radius** to
+  every downstream service that sees the request. Treat those services'
+  logs as token stores.
+- **Bearer reuse is normal.** Don't enable per-token rate limiting; that's
+  what `bearerFailureThreshold` is for (per-IP, not per-token).
+- **Cookie-wins is the safer default.** Only flip `bearerOverridesCookie`
+  if you control all clients and have audited that none of them present a
+  cookie alongside a bearer they don't intend to authenticate with.
+
+## Failure response matrix

+## Known follow-ups (deferred)
+
+These are documented as future work, not blockers:
+
+- **Human-user bearer with `email_verified` enforcement.** Requires
+  decoupling the email-claim guard from the startup rejection and adding a
+  per-request `email_verified=true` check.
+- **Introspection respects `client_assertion`.** The existing introspection
+  helper uses `client_secret_basic` only; operators on `private_key_jwt`
+  will see introspection silently use basic auth.
+- **Per-route bearer configuration.** Single middleware-wide setting in this
+  iteration.

+## Required Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description | Example |
+|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
+| `providerURL` | string | Base URL of the OIDC provider | `https://accounts.google.com` |
+| `clientID` | string | OAuth 2.0 client identifier | `1234567890.apps.googleusercontent.com` |
+| `clientSecret` | string | OAuth 2.0 client secret. Required when `clientAuthMethod` is unset, `client_secret_post`, or `client_secret_basic`. Optional when `clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt`. | `your-client-secret` |

+
+### Basic Configuration Example
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-auth
+spec:
+  plugin:
+    traefikoidc:
+      providerURL: https://accounts.google.com
+      clientID: your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
+      clientSecret: your-client-secret
+      sessionEncryptionKey: your-32-byte-encryption-key-here
+      callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+```
+
+---
+
+## Client Authentication
+
+The middleware supports three client authentication methods at the token and
+revocation endpoints. The default is `client_secret_post` (current behavior);
+`private_key_jwt` is opt-in and backwards compatible.
+
+| Method | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `client_secret_post` | yes | `client_id` + `client_secret` in the request body. |
+| `client_secret_basic` | no | RFC 6749 §2.3.1 — `client_id` + `client_secret` in the `Authorization: Basic` header (form-urlencoded then base64); not in the body. |
+| `private_key_jwt` | no | RFC 7523 §2.2 — plugin signs a short-lived JWT with a private key and sends it as `client_assertion`. |
+
+Select via `clientAuthMethod`:
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+```
+
+### client_secret_post
+
+Default. The plugin sends `client_id` and `client_secret` as form parameters
+in the token / revocation request body. No additional configuration required.
+
+### private_key_jwt
+
+Asymmetric client authentication per
+[RFC 7523 §2.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7523). Use this when your
+IdP enforces short secret TTLs, when policy mandates secretless clients, or
+when you want to avoid distributing a shared secret to the proxy.
+
+For each token / revocation request the plugin builds a JWS with:
+
+- `iss` = `sub` = `clientID`
+- `aud` = token endpoint URL
+- `iat` = now, `exp` = now + 60s
+- `jti` = random hex per request
+- `kid` header = `clientAssertionKeyID`
+
+**Required fields:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `clientAuthMethod` | string | `client_secret_post` | Set to `private_key_jwt`. |
+| `clientAssertionPrivateKey` | string | none | Inline PEM private key. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionKeyPath`. PKCS#8, PKCS#1, and SEC1 formats accepted. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyPath` | string | none | Path to PEM private key on disk. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionPrivateKey`. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyID` | string | none | `kid` header inserted in the JWS. Must match the public key registered with the IdP. |
+| `clientAssertionAlg` | string | `RS256` | One of `RS256`, `RS384`, `RS512`, `PS256`, `PS384`, `PS512`, `ES256`, `ES384`, `ES512`. |
+
+When `clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt`, `clientSecret` is optional.
+
+With `clientAssertionAlg` set to `RS256`, `RS384`, `RS512`, `PS256`, `PS384`,
+or `PS512`, the RSA key must be 2048 bits or larger (RFC 7518 §3.3). The
+plugin rejects a smaller key at startup instead of at every token exchange.
+There is no override for this check.
+
+**Example — inline PEM:**
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-auth
+spec:
+  plugin:
+    traefikoidc:
+      providerURL: https://idp.example.com
+      clientID: my-client-id
+      sessionEncryptionKey: your-32-byte-encryption-key-here
+      callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+      clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+      clientAssertionKeyID: key-2026-01
+      clientAssertionAlg: RS256
+      clientAssertionPrivateKey: |
+        -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
+        MIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKcwggSjAgEAAoIBAQC7VJTUt9Us8cKj
+        MZj4ev7QnMa1mYV3Kx1jRkH5YwXQ7N2J2j8K5pP6h0oZmXq1yQv4r8wZb3sH9D2k
+        ... (truncated) ...
+        -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
+```
+
+**Example — key on disk:**
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt
+clientAssertionKeyPath: /etc/traefik/oidc/client-key.pem
+clientAssertionKeyID: key-2026-01
+clientAssertionAlg: RS256
+```
+
+**Generating an RS256 key with OpenSSL:**
+
+```bash
+openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 \
+  -out client-key.pem
+openssl rsa -in client-key.pem -pubout -out client-pub.pem
+```
+
+Register `client-pub.pem` (or its JWK form) with your IdP under the same
+`kid` you set in `clientAssertionKeyID`.
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- The private key is parsed once at plugin startup. Key rotation requires a
+  Traefik reload.
+- Assertion lifetime is fixed at 60 seconds.
+- A fresh random `jti` is generated per request.
+- The `aud` claim is the token endpoint URL (from discovery).
+- Tracking issue:
+  [#135](https://github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/issues/135).
+
+### client_secret_basic
+
+Per [RFC 6749 §2.3.1][rfc6749-2-3-1], the plugin sends the client credentials
+in an `Authorization: Basic` header instead of the body. Both halves
+(`client_id`, `client_secret`) are form-urlencoded individually, joined with
+a colon, then base64-encoded. Use this when your IdP requires Basic auth at
+the token endpoint and rejects credentials in the body.
+
+```yaml
+clientAuthMethod: client_secret_basic
+clientID: your-client-id
+clientSecret: your-client-secret
+```
+
+[rfc6749-2-3-1]: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-2.3.1

+
+## Optional Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `logoutURL` | string | `callbackURL + "/logout"` | Path for logout requests |
+| `postLogoutRedirectURI` | string | `/` | Redirect URL after logout |
+| `logLevel` | string | `info` | Logging verbosity (`debug`, `info`, `error`) |
+| `forceHTTPS` | bool | `true` | Force HTTPS for redirect URIs (set `false` only for plaintext HTTP local dev) |
+| `rateLimit` | int | `100` | Maximum requests per second |
+| `excludedURLs` | []string | none | Paths that bypass authentication, matched at a path-segment or file-extension boundary |
+| `revocationURL` | string | auto-discovered | Token revocation endpoint. Takes precedence over the discovered value. See [Logout Behavior](#logout-behavior) for what happens at logout when this is set. |
+| `oidcEndSessionURL` | string | auto-discovered | Provider's end session endpoint. Takes precedence over the discovered value. |
+| `introspectionURL` | string | auto-discovered | RFC 7662 token introspection endpoint. Set this when your IdP omits `introspection_endpoint` from discovery. Takes precedence over the discovered value. |
+| `enablePKCE` | bool | `false` | Enable PKCE for authorization code flow |
+| `minimalHeaders` | bool | `false` | Reduce forwarded headers |
+| `clientAuthMethod` | string | `client_secret_post` | Client authentication method at token/revocation endpoints. One of `client_secret_post`, `client_secret_basic`, `private_key_jwt`. See [Client Authentication](#client-authentication). |
+| `clientAssertionPrivateKey` | string | none | Inline PEM private key for `private_key_jwt`. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionKeyPath`. PKCS#8 / PKCS#1 / SEC1. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyPath` | string | none | Path to PEM private key on disk for `private_key_jwt`. Mutually exclusive with `clientAssertionPrivateKey`. |
+| `clientAssertionKeyID` | string | none | `kid` header for `private_key_jwt` assertions. Required when `clientAuthMethod: private_key_jwt`. |
+| `clientAssertionAlg` | string | `RS256` | Signing algorithm for `private_key_jwt`. One of `RS256/384/512`, `PS256/384/512`, `ES256/384/512`. |
+| `extraAuthParams` | map | none | Extra query parameters appended to the authorization request (e.g. re-selective prompt). |
+| `perSourceLoginRateLimit` | int | `0` (off) | Throttle OIDC auth events (callback + login initiation) per external client source, in auth events per minute. Keys and classifies the source by RemoteAddr only, never `X-Forwarded-For`, so a client cannot spoof it. Internal/loopback sources are never throttled. RemoteAddr is the TCP peer. Behind a load balancer or CDN, the limiter keys on the proxy address: a private address is never throttled, and a public address puts every client in one shared bucket. |
+| `stripAuthCookies` | bool | `false` | Strip OIDC session cookies from the hop to the backend (mitigates HTTP 431). |
+| `enableBackchannelLogout` | bool | `false` | Enable OIDC back-channel logout (IdP-initiated, server-to-server). |
+| `backchannelLogoutURL` | string | derived | Back-channel logout endpoint path. |
+| `enableFrontchannelLogout` | bool | `false` | Enable OIDC front-channel logout (browser iframe logout). |
+| `frontchannelLogoutURL` | string | derived | Front-channel logout endpoint path. |
+| `caCertPath` / `caCertPEM` | string | none | Custom CA bundle for OIDC TLS verification (filesystem path, or inline PEM). Mutually exclusive with `insecureSkipVerify`. |
+| `insecureSkipVerify` | bool | `false` | Disable TLS verification for the OIDC client (load balancer / mTLS edge). Emits a loud warning at startup. |
+
+### Logout Behavior
+
+A request to `logoutURL` clears the session, redirects the browser, and
+also revokes the session's tokens.
+
+1. The plugin blacklists the access, ID, and refresh tokens locally, so this
+   instance rejects them immediately.
+2. If `revocationURL` is set or discovered, the plugin also revokes the
+   access token and the refresh token at the provider (RFC 7009). Each
+   revocation call times out after 3 seconds. The two calls run one after
+   the other, so together they can delay the logout redirect by up to about
+   6 seconds. A revocation failure logs at error level and does not stop
+   the redirect. Deployments with no revocation endpoint log nothing for
+   this step.
+3. The plugin redirects to `oidcEndSessionURL` (RP-initiated logout) only
+   when `oidcEndSessionURL` is set or discovered and the session still
+   holds an ID token. Otherwise it redirects to `postLogoutRedirectURI`.
+4. When the plugin uses `oidcEndSessionURL`, it also sends
+   `post_logout_redirect_uri`. An absolute `postLogoutRedirectURI` value is
+   sent unchanged. A relative value, or the default `/`, is joined to the
+   origin of the redirect URI recorded at login. The plugin does not use
+   the logout request's `Host` header for this, because a client can spoof
+   it. The plugin omits the parameter only for a session created before
+   that origin was recorded. The provider then decides where to send the
+   user.
+
+### TLS Termination at Load Balancer
+
+`forceHTTPS` defaults to `true`, so redirect URIs always use `https://`. This is
+the correct default behind any TLS-terminating load balancer (AWS ALB, Google
+Cloud LB, Azure App Gateway) — `X-Forwarded-Proto` cannot be trusted (ALB may
+overwrite it).
+
+Set `forceHTTPS: false` only when you serve OIDC over plaintext HTTP (local
+dev). Otherwise leave it at default.
+
+### Streaming Endpoints (SSE and WebSocket)
+
+The middleware automatically bypasses the OIDC redirect for two request kinds
+that browsers cannot follow a 302 on:
+
+| Bypass | Triggered by |
+|--------|--------------|
+| Server-Sent Events (SSE) | `Accept: text/event-stream` |
+| WebSocket upgrade | `Upgrade: websocket` + `Connection: upgrade` (RFC 6455) |
+
+These requests do **not** require any explicit configuration — they are
+handled implicitly. However, the bypass is **not** unauthenticated:
+
+- A valid, encrypted session cookie is required. Requests without one are
+  rejected (the connection cannot proceed to the backend).
+- The session cookie is sealed with `sessionEncryptionKey`, so the
+  `authenticated` flag cannot be forged.
+- Validation is cookie-only — no JWK fetch / signature verification — so
+  streaming endpoints keep working when the OIDC provider is briefly
+  unavailable.
+- The user identifier from the session is forwarded as `X-Forwarded-User`
+  (and `X-Auth-Request-User` unless `minimalHeaders: true`).
+
+For browser clients, the user must complete the normal OIDC flow on a
+regular HTTP page first; the resulting session cookie is then reused on the
+SSE / WebSocket connection.

+
+## Security Options
+
+### Audience Validation
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `audience` | string | `clientID`, or `resource` if set | Expected audience for access token validation |
+| `resource` | string | none | RFC 8707 resource indicator, alternative to `audience` for supporting IdPs — see [docs/RFC8707.md](RFC8707.md) |
+| `strictAudienceValidation` | bool | `false` | Reject sessions with audience mismatch |
+| `allowOpaqueTokens` | bool | `false` | Enable opaque token support via RFC 7662 |
+| `requireTokenIntrospection` | bool | `false` | Require introspection for opaque tokens |
+
+#### Production Security Configuration
+
+```yaml
+audience: "https://my-api.example.com"
+strictAudienceValidation: true
+```
+
+#### RFC 8707 Resource Indicators
+
+```yaml
+resource: "https://api.example.com"
+```
+
+Alternative to `audience` for IdPs that implement [RFC 8707](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8707).
+See [docs/RFC8707.md](RFC8707.md) for exactly what request is made, why only a single
+resource is supported, and current per-provider support.
+
+#### Opaque Token Support
+
+```yaml
+allowOpaqueTokens: true
+requireTokenIntrospection: true
+strictAudienceValidation: true
+```
+
+### Other Security Options
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `disableReplayDetection` | bool | `false` | Disable JTI-based replay attack detection |
+| `allowPrivateIPAddresses` | bool | `false` | Allow private IPs in provider URLs |
+| `allowUnauthenticatedPreflight` | bool | `false` | Bypass auth for a genuine CORS preflight (`OPTIONS` with `Origin` + `Access-Control-Request-Method`); response body is still discarded. Default requires auth for every `OPTIONS` request. |
+| `streamingRefresh` | bool | `false` | Refresh an expired session on SSE/WebSocket requests. Reject the request with `401` when the IdP revokes the grant (`invalid_grant`). Forward it as before when the IdP cannot be reached. |
+
+### Discovered Endpoint Validation
+
+When `providerURL` is `https://`, the plugin drops any endpoint the
+`.well-known/openid-configuration` document advertises as plain `http://`
+(authorization, token, jwks_uri, revocation, end_session, introspection,
+registration). A dropped credential-bearing endpoint would otherwise send
+the client secret or a token over an unauthenticated channel. There is no
+configuration flag to disable this check.
+
+A dropped endpoint logs an `ERROR`-level line naming it, and a dropped
+`token`, `jwks_uri`, or `authorization` endpoint — the three logins cannot
+function without — additionally logs a `SECURITY:`-prefixed line, because a
+blank endpoint otherwise fails every login with no other signal:
+
+```
+SECURITY: dropped the discovered token endpoint "http://idp.example.com/token": it is plaintext http while providerURL "https://idp.example.com" is https, and this check has no override; requests needing the token endpoint will fail until the provider serves it over https
+```
+
+The `revocationURL`, `oidcEndSessionURL` and `introspectionURL` config
+fields can supply those three endpoints directly, and when you set one of
+them, a plaintext-`http://` drop of the matching discovered endpoint does
+not break anything — the override replaces the endpoint right after
+sanitize runs and the `SECURITY:` line does not fire for it.
+
+Leave the override unset, though, and a drop is exactly as terminal as it is
+for `token`, `jwks_uri` and `authorization`: RP-initiated logout falls back
+to a local-only redirect (the IdP session stays alive), provider-side
+revocation is skipped, or `requireTokenIntrospection` breaks — all with no
+signal beyond the generic `ERROR` line. So `revocation`, `end_session` and
+`introspection` log the same `SECURITY:` line too, whenever the matching
+override is not set. `registration` never logs the `SECURITY:` line, under
+any configuration — it is not covered by this check. Dynamic Client
+Registration reads its own, separate override
+(`dynamicClientRegistration.registrationEndpoint`), independently of this
+discovery step, but only when you set it: leave it unset and a
+plaintext-`http://` drop of the discovered registration endpoint makes
+Dynamic Client Registration fail with only the generic `ERROR` line above —
+no `SECURITY:`-tagged signal, unlike `revocation`, `end_session` and
+`introspection`.
+
+`token`, `jwks_uri` and `authorization` log the `SECURITY:` line
+unconditionally — these three have no config field that can supply them at
+all, so a drop always breaks login regardless of any other setting.
+
+If your IdP's discovery document ever advertises an `http://` endpoint under
+an `https://` `providerURL`, fix the discovery document (for example, a
+TLS-terminating proxy in front of the IdP that does not forward
+`X-Forwarded-Proto`) rather than relying on the plugin to relax the check.
+
+### Bearer-token (M2M) authentication
+
+Opt-in path that accepts `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` instead of the cookie
+session flow. M2M-only, default off, audience-mandatory. See
+[docs/BEARER_AUTH.md](BEARER_AUTH.md) for the threat model and operational
+guidance.
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enableBearerAuth` | bool | `false` | Master switch. Startup fails if true with empty `audience` or with `bearerIdentifierClaim=email`. |
+| `bearerIdentifierClaim` | string | `"sub"` | JWT claim used as the principal identifier. `"email"` is rejected at startup. |
+| `stripAuthorizationHeader` | bool | `true` | Strip `Authorization` from forwarded requests after successful bearer auth. |
+| `bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate` | bool | `true` | Emit RFC 6750 `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="..."` hints on 401. |
+| `bearerOverridesCookie` | bool | `false` | Cookie wins when both bearer and cookie are present (default). Set true for bearer-wins. |
+| `maxTokenAgeSeconds` | int64 | `86400` | Upper bound on `iat` claim age (24h). `0` and unset both map to the 24h default; no value disables the check, and a bearer token or opaque-introspection response without `iat` is rejected. |
+| `maxIdentifierLength` | int | `256` | Length cap on the sanitised principal identifier. |
+| `bearerFailureThreshold` | int | `20` | Consecutive 401s from one source IP that trip the throttle. |
+| `bearerFailureWindowSeconds` | int | `60` | Rolling window for counting 401s. |
+| `bearerFailurePenaltySeconds` | int | `60` | 429 + `Retry-After` duration after the threshold trips. |
+
+---
+
+## Session Management
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `sessionMaxAge` | int | `86400` (24h) | Maximum session age in seconds |
+| `refreshGracePeriodSeconds` | int | `60` | Seconds before expiry to attempt refresh |
+| `maxRefreshTokenAgeSeconds` | int | `21600` | Heuristic max age (in seconds) of a stored refresh token. Once exceeded, requests treat the RT as expired up front (returns 401 to AJAX, triggers full re-auth on navigations) instead of grant-spamming the IdP with `invalid_grant` retries. IdPs do not advertise RT TTL on the wire, so this is intentionally a conservative heuristic — tune to match your provider. Set `0` to disable. Default `21600` (6h). |
+| `cookieDomain` | string | auto-detected | Domain for session cookies |
+| `cookiePrefix` | string | `_oidc_raczylo_` | Prefix for cookie names |
+| `cookiePath` | string | `/` | Path prefix for session cookies. Set it to the middleware's path (for example `/app`) so the browser does not send OIDC cookies to unprotected paths (avoids HTTP 431). |
+
+### Multi-Subdomain Setup
+
+```yaml
+cookieDomain: .example.com  # Share cookies across subdomains
+```
+
+### Multiple Middleware Instances
+
+When running multiple middleware instances with different authorization requirements, use unique prefixes:
+
+```yaml
+# User authentication middleware

+

+
+## Headers Configuration
+
+### Default Headers
+
+The middleware sets these headers for downstream services:
+
+| Header | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `X-Forwarded-User` | User's email address |
+| `X-User-Groups` | Comma-separated user groups |
+| `X-User-Roles` | Comma-separated user roles |
+| `X-Auth-Request-Redirect` | Original request URI |
+| `X-Auth-Request-User` | User's email address |
+| `X-Auth-Request-Token` | User's ID token |
+
+### Minimal Headers Mode
+
+For "431 Request Header Fields Too Large" errors:
+
+```yaml
+minimalHeaders: true  # Only forwards X-Forwarded-User
+```
+
+### Custom Templated Headers
+
+```yaml
+headers:
+  - name: "X-User-Email"
+    value: "{{.Claims.email}}"
+  - name: "X-User-ID"
+    value: "{{.Claims.sub}}"
+  - name: "Authorization"
+    value: "Bearer {{.AccessToken}}"
+  - name: "X-User-Roles"
+    value: "{{range $i, $e := .Claims.roles}}{{if $i}},{{end}}{{$e}}{{end}}"
+```
+
+**Template Variables:**
+- `{{.Claims.field}}` - ID token claims (only whitelisted fields; see below)
+- `{{.AccessToken}}` - Raw access token
+- `{{.IdToken}}` / `{{.IDToken}}` - Raw ID token (both spellings work)
+- `{{.RefreshToken}}` - Raw refresh token
+
+**Important — file provider only:** Traefik's file provider runs every dynamic
+configuration file through Go templating before the plugin sees it, so plain
+`{{ }}` fails there with `can't evaluate field AccessToken in type bool`.
+Escape with a raw string: ``value: "{{`{{.Claims.email}}`}}"``. All other
+providers (Kubernetes CRD, Docker labels, Consul, ...) pass the value through
+untouched — use the plain form shown above. Do not use quadruple braces
+(`{{{{ }}}}`); no configuration path collapses them, and template validation
+rejects them (issues #149, #151).
+
+**Validation and the claims whitelist.** Header templates are parsed and
+validated when the middleware loads; an invalid or disallowed template stops the
+middleware from starting (the route then returns Traefik's
+`invalid handler type: <nil>`). To prevent a template from accidentally
+forwarding raw tokens or sensitive claims, only a fixed set of claim fields may
+be emitted — the standard OIDC claims plus common provider claims (`email`,
+`name`, `given_name`, `family_name`, `preferred_username`, `sub`, `groups`,
+`roles`, `internal_role`, `role`, `department`, `organization`, `realm_access`,
+`resource_access`, `oid`, `tid`, `upn`, `hd`, `picture`, `locale`, `zoneinfo`,
+`phone_number`, `email_verified`, `updated_at`; the authoritative list is
+`safeClaimsFields` in `template_validation.go`). Rejected: rendering the whole
+context (`{{.}}`, `{{$}}`) or the whole claims map (`{{.Claims}}`), any claim not
+on the list, functions other than `get`/`default`, and `range`/`with` that do not
+target a specific listed claim (e.g. `{{range .Claims}}` is rejected; `{{range
+.Claims.groups}}` is allowed).
+
+**`allowedClaims`** extends the whitelist for claims your provider issues that
+are not built in:
+
+```yaml
+allowedClaims:
+  - employee_id
+  - cost_center
+headers:
+  - name: "X-Employee-Id"
+    value: "{{.Claims.employee_id}}"
+```
+
+Listed names apply to both direct access (`{{.Claims.employee_id}}`) and
+`get` (`{{get .Claims "employee_id"}}`). Subfields of a whitelisted map-valued
+claim (e.g. `realm_access.roles`) are already accessible without listing them
+individually.

+## Security Headers
+
+### Security Profiles
+
+| Profile | Use Case | Security Level |
+|---------|----------|----------------|
+| `default` | Standard web apps | High |
+| `strict` | Maximum security | Very High |
+| `development` | Local development | Medium |
+| `api` | API endpoints | High |
+| `custom` | Custom requirements | Configurable |
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```yaml
+securityHeaders:
+  enabled: true
+  profile: "default"
+```
+
+### API with CORS
+
+```yaml
+securityHeaders:
+  enabled: true
+  profile: "api"
+  corsEnabled: true
+  corsAllowedOrigins:
+    - "https://your-frontend.com"
+    - "https://*.example.com"
+  corsAllowCredentials: true
+```
+
+### Custom Security Configuration
+
+```yaml
+securityHeaders:
+  enabled: true
+  profile: "custom"
+
+  # Content Security Policy
+  contentSecurityPolicy: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'"
+
+  # HSTS
+  strictTransportSecurity: true
+  strictTransportSecurityMaxAge: 31536000
+  strictTransportSecuritySubdomains: true
+  strictTransportSecurityPreload: true
+
+  # Frame and Content Protection
+  frameOptions: "DENY"
+  contentTypeOptions: "nosniff"
+  xssProtection: "1; mode=block"
+  referrerPolicy: "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
+
+  # CORS
+  corsEnabled: true
+  corsAllowedOrigins: ["https://app.example.com"]
+  corsAllowedMethods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "OPTIONS"]
+  corsAllowedHeaders: ["Authorization", "Content-Type"]
+  corsAllowCredentials: true
+  corsMaxAge: 86400
+
+  # Custom Headers
+  customHeaders:
+    X-Custom-Header: "value"
+
+  # Server Identification
+  disableServerHeader: true
+  disablePoweredByHeader: true
+```
+
+### CORS Origin Patterns
+
+```yaml
+corsAllowedOrigins:
+  - "https://example.com"        # Exact match
+  - "https://*.example.com"      # Subdomain wildcard
+  - "http://localhost:*"         # Port wildcard (development)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Scope Configuration
+
+### Default Behavior (Append Mode)
+
+```yaml
+scopes:
+  - roles
+  - custom_scope
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "email", "roles", "custom_scope"]
+```
+
+### Override Mode
+
+```yaml
+overrideScopes: true
+scopes:
+  - openid
+  - profile
+  - custom_scope
+# Result: ["openid", "profile", "custom_scope"]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Options
+
+### Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)
+
+Dynamic Client Registration allows the middleware to automatically register itself with the OIDC provider, eliminating the need to manually create client credentials.
+
+**Basic Configuration (Single Instance):**
+
+```yaml
+dynamicClientRegistration:
+  enabled: true
+  initialAccessToken: "your-token"  # Optional, if provider requires it
+  persistCredentials: true
+  credentialsFile: "/tmp/oidc-credentials.json"
+  clientMetadata:
+    redirect_uris:
+      - "https://your-app.com/oauth2/callback"
+    client_name: "My Application"
+    application_type: "web"
+    grant_types:
+      - "authorization_code"
+      - "refresh_token"
+```
+
+**Multi-Replica Deployment (Kubernetes):**
+
+For Kubernetes deployments with multiple replicas, use Redis storage to share credentials across all instances and prevent registration race conditions:
+
+```yaml
+dynamicClientRegistration:
+  enabled: true
+  persistCredentials: true
+  storageBackend: "redis"  # Share credentials via Redis
+  redisKeyPrefix: "myapp:dcr:"  # Optional custom prefix
+  clientMetadata:
+    redirect_uris:
+      - "https://your-app.com/oauth2/callback"
+    client_name: "My Application"
+
+redis:
+  enabled: true
+  address: "redis:6379"
+  cacheMode: "redis"
+```
+
+**Storage Backend Options:**
+
+| Backend | Description | Use Case |
+|---------|-------------|----------|
+| `file` | Store credentials in local file | Single instance deployments |
+| `redis` | Store credentials in Redis | Multi-replica Kubernetes deployments |
+| `auto` | Use Redis if available, fallback to file | Flexible deployments (default) |
+
+### Multi-Replica Deployment
+
+Without Redis, disable replay detection:
+
+```yaml
+disableReplayDetection: true
+```
+
+With Redis (recommended):
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  enabled: true
+  address: "redis:6379"
+  cacheMode: "hybrid"
+```
+
+See [REDIS.md](REDIS.md) for complete Redis configuration.
+
+---
+
+## Kubernetes Secrets
+
+Reference secrets instead of hardcoding sensitive values:
+
+```yaml
+providerURL: urn:k8s:secret:oidc-secret:ISSUER
+clientID: urn:k8s:secret:oidc-secret:CLIENT_ID
+clientSecret: urn:k8s:secret:oidc-secret:SECRET
+```
+
+Create the secret:
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic oidc-secret \
+  --from-literal=ISSUER=https://accounts.google.com \
+  --from-literal=CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
+  --from-literal=SECRET=your-client-secret \
+  -n traefik
+```
+
+---
+
+## Environment Variable Naming
+
+**Important:** Avoid using "API" as a substring in environment variable names when using `${VAR}` syntax in Traefik configuration. Traefik reserves `TRAEFIK_API_*` variables and the substring may cause conflicts.
+
+```yaml
+# Bad - may cause issues
+sessionEncryptionKey: ${OIDC_SECRET_API}
+
+# Good
+sessionEncryptionKey: ${OIDC_SECRET_SVC}
+```

+# Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)
+
+The middleware can register itself with an OIDC provider at startup instead of
+using a pre-provisioned `clientID` / `clientSecret`. Useful for multi-tenant
+deployments, self-service integrations, and ephemeral environments.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Middleware reads `registration_endpoint` from `.well-known/openid-configuration`.
+2. If `clientID` is empty, it `POST`s `clientMetadata` to the registration endpoint.
+3. Returned `client_id` / `client_secret` are cached, optionally persisted.
+4. Subsequent requests use the registered credentials.
+
+For multi-replica deployments, set `storageBackend: redis` so all replicas
+share one client and avoid registration races.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-dcr
+  namespace: traefik
+spec:
+  plugin:
+    traefikoidc:
+      providerURL: https://your-oidc-provider.com
+      sessionEncryptionKey: your-secure-encryption-key-min-32-chars
+      callbackURL: /oauth2/callback
+      dynamicClientRegistration:
+        enabled: true
+        persistCredentials: true
+        storageBackend: redis        # file | redis | auto
+        initialAccessToken: ""        # optional, for protected endpoints
+        registrationEndpoint: ""      # optional, override discovery
+        credentialsFile: /tmp/oidc-client-credentials.json
+        redisKeyPrefix: "dcr:creds:"
+        clientMetadata:
+          redirect_uris:
+            - https://app.example.com/oauth2/callback
+          client_name: My Application
+          application_type: web
+          grant_types: [authorization_code, refresh_token]
+          response_types: [code]
+          token_endpoint_auth_method: client_secret_basic
+          contacts: [admin@example.com]
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | `false` | Enable DCR. |
+| `persistCredentials` | `false` | Save returned credentials for reuse across restarts. |
+| `storageBackend` | `auto` | `file`, `redis`, or `auto` (Redis if available, else file). |
+| `credentialsFile` | `/tmp/oidc-client-credentials.json` | Path for file-backed storage. Mode `0600`. |
+| `redisKeyPrefix` | (none — set explicitly) | Key prefix for Redis-backed storage. The code does not inject a default; if unset, keys have no prefix. `dcr:creds:` is a sensible convention. |
+| `registrationEndpoint` | discovered | Override the discovered endpoint. |
+| `initialAccessToken` | none | Bearer token for protected registration endpoints. |
+| `clientMetadata.redirect_uris` | required | Callback URIs for the OAuth flow. |
+| `clientMetadata.client_name` | none | Human-readable client name. |
+| `clientMetadata.application_type` | `web` | `web` or `native`. |
+| `clientMetadata.grant_types` | `[authorization_code, refresh_token]` | OAuth grant types. |
+| `clientMetadata.response_types` | `[code]` | OAuth response types. |
+| `clientMetadata.token_endpoint_auth_method` | `client_secret_basic` | `client_secret_basic`, `client_secret_post`, or `none`. |
+| `clientMetadata.scope` | none | Space-separated scopes. |
+| `clientMetadata.contacts` | none | Admin email addresses. |
+| `clientMetadata.logo_uri` | none | Logo URL for consent screens. |
+| `clientMetadata.client_uri` | none | Client homepage URL. |
+| `clientMetadata.policy_uri` | none | Privacy policy URL. |
+| `clientMetadata.tos_uri` | none | Terms of service URL. |
+
+## Provider support
+
+The middleware does not gate DCR by provider — if the provider exposes a
+`registration_endpoint` in its discovery document (or you set
+`registrationEndpoint` explicitly), DCR will attempt registration. The table
+below is informational guidance based on each provider's published support.
+
+| Provider | DCR | Notes |
+|----------|-----|-------|
+| Keycloak | Yes | Enable in realm settings. |
+| Auth0 | Yes | Requires Management API token. |
+| Okta | Yes | Enable Dynamic Client Registration in admin console. |
+| Azure AD | Limited | Use App Registration API instead. |
+| Google | No | Manual registration required. |
+| AWS Cognito | No | Manual registration required. |
+
+## Security notes
+
+- Registration endpoints must be HTTPS (loopback excepted for local dev).
+- Use `initialAccessToken` in production to gate registration.
+- File-backed credentials use `0600`; protect the mount path.
+- The plugin marks credentials invalid when within ~5 min of `client_secret_expires_at` but does **not** automatically re-register. If your provider sets a non-zero expiry, schedule manual rotation (delete the credentials file or Redis entry, restart) before that time.

+
+- **OAuth 2.0 only** - Not OpenID Connect
+- **No ID tokens** - Only access tokens for API calls
+- **No refresh tokens** - Users must re-authenticate on expiry
+- **No standard claims** - User info requires API calls
+
+Use GitHub only for API access, not for user authentication with claims.
+
+### GitHub Setup
+
+1. Go to GitHub Settings > Developer settings > OAuth Apps

+## Generic OIDC
+
+For any OIDC-compliant provider not listed above.
+
+### Configuration
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:
+  name: oidc-generic
+spec:
+  plugin:
+    traefikoidc:
+      providerURL: "https://oidc.your-provider.com"
+      clientID: "your-client-id"

+      callbackURL: "/oauth2/callback"
+      sessionEncryptionKey: "your-32-char-encryption-key-here"
+      scopes:
+        - openid
+        - profile
+        - email
+      forceHttps: true
+      enablePkce: true
+```
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Provider must expose `.well-known/openid-configuration` endpoint
+- Must support authorization code flow
+- ID tokens must contain required claims (email, sub, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Automatic Scope Filtering
+
+The middleware automatically filters OAuth scopes based on the provider's declared capabilities.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. Fetches provider's `.well-known/openid-configuration`
+2. Extracts `scopes_supported` field
+3. Filters requested scopes to only include supported ones
+4. Falls back to all requested scopes if provider doesn't declare supported scopes
+
+### Example: Self-Hosted GitLab
+
+Self-hosted GitLab may reject `offline_access` scope:
+
+```yaml
+scopes:
+  - openid
+  - profile
+  - email
+  - offline_access  # Will be automatically filtered out if unsupported
+```
+
+The middleware will:
+1. Read GitLab's discovery document
+2. Detect `offline_access` is NOT in `scopes_supported`
+3. Filter it out automatically
+4. Authentication succeeds
+
+### Logging
+
+```
+INFO: ScopeFilter: Filtered unsupported scopes: [offline_access]
+DEBUG: ScopeFilter: Final filtered scopes: [openid profile email]
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+If a provider rejects scopes even after filtering:
+1. Check the provider's discovery document: `curl https://provider/.well-known/openid-configuration`
+2. Use `overrideScopes: true` with only supported scopes
+3. Review middleware debug logs for filtering decisions

+
+## Overview
+
+The Redis cache feature provides distributed caching for the Traefik OIDC plugin, enabling seamless operation across multiple Traefik instances.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Distributed JTI Replay Detection**: Prevents token replay attacks across all instances
+- **Shared Session Management**: Consistent user sessions across replicas
+- **Circuit Breaker**: Automatic fallback to memory cache during Redis outages
+- **Health Checking**: Continuous monitoring of Redis connectivity
+- **Flexible Cache Modes**: Memory, Redis, or hybrid caching strategies
+- **Pure-Go Implementation**: Yaegi-compatible, works with dynamic plugin loading
+
+### Architecture

+
+## Why Use Redis Cache?
+
+### The Problem
+
+When running multiple Traefik instances without shared cache:
+
+1. **False Positive Replay Detection**
+   - User authenticates → Token stored in Instance A's JTI cache
+   - Next request → Load balancer routes to Instance B
+   - Instance B doesn't have the JTI → Falsely detects replay attack
+
+2. **Session Inconsistency**
+   - User session created on Instance A
+   - Subsequent request routed to Instance B
+   - Instance B has no knowledge of the session
+
+3. **Token Metadata Fragmentation**
+   - Token refresh happens on Instance A
+   - Other instances continue using old tokens
+
+### The Solution
+
+Redis provides centralized cache that all instances share, ensuring:
+
+- **Consistent Authentication**: All instances share authentication state
+- **True Replay Detection**: JTI cache shared across all instances
+- **Seamless Scaling**: Add/remove instances without affecting sessions
+- **High Availability**: Circuit breaker with automatic fallback

+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  enabled: true
+  address: "redis:6379"
+  password: "your-password"  # Optional
+  db: 0
+  keyPrefix: "traefikoidc:"
+  cacheMode: "hybrid"
+```
+
+### All Configuration Options
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable Redis caching |
+| `address` | string | - | Redis server address (`host:port`) |
+| `password` | string | - | Redis password (optional) |
+| `db` | int | `0` | Redis database number (0-15) |
+| `keyPrefix` | string | `traefikoidc:` | Prefix for all Redis keys |
+| `cacheMode` | string | `redis` | Cache mode: `memory`, `redis`, `hybrid` |
+| `poolSize` | int | `10` | Connection pool size |
+| `connectTimeout` | int | `5` | Connection timeout (seconds) |
+| `readTimeout` | int | `3` | Read timeout (seconds) |
+| `writeTimeout` | int | `3` | Write timeout (seconds) |
+| `enableTLS` | bool | `false` | Enable TLS for connections |
+| `tlsSkipVerify` | bool | `false` | Skip TLS certificate verification |
+| `enableCircuitBreaker` | bool | `false` | Wrap the Redis backend with a circuit breaker. **Recommended `true` in production.** |
+| `circuitBreakerThreshold` | int | `5` | Consecutive failures before the circuit opens (only when `enableCircuitBreaker: true`). |
+| `circuitBreakerTimeout` | int | `60` | Seconds the circuit stays open before allowing a probe (only when `enableCircuitBreaker: true`). |
+| `enableHealthCheck` | bool | `false` | Wrap the Redis backend with periodic health checks. **Recommended `true` in production.** |
+| `healthCheckInterval` | int | `30` | Health check interval in seconds (only when `enableHealthCheck: true`). |
+| `hybridL1Size` | int | `500` | Max items in L1 cache (hybrid mode) |
+| `hybridL1MemoryMB` | int64 | `10` | Max memory for L1 cache in MB |
+
+### Environment Variables (Fallback)
+
+If not configured through Traefik, these environment variables are used:
+
+```bash
+REDIS_ENABLED=true
+REDIS_ADDRESS=redis:6379
+REDIS_PASSWORD=your-password
+REDIS_DB=0
+REDIS_KEY_PREFIX=traefikoidc:
+REDIS_CACHE_MODE=hybrid
+REDIS_POOL_SIZE=10
+REDIS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=5
+REDIS_READ_TIMEOUT=3
+REDIS_WRITE_TIMEOUT=3
+REDIS_ENABLE_TLS=false
+REDIS_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY=false
+REDIS_HYBRID_L1_SIZE=500
+REDIS_HYBRID_L1_MEMORY_MB=10
+```
+
+> Resilience fields (`enableCircuitBreaker`, `enableHealthCheck`,
+> `circuitBreakerThreshold`, `circuitBreakerTimeout`, `healthCheckInterval`)
+> have no environment variable fallback — set them in plugin configuration.
+
+Invalid `cacheMode` values are rejected at plugin startup.
+
+---
+
+## Cache Modes
+
+### Memory Mode (used when Redis is disabled)
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  cacheMode: "memory"
+```
+
+- Uses only in-memory cache
+- Suitable for single-instance deployments
+- No Redis dependency
+- Fastest performance
+
+### Redis Mode
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  enabled: true
+  address: "redis:6379"
+  cacheMode: "redis"
+```
+
+- All operations go directly to Redis
+- Ensures consistency across replicas
+- Slightly higher latency
+
+### Hybrid Mode (Recommended)
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  enabled: true
+  address: "redis:6379"
+  cacheMode: "hybrid"
+```
+
+Two-tier caching strategy:
+
+```

+
+### Kubernetes
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Middleware
+metadata:

+        db: 0
+        keyPrefix: "traefikoidc:"
+        cacheMode: "hybrid"
+        poolSize: 20
+        enableCircuitBreaker: true
+        circuitBreakerThreshold: 5
+```
+
+### AWS ElastiCache
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  enabled: true
+  address: "your-cache.abc123.cache.amazonaws.com:6379"
+  cacheMode: "hybrid"
+  enableTLS: true
+  password: "your-elasticache-auth-token"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Connection Pool Sizing
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  poolSize: 20        # Formula: 2 * CPU cores * replicas
+  # For 4 cores, 3 replicas: poolSize = 24
+```
+
+### TTL Strategy
+
+The plugin automatically sets TTLs based on token lifetimes:
+
+- **JTI Cache**: Matches token lifetime (typically 1 hour)
+- **Session**: Matches `sessionMaxAge` configuration
+- **Token Metadata**: 5 minutes (short-lived)
+
+### Redis Server Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Recommended Redis settings for cache
+maxmemory 512mb
+maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru  # Evict least recently used
+
+# For cache data, disable persistence for better performance
+save ""
+appendonly no
+```
+
+### Hybrid Mode Tuning
+
+```yaml
+redis:
+  cacheMode: "hybrid"
+  hybridL1Size: 500      # Max items in local cache
+  hybridL1MemoryMB: 10   # Max memory for local cache
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Key Metrics
+
+- **Cache hit rate** (target: >90% for hybrid mode)
+- **Redis latency** (target: <10ms p99)
+- **Circuit breaker state**
+- **Connection pool utilization
+
+### Redis Commands for Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# Monitor commands in real-time
+redis-cli MONITOR
+
+# Check slow queries
+redis-cli SLOWLOG GET 10
+
+# Memory usage
+redis-cli INFO memory
+
+# Key statistics
+redis-cli DBSIZE
+
+# List keys with prefix
+redis-cli --scan --pattern "traefikoidc:*"
+
+# Check key TTL
+redis-cli TTL "traefikoidc:session:abc123"
+```
+
+### Health Check Endpoint
+
+The plugin provides health information including:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "cache": {
+    "mode": "hybrid",
+    "redis": {
+      "connected": true,
+      "latency": "2ms"
+    },
+    "circuit_breaker": {
+      "state": "closed",
+      "failures": 0
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Refused
+
+**Symptoms:** `dial tcp: connection refused`
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify Redis is running: `redis-cli ping`
+2. Check network connectivity: `telnet redis-host 6379`
+3. Verify address configuration
+
+### Authentication Failure
+
+**Symptoms:** `NOAUTH Authentication required`
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Set Redis password in configuration
+2. Verify password is correct
+
+### Circuit Breaker Open
+
+**Symptoms:** `Circuit breaker is open`, falling back to memory
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check Redis health: `redis-cli INFO server`
+2. Review network latency: `redis-cli --latency`
+3. Adjust circuit breaker thresholds if needed
+
+### High Memory Usage
+
+**Symptoms:** Redis memory constantly growing, OOM errors
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Configure eviction policy:
+   ```bash
+   CONFIG SET maxmemory 512mb
+   CONFIG SET maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru
+   ```
+2. Review key count: `redis-cli DBSIZE`
+3. Check for large keys: `redis-cli --bigkeys`
+
+### Inconsistent Cache State
+
+**Symptoms:** Different responses from different replicas
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify all instances use the same Redis address
+2. Check cache mode consistency across instances
+3. Verify time synchronization on all hosts
+
+---
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Memory-Only to Redis
+
+#### Phase 1: Preparation
+
+1. Deploy Redis infrastructure
+2. Test Redis connectivity
+3. Configure monitoring
+
+#### Phase 2: Gradual Rollout
+
+1. Enable Redis on one instance:
+   ```yaml
+   redis:
+     enabled: true
+     address: "redis:6379"
+     cacheMode: "hybrid"
+   ```
+2. Monitor for errors
+3. Gradually enable on more instances
+
+#### Phase 3: Full Migration
+
+1. Enable Redis on all instances
+2. Remove `disableReplayDetection: true` if set
+3. Monitor for issues
+
+### Rollback Plan
+
+If issues occur:
+1. Set `redis.enabled: false`
+2. Plugin falls back to memory cache automatically
+3. Investigate and resolve issues
+
+### Migration Checklist
+
+- [ ] Redis deployed and accessible
+- [ ] Redis password configured
+- [ ] Network connectivity verified
+- [ ] Monitoring configured

+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Is Redis required?
+
+No, Redis is optional. The plugin works with in-memory cache for single-instance deployments.
+
+### What happens if Redis goes down?
+
+The circuit breaker opens after threshold failures, and the plugin falls back to in-memory cache. It periodically attempts to reconnect.
+
+### Which cache mode should I use?
+
+For production multi-replica deployments, use `hybrid` mode for best performance and consistency.
+
+### How much memory does Redis need?
+
+Depends on active sessions and token sizes:
+- Small (1-1000 users): 128MB
+- Medium (1000-10000 users): 256-512MB
+- Large (10000+ users): 1GB+
+
+### Can I use managed Redis services?
+
+Yes, the plugin works with AWS ElastiCache, Azure Cache for Redis, Google Cloud Memorystore, and Redis Enterprise Cloud.
+
+### Is data encrypted in Redis?
+
+Session data is encrypted before storing using `sessionEncryptionKey`. Additionally, you can enable TLS for Redis connections.

+# RFC 8707 Resource Indicators
+
+`resource` ([Config.Resource](../settings.go)) is an alternative to `audience` for IdPs that
+implement [RFC 8707](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8707). See
+[docs/CONFIGURATION.md](CONFIGURATION.md#audience-validation) for the config reference; this
+document covers exactly what request is made and which providers support it.
+
+## What the plugin sends
+
+- One `resource` parameter on the authorization request (`buildAuthURL`), added before
+  `extraAuthParams` so an operator-configured `resource` key there cannot override or
+  duplicate it.
+- The same `resource` parameter on both the `authorization_code` and `refresh_token` grants
+  (`exchangeTokens`), per RFC 8707 §2.2 — so a refreshed token keeps the same audience binding
+  as the original grant.
+
+Only a single resource is supported, not a list. RFC 8707 allows a server to accept multiple
+`resource` values and scope the issued token to a subset of them, but no provider found to
+support the parameter at all handles that usefully: one provider tested rejects a request
+naming more than one resource with HTTP 400 `invalid_target`; node-oidc-provider accepts
+multiple resources but issues an opaque access token bound to none of them. A single value
+avoids both failure modes.
+
+## Relationship to `audience`
+
+`resource` and `audience` both feed the same access-token audience check —
+`strictAudienceValidation` applies identically to either — but they produce different requests
+on the wire:
+
+- `audience`, when explicitly configured, is sent as a non-standard `audience` request
+  parameter (see [docs/AUTH0\_AUDIENCE\_GUIDE.md](AUTH0_AUDIENCE_GUIDE.md)).
+- `resource` is sent as the RFC 8707 `resource` parameter instead.
+- If `resource` is set and `audience` is not, the expected-audience check defaults to the
+  resource value, but this is validation-only: it does not cause an `audience` parameter to be
+  sent. Setting both is allowed — e.g. as a hedge against a provider that ignores `resource` —
+  in which case both parameters are sent.
+
+## Provider support
+
+Verified 2026-09-02 (Zitadel reverified separately against a live instance). RFC 8707 requires
+a server that does not support `resource` to *ignore* it, but not every implementation does —
+verify against your specific provider and version before relying on it.
+
+| Provider | Support | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| node-oidc-provider | Supported | Via its `resourceIndicators` feature. |
+| Zitadel | Ignored, not rejected | `oidc.AuthRequest` has no `resource` field; confirmed against a live instance — `/oauth/v2/authorize` returns the same `302` with or without `resource`, including a spec-invalid value. |
+| Authentik | Rejected | Returns `invalid_target` ("Resource indicators are not supported"). |
+| Keycloak | Not supported (through 26.6) | Its own guidance is an audience mapper plus `scope` instead ([keycloak/keycloak#41526](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/41526)). |
+| Ory Hydra / Fosite | Not implemented | Uses its own non-standard `audience` request parameter instead. |
+| Azure AD / Entra ID v2.0 (MSAL) | Reported to reject | When combined with v2-style `scope`, rather than ignoring it ([writeup](https://www.groff.dev/blog/azure-entra-id-mcp-server-authentication-incompatibilities)). Do not enable against an Entra ID v2 tenant without confirming. The v1.0 endpoint has a separate, pre-RFC `resource` parameter with similar but not identical semantics. |
+| Auth0 | Not verified | Documents a Resource Parameter Compatibility Profile mapping `resource` → `audience` ([Auth0 docs](https://auth0.com/ai/docs/mcp/guides/resource-param-compatibility-profile)). |
+| AWS Cognito | Not verified | Announced Oct 2025 for user-pool authorization-code/implicit grants ([announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/10/amazon-cognito-resource-indicators-protection-oauth-2-0-resources)). |
+| Okta, Google, GitLab | Unverified | No confirming documentation found either way. |

+## Mock Types
+
+The project provides two mocking patterns:
+
+### State-Based Mocks (Basic)
+
+Located in `main_test.go`, `mocks_test.go`. Simple mocks that store data in struct fields.
+
+| Mock | Interface | Description |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| `MockJWKCache` | `JWKCacheInterface` | Simple state-based mock with JWKS/Err fields |
+| `MockTokenVerifier` | `TokenVerifier` | Function-based mock for token verification |
+| `MockTokenExchanger` | `TokenExchanger` | Function-based mock for token exchange |
+| `MockOAuthProvider` | `http.Handler` | Full HTTP handler mock for OAuth provider simulation |
+| `MockSessionManager` | `SessionManager` | State-based mock for session management |
+| `MockHTTPClient` | N/A | Mock HTTP client with customizable responses |
+
+**Usage:**
+```go
+mock := &MockJWKCache{
+    JWKS: &JWKSet{Keys: []JWK{jwk}},
+    Err:  nil,
+}
+tOidc := &TraefikOidc{
+    jwkCache: mock,
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Enhanced State-Based Mocks (with Call Tracking)
+
+Located in `enhanced_mocks_test.go`. State-based mocks with built-in call tracking and assertion helpers.
+
+| Mock | Interface | Description |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| `EnhancedMockJWKCache` | `JWKCacheInterface` | State-based with call tracking |
+| `EnhancedMockTokenVerifier` | `TokenVerifier` | State-based with call tracking |
+| `EnhancedMockTokenExchanger` | `TokenExchanger` | State-based with call tracking |
+| `EnhancedMockCacheInterface` | `CacheInterface` | Functional cache with call tracking |
+
+**Usage:**
+```go
+mock := &EnhancedMockJWKCache{
+    JWKS: &JWKSet{Keys: []JWK{jwk}},
+}
+
+// Make calls
+result, err := mock.GetJWKS(ctx, "https://example.com/jwks", nil)
+
+// Verify calls were made
+mock.AssertGetJWKSCalled(t)
+mock.AssertGetJWKSCalledWith(t, "https://example.com/jwks")
+mock.AssertGetJWKSCallCount(t, 1)
+
+// Access call details
+s.Equal(1, mock.GetJWKSCallCount())
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Track all calls with parameters and timestamps
+- Built-in assertion helpers using testify
+- Thread-safe for concurrent tests
+- `Reset()` method to clear state between tests
+- `LastCall()` to inspect most recent call
+
+### Testify-Based Mocks
+
+Located in `testify_mocks_test.go`. Mocks using testify's `.On()/.Return()` pattern for behavior verification.
+
+| Mock | Interface | Description |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| `TestifyJWKCache` | `JWKCacheInterface` | Testify mock with `.On()/.Return()` |
+| `TestifyTokenVerifier` | `TokenVerifier` | Testify mock for token verification |
+| `TestifyTokenExchanger` | `TokenExchanger` | Testify mock for token exchange |
+| `TestifyCacheInterface` | `CacheInterface` | Testify mock for cache operations |
+| `TestifyHTTPClient` | N/A | Testify mock for HTTP client |
+| `TestifyRoundTripper` | `http.RoundTripper` | Testify mock for HTTP transport |
+
+**Usage:**
+```go
+mock := &TestifyJWKCache{}
+mock.On("GetJWKS", mock.Anything, "https://example.com/jwks", mock.Anything).
+    Return(&JWKSet{Keys: []JWK{jwk}}, nil)
+
+// After test
+mock.AssertExpectations(t)
+```
+
+### Testutil Package Mocks
+
+Located in `internal/testutil/mocks/`. Generic mocks for testing the test infrastructure itself.
+
+```go
+import "github.com/lukaszraczylo/traefikoidc/internal/testutil"
+
+mock := testutil.NewJWKCacheMock()
+mock.On("GetJWKS", mock.Anything, mock.Anything, mock.Anything).
+    Return(&mocks.JWKSet{Keys: []mocks.JWK{{Kty: "RSA"}}}, nil)
+```
+
+### Choosing the Right Mock
+
+| Use Case | Recommended Mock |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| Simple return values only | Basic state-based (`MockJWKCache`) |
+| Return values + verify calls made | Enhanced state-based (`EnhancedMockJWKCache`) |
+| Complex call expectations | Testify-based (`TestifyJWKCache`) |
+| Verify call order/sequence | Testify-based |
+| HTTP endpoint simulation | `MockOAuthProvider` |
+| New testify suite tests | Enhanced or Testify-based |
+
+**Decision Guide:**
+
+1. **Basic State-Based**: Use when you only need to control return values and don't care about verifying interactions.
+
+2. **Enhanced State-Based**: Use when you want to verify calls were made with specific parameters, but prefer simpler setup than testify's `.On()/.Return()` pattern.
+
+3. **Testify-Based**: Use when you need complex behavior like different returns per call, strict call ordering, or detailed expectation matching.
+
+## Token Fixtures
+
+The `testutil.TokenFixture` generates JWT tokens for testing:
+
+```go
+fixture, err := testutil.NewTokenFixture()
+
+// Valid token with default claims
+token, _ := fixture.ValidToken(nil)
+
+// Token with custom claims
+token, _ := fixture.ValidToken(map[string]interface{}{
+    "email": "test@example.com",
+    "roles": []string{"admin"},
+})
+
+// Expired token
+token, _ := fixture.ExpiredToken()
+
+// Token with specific roles/groups
+token, _ := fixture.TokenWithRoles([]string{"admin", "user"})
+token, _ := fixture.TokenWithGroups([]string{"developers"})
+
+// Token with clock skew
+token, _ := fixture.TokenWithSkew(-2 * time.Minute)  // expired 2 min ago
+token, _ := fixture.TokenWithSkew(5 * time.Minute)   // expires in 5 min
+
+// Token missing specific claims
+token, _ := fixture.TokenMissingClaim("email", "sub")
+
+// Malformed token
+token := fixture.MalformedToken()  // "not.a.valid.jwt"
+
+// Get JWKS for verification
+jwks := fixture.GetJWKS()
+```
+
+## Mock OIDC Server
+
+The `testutil.OIDCServer` provides a fully functional mock OIDC provider:
+
+```go
+// Default configuration
+server := testutil.NewOIDCServer(nil)
+defer server.Close()
+
+// Custom configuration
+config := testutil.DefaultServerConfig()
+config.Issuer = "https://custom-issuer.com"
+config.TokenError = &testutil.OIDCError{
+    Error:       "invalid_grant",
+    Description: "Authorization code expired",
+}
+server := testutil.NewOIDCServer(config)
+
+// Provider-specific configurations
+googleConfig := testutil.GoogleServerConfig()
+azureConfig := testutil.AzureServerConfig()
+auth0Config := testutil.Auth0ServerConfig()
+keycloakConfig := testutil.KeycloakServerConfig()
+
+// Behavior configurations
+slowConfig := testutil.SlowServerConfig(100 * time.Millisecond)
+rateLimitedConfig := testutil.RateLimitedServerConfig(5)  // Limit after 5 requests
+```
+
+### Server Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `/.well-known/openid-configuration` | OIDC discovery document |
+| `/authorize` | Authorization endpoint |
+| `/token` | Token exchange endpoint |
+| `/jwks` | JSON Web Key Set |
+| `/userinfo` | User information endpoint |
+| `/introspect` | Token introspection |
+| `/revoke` | Token revocation |
+| `/logout` | End session endpoint |
+
+### Request Tracking
+
+```go
+server := testutil.NewOIDCServer(nil)
+
+// Make requests...
+
+count := server.GetRequestCount()
+requests := server.GetRequests()
+server.Reset()  // Clear tracking
+```
+
+## Writing Test Suites
+
+### Basic Suite Structure
+
+```go
+type MyTestSuite struct {
+    suite.Suite
+
+    fixture *testutil.TokenFixture
+    tOidc   *TraefikOidc
+}
+
+func (s *MyTestSuite) SetupSuite() {
+    var err error
+    s.fixture, err = testutil.NewTokenFixture()
+    s.Require().NoError(err)
+}
+
+func (s *MyTestSuite) SetupTest() {
+    // Per-test setup
+    s.tOidc = &TraefikOidc{
+        issuerURL: s.fixture.Issuer,
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+
+func (s *MyTestSuite) TearDownTest() {
+    // Per-test cleanup
+}
+
+func (s *MyTestSuite) TestSomething() {
+    token, err := s.fixture.ValidToken(nil)
+    s.Require().NoError(err)
+
+    err = s.tOidc.VerifyToken(token)
+    s.NoError(err)
+}
+
+func TestMyTestSuite(t *testing.T) {
+    suite.Run(t, new(MyTestSuite))
+}
+```
+
+### Table-Driven Tests
+
+```go
+func (s *MyTestSuite) TestClockSkewEdgeCases() {
+    testCases := []struct {
+        name       string
+        skew       time.Duration
+        shouldPass bool
+    }{
+        {"valid_token", 5 * time.Minute, true},
+        {"expired_within_tolerance", -1 * time.Minute, true},
+        {"expired_beyond_tolerance", -10 * time.Minute, false},
+    }
+

+# Bearer Token Authentication — Design Spec
+
+- **Date**: 2026-05-18
+- **Status**: Design — pending implementation plan
+- **Supersedes**: PR #93 (broken implementation; recommended to close in favour of this design)
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+Add an opt-in path that lets API clients (machine-to-machine) authenticate by presenting a signed access token in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header, bypassing the cookie-based OIDC redirect flow. Identity, roles, and authorization checks remain consistent with the existing cookie path; the only thing that changes is how the principal is established for that single request.
+
+The feature is implemented by extracting a shared `forwardAuthorized` pipeline from the existing `processAuthorizedRequest`, introducing a `principal` value type, and adding a small bearer-specific entrypoint that builds a principal directly from a verified JWT — without synthesising a fake `SessionData`.
+
+## 2. Motivation
+
+PR #93 attempted this feature by building an in-memory `SessionData` from JWT claims and reusing `processAuthorizedRequest`. The approach has three latent defects:
+
+1. The synthetic session omits `mainSession.Values["user_identifier"]`. `processAuthorizedRequest` reads it via `GetUserIdentifier()`; when empty it bails to `defaultInitiateAuthentication` and issues an OIDC redirect. The feature is non-functional in practice despite the unit test passing.
+2. `verifyToken` accepts both ID tokens (audience match against `clientID`) and access tokens. ID tokens are not API credentials; treating them as such is a classic token-confusion vector.
+3. `verifyToken` adds JTI to the replay blacklist on first verify. Once the verified-token cache evicts, subsequent reuse of the same bearer token triggers a false-positive replay rejection.
+
+Rather than patch a synthetic-session approach that will keep generating bugs as `SessionData` evolves, this spec replaces it with a cleaner abstraction where session lifecycle and post-auth header injection live in separate units.
+
+## 3. Goals
+
+- Accept `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` from M2M clients, validate the token, and forward the request downstream with identity headers populated.
+- Enforce the same `allowedRolesAndGroups` policy as the cookie path.
+- Default-off; safe defaults when enabled (audience required, ID tokens rejected, identifier sanitised).
+- No behavioural change to the cookie path. Existing tests must continue to pass without modification.
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+- Human-user / browser flows. Bearer is M2M-only in this iteration.
+- Pure opaque access tokens on the bearer path. Tokens must be JWTs; introspection (RFC 7662) is supported *on top of* JWT verification for revocation state, not as a substitute for it.
+- mTLS, API keys, or any other auth method. The `principal` abstraction enables them later, but they are not delivered here.
+- Per-route bearer configuration. Single middleware-wide setting.
+
+## 5. Decided Requirements
+
+| Topic | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Consumer type | Machine-to-machine (M2M) only |
+| Token format | JWT only (signature, issuer, audience, exp) |
+| Audience | Mandatory when feature enabled; startup fails if `Audience == ""` |
+| Token type | Access tokens only; ID tokens explicitly rejected |
+| Revocation | JWT-only verification by default; introspection (RFC 7662) opt-in via existing `RequireTokenIntrospection` |
+| Identity claim | New `BearerIdentifierClaim` config (string, default `"sub"`). Bearer path reads this claim exclusively; does NOT use `UserIdentifierClaim` (which defaults to `"email"` and drives the cookie path). Resolved value must be a non-empty string. `sub` is mandatory per `jwt.go:416` regardless, so even with a different `BearerIdentifierClaim` the token must still carry a valid `sub`. Decoupling avoids the M2M-vs-human-user identity-claim conflict and the email-spoofing footgun. |
+| Identifier sanitisation | Reject value containing any `unicode.IsControl` char, any Unicode bidi-override (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069), leading/trailing whitespace, commas, semicolons, equals signs. Max length 256 bytes. |
+| Token classifier | **Reuse existing `detectTokenType(jwt, token)` at `token_manager.go:187-303`** which already handles `nonce`, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use`, `scope`, and aud-vs-clientID priority. Bearer path rejects any token where `detectTokenType == true` (ID token). Do not invent a parallel classifier. |
+| Algorithm pinning | Hard-pin `alg ∈ {RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512, ES256, ES384, ES512}`, enforced **before** JWKS lookup on the bearer path. Prevents wasted JWKS fetches for `alg=none`/HS attacker probes. |
+| `kid` hardening | `kid` ≤ 256 bytes, charset `[A-Za-z0-9._\-=]`. Reject before JWKS lookup. |
+| Token age | Bearer path enforces `now - iat <= MaxTokenAgeSeconds` (default 86400 / 24h, configurable). Cookie path unchanged. |
+| Multi-audience policy | If `aud` is an array (length > 1), require `azp` claim to be present and equal to `clientID`. Single-string `aud` unaffected. |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie precedence | **Cookie wins by default** when both are presented (safer for browser scenarios). Operator opt-in: `BearerOverridesCookie=true` to flip. Either way, a warning is logged on the request. |
+| Bearer + excluded URL | `Authorization` header is **stripped** before forwarding when the request hits an excluded URL. Prevents bearer leaking into public endpoints' downstream logs and prevents recon via excluded paths. |
+| Per-source bearer 401 throttle | New sharded cache `failedBearerAttempts` keyed by client IP. After N (default 20) consecutive 401s from one IP within 1 minute, reject further bearer requests from that IP with 429 for 60s. Applied BEFORE `verifyToken` to deny JWKS amplification. |
+| `Authorization` header passthrough | New `StripAuthorizationHeader` config, default `true` |
+| Roles/groups gating | Same `allowedRolesAndGroups` rules as cookie path |
+| Default state | `EnableBearerAuth` = `false` |
+| JTI replay marking | Suppressed on bearer path; cookie path unchanged |
+| Failure response shape | 401 with generic body; `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"` per RFC 6750 |
+| Introspection endpoint outage | 503 (distinguishes infra outage from token rejection) |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie | Bearer wins; cookie ignored on that request |
+| SSE/WS bypass + bearer | Bypass paths keep cookie-only check; bearer header ignored on SSE/WS |
+

+```
+
+**Invariant**: `forwardAuthorized` never touches session storage. Session-specific concerns (Save, IsDirty, backchannel-logout invalidation) stay inside `processAuthorizedRequest` around the call to `forwardAuthorized`.
+
+**Feature gate**: when `EnableBearerAuth == false`, the bearer-detection check in `ServeHTTP` is a no-op. Existing deployments observe byte-identical behaviour.
+
+## 7. Components
+
+### 7.1 `principal` type (new file `principal.go`)
+
+```go
+type principalSource int
+
+const (
+    sourceSession principalSource = iota
+    sourceBearer
+)
+
+type principal struct {
+    Identifier   string                 // drives X-Forwarded-User
+    Email        string                 // optional, "" for M2M
+    Subject      string                 // sub claim
+    ClientID     string                 // azp / client_id, M2M caller
+    Claims       map[string]interface{} // raw claims for templates / groups
+    AccessToken  string                 // for X-Auth-Request-Token (gated by minimalHeaders)
+    IDToken      string                 // "" on bearer path
+    RefreshToken string                 // "" on bearer path
+    Source       principalSource
+}
+```
+
+Pure data. No methods that mutate it. No I/O. No manager pointer.
+
+### 7.2 `buildPrincipalFromSession(*SessionData) *principal` (new in `principal.go`)
+
+Read-only adapter over existing `SessionData` getters: `GetUserIdentifier`, `GetEmail`, `GetAccessToken`, `GetIDToken`, `GetRefreshToken`, cached claims via `GetIDTokenClaims`. Does not write back to the session. This is the only function that still knows about `SessionData`.
+
+### 7.3 `buildPrincipalFromBearerToken(token string) (*principal, error)` (new in `bearer_auth.go`)
+
+1. **Length / format guards**: `len(token) <= AccessTokenConfig.MaxLength`, exactly two dots, non-empty after trim.
+2. **Parse header for early alg/kid pinning** (without trusting payload): decode JOSE header; reject if `alg` ∉ asymmetric allowlist; reject if `kid` missing, > 256 bytes, or contains chars outside `[A-Za-z0-9._\-=]`. This happens **before** JWKS lookup so attacker noise doesn't amplify into JWKS fetches.
+3. **Per-IP 401 throttle check**: if this IP is in the `failedBearerAttempts` penalty box, return 429 immediately.
+4. `t.verifyToken(token, verifyOpts{skipReplayMarking: true})` — reuses signature, issuer, audience, expiration, JTI Get (replay detection). The `skipReplayMarking` flag gates ONLY the JTI Set at `token_manager.go:108-143`; the JTI Get at `token_manager.go:44-47, 80-89` remains active so revoked tokens (via `RevokeToken` adding to blacklist) are still rejected.
+5. **Re-parse claims** (`parseJWT(token)` is cheap and already done internally; reuse via a single decode if practical).
+6. **Token-type guard**: call existing `detectTokenType(jwt, token)` (`token_manager.go:187-303`). Reject when it returns `true` (ID token). Belt-and-braces: also reject if `claims["nonce"]` is a non-empty string or `claims["token_use"] == "id"`.
+7. **Multi-audience hardening**: if `claims["aud"]` is a `[]interface{}` with length > 1, require `claims["azp"]` to be a non-empty string equal to `t.clientID`; reject otherwise.
+8. **`iat` upper-age bound**: reject when `time.Now().Unix() - int64(claims["iat"].(float64)) > MaxTokenAgeSeconds` (default 86400).
+9. **Optional introspection**: if `requireTokenIntrospection` is set, call `introspectToken`; reject if `active == false` (401); surface 503 on transport failure. Bearer-path introspection cache TTL is capped at 60s (not 5min) to keep the "real-time revocation" promise close to true.
+10. **Identifier resolution**: read `t.bearerIdentifierClaim` (defaults to `"sub"`); do NOT use `t.userIdentifierClaim` (cookie path's setting, default `email`). The bearer path does NOT fall back to other claims because `jwt.Verify` already enforces non-empty `sub` (`jwt.go:416-419`). Empty/missing identifier → 401.
+11. **Identifier sanitisation**: trim, then reject if length > 256 OR contains any of: `unicode.IsControl`, bidi-override (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069), `,`, `;`, `=`.
+12. Return `&principal{ Source: sourceBearer, … }`.
+
+On any failure path: increment the per-IP `failedBearerAttempts` counter; return the appropriate HTTP status (401 / 403 / 429 / 503) without revealing the failure reason in the response body. Reason is logged at debug only, with the identifier (if resolved) hashed via SHA-256 truncated to 8 hex chars.
+
+### 7.4 `forwardAuthorized(rw, req, *principal)` (new in `middleware.go`, extracted)
+
+The shared post-auth pipeline. Lifted verbatim from the existing `processAuthorizedRequest`:
+
+1. Roles/groups extraction via existing `extractGroupsAndRolesFromClaims`.
+2. `allowedRolesAndGroups` gate (existing logic).
+3. Inject `X-Forwarded-User`, `X-User-Groups`, `X-User-Roles`.
+4. Inject `X-Auth-Request-*` (gated by `minimalHeaders`).
+5. Header templates.
+6. Security headers.
+7. Cookie strip when `stripAuthCookies`.
+8. **New**: `Authorization` header strip when `stripAuthorizationHeader` AND `principal.Source == sourceBearer`.
+9. `t.next.ServeHTTP(rw, req)`.
+
+Does not call `Save`, does not check `IsDirty`. Session persistence stays with the cookie-path caller.
+
+### 7.5 `handleBearerRequest(rw, req)` (new in `bearer_auth.go`)
+
+```
+1. Detect "Authorization: Bearer <token>" (case-insensitive prefix).
+2. token = TrimSpace(authHeader[7:]); reject empty.
+3. p, err := buildPrincipalFromBearerToken(token).
+   On err → 401 with WWW-Authenticate, log reason at debug.
+4. forwardAuthorized(rw, req, p).
+```
+
+Target: ~40 lines.
+
+### 7.6 Refactor of `processAuthorizedRequest` (modify `middleware.go`)
+
+Splits along the principal boundary:
+- Session-specific part (backchannel-logout invalidation, `IsDirty` / `Save`) stays in `processAuthorizedRequest`.
+- Everything else moves to `forwardAuthorized`.
+- `processAuthorizedRequest` ends with `forwardAuthorized(rw, req, buildPrincipalFromSession(session))`.
+
+### 7.7 `verifyOpts` extension to `verifyToken` (modify `token_manager.go`)
+
+Add a parameter struct:
+```go
+type verifyOpts struct {
+    skipReplayMarking bool // suppress JTI Set (token_manager.go:108-143); blacklist Get stays active
+}
+```
+
+Both the type and field are unexported (internal-only knob). Signature change: `verifyToken(token string)` becomes `verifyToken(token string, opts verifyOpts)`. Existing callers pass `verifyOpts{}` (zero value = current behaviour). Bearer path passes `verifyOpts{skipReplayMarking: true}`.
+
+**Critical semantics — must be reflected in implementation and tests:**
+- `skipReplayMarking` only gates the **Set** at `token_manager.go:108-143` (the call adding the JTI to the blacklist and replay cache).
+- The blacklist **Get** at `token_manager.go:44-47, 80-89` stays unconditionally active on the bearer path. Tokens revoked via `RevokeToken` (which adds the JTI to the blacklist) MUST still be rejected on the bearer path.
+- Must NOT be implemented by mutating `t.disableReplayDetection` (struct field) — that would create a cross-request race that disables replay protection globally.
+
+A targeted regression test exercises: bearer token verified once → admin calls `RevokeToken` adding the JTI to the blacklist → same token replayed → 401.
+
+### 7.8 Config additions (modify `settings.go`)
+
+```go
+EnableBearerAuth              bool   `json:"enableBearerAuth,omitempty"`
+BearerIdentifierClaim         string `json:"bearerIdentifierClaim,omitempty"`
+StripAuthorizationHeader      bool   `json:"stripAuthorizationHeader,omitempty"`
+BearerEmitWWWAuthenticate     bool   `json:"bearerEmitWWWAuthenticate,omitempty"`
+BearerOverridesCookie         bool   `json:"bearerOverridesCookie,omitempty"`
+MaxTokenAgeSeconds            int64  `json:"maxTokenAgeSeconds,omitempty"`
+MaxIdentifierLength           int    `json:"maxIdentifierLength,omitempty"`
+BearerFailureThreshold        int    `json:"bearerFailureThreshold,omitempty"`
+BearerFailureWindowSeconds    int    `json:"bearerFailureWindowSeconds,omitempty"`
+BearerFailurePenaltySeconds   int    `json:"bearerFailurePenaltySeconds,omitempty"`
+```
+
+Defaults (applied in `CreateConfig` for the bearer-related fields; values >0 only honoured when `EnableBearerAuth=true`):
+- `EnableBearerAuth`: `false`.
+- `BearerIdentifierClaim`: `"sub"`.
+- `StripAuthorizationHeader`: `true`.
+- `BearerEmitWWWAuthenticate`: `true` (RFC 6750 hint enabled by default; flip to false if recon-exposure is a concern).
+- `BearerOverridesCookie`: `false` (cookie wins when both present; flip to `true` for the legacy/industry-default behaviour).
+- `MaxTokenAgeSeconds`: `86400` (24h upper bound on `iat`).
+- `MaxIdentifierLength`: `256`.
+- `BearerFailureThreshold`: `20` (consecutive 401s per IP before throttle).
+- `BearerFailureWindowSeconds`: `60`.
+- `BearerFailurePenaltySeconds`: `60` (429 reply for this long after threshold tripped).
+
+### 7.9 Startup validation (modify `main.go` `New()`)
+
+- `EnableBearerAuth && Audience == ""` → fatal error.
+- `EnableBearerAuth && !StrictAudienceValidation` → warning log (recommended hardening).
+- `EnableBearerAuth && BearerIdentifierClaim == "email"` → fatal error (the bearer path is M2M and an `email` identifier without `email_verified` enforcement is a spoofing vector; default `BearerIdentifierClaim=sub` avoids this; explicit override to `email` is rejected).
+- `EnableBearerAuth && MaxTokenAgeSeconds <= 0` → reset to default 86400 with info log.
+- `EnableBearerAuth && BearerFailureThreshold <= 0` → reset to default 20 with info log.
+
+## 8. Data Flow

+
+## 9. Error Handling
+
+| Trigger | Status | Body | WWW-Authenticate | Debug log reason |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Empty bearer after prefix | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_request"` | empty bearer token |
+| Token over MaxLength | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token exceeds max length |
+| Not a 3-segment JWT | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | malformed JWT |
+| Disallowed `alg` (e.g. none, HS*) | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | unsupported alg |
+| Missing/oversized/bad-charset `kid` | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | invalid kid |
+| Signature / issuer / aud / exp fail | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | reason from verifyToken (category only) |
+| `iat` older than MaxTokenAgeSeconds | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token too old (iat outside age bound) |
+| Multi-aud without matching `azp` | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | multi-aud token without azp match |
+| Detected as ID token | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | ID tokens not accepted on bearer path |
+| JTI blacklisted (revoked) | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token JTI in blacklist |
+| Introspection `active=false` | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | token inactive at IdP |
+| Introspection endpoint failure | 503 | `Service Unavailable` | (none) | introspection unavailable |
+| Identifier claim missing/empty | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | no identifier claim |
+| Identifier fails sanitisation | 401 | `Unauthorized` | `Bearer error="invalid_token"` | invalid identifier characters |
+| Per-IP failure threshold tripped | 429 | `Too Many Requests` | (none); `Retry-After: <BearerFailurePenaltySeconds>` | source IP in penalty box |
+| Roles/groups not allowed | 403 | `Access denied` | (none) | user not in allowedRolesAndGroups |
+
+Responses never include token contents, never include the raw failure reason, and never set `Location` headers (API clients cannot follow redirects).
+
+## 10. Edge Cases
+
+1. **Both bearer header and cookie session present.** Cookie wins by default (safer against browser/extension/proxy bearer injection). `BearerOverridesCookie=true` flips to bearer-wins. Either way: WARN log includes both source markers so operators can audit.
+2. **`Authorization: Basic …`.** Not bearer; cookie path runs as today.
+3. **`Authorization: Bearer ` (trailing space, no value).** Empty after trim → 401.
+4. **Mixed-case prefix (`bearer`, `BEARER`, `BeArEr`).** Case-insensitive prefix check; token value preserved verbatim.
+5. **Multiple `Authorization` headers.** Use only the first (Go `http.Header.Get` default). Documented.
+6. **Bearer during OIDC init wait.** Bearer requests also block on init: we need `issuerURL`, `audience`, JWKs ready. If init fails, bearer requests return 503 just like cookie requests.
+7. **SSE / WebSocket bypass with bearer.** Bypass paths keep cookie-only behaviour. Operators who want bearer on streaming endpoints must remove SSE/WS bypass. Documented.
+8. **Logout endpoint with bearer.** Logout runs before bearer detection. Treated as cookie-session logout; bearer token revocation requires IdP-side action.
+9. **Excluded URLs with bearer.** Bypass excluded URLs as today; bearer not validated on excluded paths. ADDITIONALLY: `Authorization: Bearer` is stripped from the request before forwarding so the token can't leak into the excluded endpoint's downstream logs / metrics scrapers / health checks.
+10. **Concurrent identical bearer requests.** Existing `tokenCache` is concurrency-safe; no new locking.
+11. **Client rotates token between requests.** Independent verification per token; independent cache entries.
+12. **Clock skew.** Use existing `jwt.Verify` leeway. (If absent, add ±30s as a separate change; out of scope here.)
+
+## 11. Testing Strategy
+
+### 11.1 Integration tests (new `bearer_auth_test.go`)
+
+Table-driven test against a real `httptest.Server` and the full `ServeHTTP` flow. Coverage matrix:
+
+- Valid access token + allowed roles → 200, `next` ran, `X-Forwarded-User` set.
+- Valid token without configured roles → 200.
+- Wrong audience, expired, tampered signature → 401, `next` did not run.
+- ID token presented → 401 (`ID tokens not accepted`).
+- Malformed JWT (2 segments) → 401.
+- Oversized token (> MaxLength) → 401.
+- Empty bearer → 401.
+- Missing identifier claim → 401.
+- Identifier containing `\r\n` → 401.
+- `allowedRolesAndGroups` mismatch → 403.
+- `allowedRolesAndGroups` match → 200.
+- `EnableBearerAuth=false` + bearer header → cookie path runs (302 to `/authorize`).
+- Bearer + valid cookie session → bearer wins, 200.
+- `StripAuthorizationHeader=true` → downstream sees no `Authorization`.
+- `StripAuthorizationHeader=false` → downstream sees `Authorization`.
+- Case variants (`bearer`, `BEARER`) → 200.
+- SSE bypass + bearer → cookie-only check applies (bearer ignored).
+- **Replay regression**: same token 1000 times in a row → all 200.
+- **Cache-evict regression**: same token, force-evict `tokenCache` between iterations (call `tokenCache.Delete` directly), replay → still 200 (verifies `skipReplayMarking` doesn't poison the blacklist).
+- **Revocation-while-bearer regression**: bearer token verified once → admin calls `RevokeToken` adding JTI to blacklist → same token presented → 401 (verifies blacklist Get stays active on bearer path even with `skipReplayMarking` set).
+- **Alg-pin: token signed with `alg=none`** → 401, no JWKS fetch happens (verify with a counting mock).
+- **`kid` injection: 50KB random kid** → 401 immediately, no JWKS fetch.
+- **Per-IP throttle**: 21 bad bearer requests from same IP within 1 minute → 22nd returns 429 + Retry-After.
+- **`iat` upper-age**: token with `iat = now - 25h` → 401 (older than 24h default).
+- **Multi-aud without azp**: aud = `["a", "b"]`, no azp → 401.
+- **Multi-aud with matching azp**: aud = `["api-aud", "other"]`, azp = clientID → 200.
+- **Identifier with bidi-override**: sub contains U+202E → 401.
+- **Identifier with comma**: sub = `"alice,bob"` → 401.
+- **Identifier over 256 bytes** → 401.
+- **`UserIdentifierClaim=email` at startup with EnableBearerAuth=true** → startup fails.
+- **Excluded URL + bearer**: bearer header presented on excluded URL → request forwarded, downstream sees no `Authorization` header (stripped).
+
+### 11.2 Unit tests (in `bearer_auth_test.go`)
+
+- `classifyToken`: ID-token detection, access-token detection by `scope`/`scp`/`token_use`, ambiguous → reject.
+- `resolveIdentifier`: precedence (`userIdentifierClaim` → `sub` → `client_id`/`azp`); missing → error; empty string → error.
+- `sanitizeIdentifier`: rejects all `unicode.IsControl`; accepts email/sub-style values.
+
+### 11.3 Introspection tests (`bearer_auth_introspection_test.go`)
+
+- Token valid + introspection `active=true` → 200.
+- Token valid + introspection `active=false` → 401.
+- Introspection endpoint 500 → 503.
+- Second request hits introspection cache (no second HTTP call).
+
+### 11.4 Startup validation tests (extend `settings_test.go` / `main_test.go`)
+
+- `EnableBearerAuth=true, Audience=""` → `New()` errors.
+- `EnableBearerAuth=true, StrictAudienceValidation=false` → succeeds with warning.
+- `EnableBearerAuth=false` → no validation; existing tests untouched.
+
+### 11.5 Cookie-path regression suite
+
+- All existing `TestServeHTTP_*` tests in `main_servehttp_test.go` pass unmodified.
+- Add: cookie session, `EnableBearerAuth=true`, no bearer header → identical behaviour to baseline.
+- Add: dirty session still triggers `Save()` after refactor.
+
+### 11.6 Principal invariants
+
+- `buildPrincipalFromSession`: `Source == sourceSession`; `IDToken` / `RefreshToken` populated when present in session.
+- `buildPrincipalFromBearerToken`: `Source == sourceBearer`; `IDToken == ""`, `RefreshToken == ""`.
+- `forwardAuthorized` produces identical headers for equivalent principals regardless of source.
+
+### 11.7 Coverage gate
+
+- New code in `bearer_auth.go` and `principal.go`: ≥ 90% line coverage.
+- `forwardAuthorized` coverage ≥ existing `processAuthorizedRequest` coverage baseline.
+
+### 11.8 Out of scope (follow-ups)
+
+- Load test of bearer vs cookie hot path.
+- Fuzzing the JWT parser.
+- Additional auth methods (mTLS, API keys) — design enables them, but they are separate work.
+
+## 12. Migration / Rollout
+
+Default-off. Existing deployments observe no behavioural change. Operators opt in by setting:
+
+```yaml
+enableBearerAuth: true
+audience: https://api.example.com   # required when bearer enabled
+# optional:
+stripAuthorizationHeader: true       # default
+requireTokenIntrospection: false     # default; set true for real-time revocation
+userIdentifierClaim: client_id       # optional override; defaults to sub fallback chain
+```
+
+Documentation: update `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` with a bearer-auth section, and add a new `docs/BEARER_AUTH.md` covering the security model, threat assumptions (token issuer is trusted; audience must be set; bearer means trust the issuer's revocation policy unless introspection enabled), and recommended configurations for common IdPs.
+
+## 13. Security Considerations
+
+| Concern | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Token confusion (ID token used as bearer) | Reuse `detectTokenType` (`token_manager.go:187-303`) which checks `nonce`, `typ: at+jwt`, `token_use`, `scope`, aud-vs-clientID. Belt-and-braces: explicit `nonce` + `token_use == "id"` rejection on top. |
+| Audience confusion (token for service B accepted by A) | `Audience` mandatory at startup; verified via existing `VerifyJWTSignatureAndClaims`; multi-aud tokens require matching `azp == clientID`. |
+| Replay-via-blacklist false positive | `verifyOpts{skipReplayMarking: true}` on bearer path. Gates ONLY the Set; the Get stays so revoked tokens still fail. |
+| Revocation lag | Optional RFC 7662 introspection. Bearer-path introspection cache TTL capped at 60s. Set `RequireTokenIntrospection=true` for real-time revocation. |
+| `alg`-confusion / `alg=none` attacks | Hard-pin asymmetric allowlist at bearer entry, **before** JWKS fetch. Prevents wasted upstream calls and locks out HS/none probes. |
+| `kid` injection / JWKS amplification | `kid` length cap (256 bytes) + charset allowlist enforced at bearer entry. |
+| Bearer 401 brute-force / oracle | Per-IP `failedBearerAttempts` cache; configurable threshold + penalty box returning 429 + `Retry-After`. |
+| `iat` clock-manipulation / forever-tokens | `MaxTokenAgeSeconds` upper bound (default 24h); cookie path unchanged. |
+| Identifier-driven header injection | `sanitizeIdentifier`: length cap, control-char + bidi-override + `,;=` rejection. `net/http` rejects CRLF on the wire too (defence in depth). |
+| Token leakage downstream | `StripAuthorizationHeader=true` by default. Also: `Authorization` stripped on excluded-URL requests so bearer can't leak into health/metrics downstream logs. |
+| Token-in-logs | All log paths log reason categories, not raw tokens. Identifier hashed via SHA-256 truncated to 8 hex chars before any info/warn-level emission (full identifier only at debug). New `safeLogAuthEvent(category, hashedIdentifier, reasonCode)` helper makes this hard to misuse. |
+| `email` claim spoofing | Startup fails if `EnableBearerAuth && UserIdentifierClaim == "email"`. Future human-user bearer iteration must add `email_verified` enforcement. |
+| Bypass on SSE / WS endpoints | SSE/WS bypass keeps cookie-only behaviour; bearer ignored. Operators choose to widen if needed. |
+| Mixed bearer + cookie precedence | Cookie wins by default (safer for browser scenarios); `BearerOverridesCookie=true` flips. WARN log on both-present requests. |
+| Configuration drift (operator forgets audience) | Startup fails when `EnableBearerAuth=true && Audience==""`. |
+| Downstream blast radius when `StripAuthorizationHeader=false` | Documented: forwarded bearer extends token's blast radius to all downstream services. Logs at those services become token stores. Operators must treat downstream log policy accordingly. |
+| Introspection auth method (pre-existing gap, called out) | `token_introspection.go:80` uses `client_secret_basic` only; does not honour `private_key_jwt`. Out of scope for this PR but documented as a follow-up; operators using `ClientAuthMethod=private_key_jwt` + `RequireTokenIntrospection=true` should be aware introspection will use basic auth. |
+
+## 14. Open Questions
+
+None — all design decisions resolved during brainstorming + security review. Implementation may surface incidental questions (e.g. exact clock-skew leeway in `jwt.Verify`); those are out of scope for this spec and handled in the implementation plan.
+
+## 14a. Security Review Reference
+
+This design was reviewed by the `security-reviewer` subagent on 2026-05-18. Findings incorporated:
+
+- **Critical**: C1 (classifier reuses `detectTokenType`), C2 (sub fallback dropped — unreachable due to `jwt.go:416`), C3 (replay-marking gates only Set, not Get; revocation regression test added).
+- **High**: H1 (alg pinned at bearer entry), H2 (kid length + charset), H3 (cookie wins by default, configurable), H4 (per-IP 401 throttle), H5 (multi-aud requires azp).
+- **Medium**: M1 (identifier max-length + bidi reject + delimiter chars), M2 (introspection cache TTL capped at 60s on bearer path), M4 (log-hashing via SHA-256[:8]), M5 (StripAuth blast-radius documented), M6 (iat upper-age bound), M7 (Authorization stripped on excluded URLs).
+- **Low/Nit**: L2 (renamed to `BearerEmitWWWAuthenticate`), N3 (startup rejects `UserIdentifierClaim=email`).
+- **Documented as pre-existing gaps (follow-up PRs)**: M3 (introspection auth method doesn't honour `private_key_jwt`).
+
+## 15. Implementation Plan Reference
+
+To be produced by the `writing-plans` skill in a follow-up document at `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-18-bearer-token-auth-plan.md`. The plan decomposes this design into ordered, independently-testable PRs.

+#     password: "strong-password"
+#     cacheMode: "hybrid"

+// Regression tests for FIX-02 (review-2026-09-10 finding at
+// middleware.go:105): shouldBypassAuth bypassed OIDC auth for ANY request
+// whose method is OPTIONS, not only genuine CORS preflights. A real
+// preflight always carries both an Origin header and an
+// Access-Control-Request-Method header; the R124 fix checked only the
+// method, so an unauthenticated `OPTIONS <protected-path>` with neither
+// header reached the backend unauthenticated (reproduced against
+// http.FileServer: 200 with the protected file's body).
+//
+// TestServeHTTP_ForgedPreflightDoesNotLeakBody hardens the residual gap a
+// follow-up review found in that fix: the Origin +
+// Access-Control-Request-Method check only rules out an accidental bare
+// OPTIONS request, not a deliberate attacker, since any non-browser client
+// can set both headers itself. bypassReasonOptions still forwarded to next
+// with no session check, so a forged preflight against http.FileServer
+// still returned the protected file's body.
+//
+// A later maintainer decision (the AllowUnauthenticatedPreflight config
+// option, settings.go) restored the released default: every OPTIONS request
+// -- genuine preflight or not -- needs auth unless the operator opts in.
+// Every test below that exercises the bypass path (positive or negative)
+// sets allowUnauthenticatedPreflight: true so it keeps testing the
