Summary

EPM-T38: a consuming app's local dev Keycloak runs on plain HTTP (http://localhost:12080/realms/mediabox24). openid-client/oauth4webapi enforce HTTPS-only issuers by default — client.discovery() throws unless the caller explicitly passes execute: [client.allowInsecureRequests] in its options, per its own type declarations. OidcMiddleware called discovery() with no options at all, so there was no way for a consuming app to opt into HTTP for local dev — the failure surfaced as a generic ClientError with nothing actionable in it.

Verified directly against openid-client's source: discovery()'s DiscoveryRequestOptions.execute doc explicitly documents this exact pattern, and the option also carries through to every subsequent request made with the resulting Configuration, not just discovery itself.

  • Added an explicit allowInsecureRequests?: boolean config option (default false) rather than auto-detecting localhost issuers by heuristic — matches openid-client's own explicit-opt-in design and avoids silently permitting insecure requests if an app's issuer config accidentally ends up pointing at a real http:// endpoint outside local dev. When true, passes execute: [client.allowInsecureRequests] into the discovery() call.

Test plan

  • bunx lerna run build --scope=@escendit/sveltekit-auth-keycloak — succeeds
  • bun run test:unit — 33 passed (2 new), asserting discovery() is called with/without the execute option depending on the config value
  • bun run check / standalone tsc --noEmit — same pre-existing failures already documented on main, no new errors

Documented in the package README's Configuration and Troubleshooting sections.

Summary by Sourcery

Support explicitly permitted plain-HTTP OIDC issuers while keeping secure HTTPS-only behavior by default.

New Features:

  • Add an explicit opt-in configuration option for allowing plain-HTTP OIDC issuers during local development.

Bug Fixes:

  • Enable discovery and subsequent OIDC requests to work with explicitly permitted non-HTTPS issuers.

Documentation:

  • Document the new insecure-request option, its secure default, and troubleshooting guidance in the Keycloak authentication README.

Tests:

  • Add coverage verifying discovery receives the insecure-request executor only when the option is enabled.

    • The setting is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled.
  • Documentation

    • Added configuration details and troubleshooting guidance for the new setting.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage confirming secure defaults and explicit insecure-request behavior.

EPM-T38: a consuming app's local dev Keycloak runs on plain HTTP
(http://localhost:12080/realms/mediabox24). openid-client/oauth4webapi
enforce HTTPS-only issuers by default - client.discovery() throws
unless the caller explicitly passes execute: [client.allowInsecureRequests]
in its options, per its own type declarations. OidcMiddleware called
discovery() with no options at all, so there was no way for a
consuming app to opt into HTTP for local dev - the failure surfaced
as a generic ClientError with nothing actionable in it.

Verified directly against openid-client's source: discovery()'s
DiscoveryRequestOptions.execute doc explicitly documents this exact
pattern, and the option also carries through to every subsequent
request made with the resulting Configuration, not just discovery
itself.

Added an explicit allowInsecureRequests?: boolean config option
(default false) rather than auto-detecting localhost issuers by
heuristic - matches openid-client's own explicit-opt-in design and
avoids silently permitting insecure requests if an app's issuer
config accidentally ends up pointing at a real http:// endpoint
outside local dev. When true, passes execute: [client.allowInsecureRequests]
into the discovery() call.

Tests: 2 new tests asserting discovery() is called with/without the
execute option depending on the config value (33 total, all passing).

Reviewer's Guide

Enables local development with plain-HTTP Keycloak issuers through an explicit, disabled-by-default allowInsecureRequests option, wiring openid-client's request hook into discovery and documenting the security tradeoff and troubleshooting path.

Change Details Files
Adds an explicit, secure-by-default configuration opt-in for plain-HTTP OIDC issuers.
  • Introduces optional public configuration with a false default and propagates it into the internal configuration.
  • Passes openid-client's allowInsecureRequests execution hook to discovery only when explicitly enabled, preserving the option for subsequent requests through the discovered configuration.
  • Adds unit coverage for both default and enabled discovery call signatures.

  • Adds the option to the documented configuration example and important-options list.
  • Explains the required local-development opt-in and warns against enabling it for potentially real issuers.
  • Adds troubleshooting guidance for discovery failures caused by plain-HTTP issuers.

**issue (testing):** The new tests do not clear `client.discovery`'s call history before each assertion, so `toHaveBeenCalledWith` can match a discovery call made by an earlier test rather than the middleware instance created in the current test. The tests therefore can pass without verifying that the current configuration selected the correct discovery options.

**Triggers:** When another test has already called `OidcMiddleware` with matching discovery arguments.

**Suggested fix:** Clear the mock in `beforeEach` with `vi.clearAllMocks()` or assert the most recent call via `vi.mocked(client.discovery).mock.lastCall`.
</issue_to_address>

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. 1 finding to address first, and when enabled, this permits the OIDC issuer and subsequent authentication requests to use plain HTTP, so credentials, tokens, or authorization responses could be intercepted or altered by a network attacker. Reverting prevents future insecure requests, but any exposed tokens or compromised sessions would not be undone.

Walkthrough

The Keycloak OIDC middleware adds an optional allowInsecureRequests setting. The setting defaults to false and enables plain-HTTP issuer discovery only when explicitly set to true. Tests and documentation cover the behavior.

Changes

Keycloak insecure request configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration contract and defaults
packages/auth/keycloak/src/lib/types.ts, packages/auth/keycloak/src/lib/config.ts
Adds allowInsecureRequests to public and internal configuration. The default is false.
Discovery wiring and guidance
packages/auth/keycloak/src/lib/middleware.ts, packages/auth/keycloak/src/lib/middleware.spec.ts, packages/auth/keycloak/README.md
Passes the insecure-request executor to OIDC discovery only when enabled. Tests and documentation describe the default and enabled behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5eade

The change adds an explicit opt-in for plain-HTTP issuers, but invalid truthy runtime values could unintentionally enable insecure requests; the PR is mergeable with owner awareness and a follow-up to require an exact true value.

…ear discovery mock between tests

CodeRabbit: a truthy non-boolean value (e.g. "false" or 1) from an
untyped caller would incorrectly enable insecure requests. Sourcery:
the new tests didn't clear client.discovery's call history, so
toHaveBeenCalledWith could match an earlier test's call instead of
the current instance.
