What this PR does / why we need it:
This PR adds OIDC token authentication to the delivery service. Any OIDC-compliant JWT can now be used to authenticate by sending it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header or as access_token without api_url. The service verifies the token against the issuer's public JWKS endpoint, then matches the sub claim against a new oidc-cfg secret type that maps trusted issuers, audiences, and subjects to roles. The existing GitHub OAuth flows are unchanged.

Example use cases:

  • Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens from Gardener shoot clusters (via authentication.gardener.cloud/issuer=managed)
  • GitHub Actions OIDC tokens

Special notes for your reviewer:

  • Unit tests created for new code or existing unit tests updated (if applicable)
  • End-user documentation updated (if applicable)

Release note:

Add OIDC token authentication to delivery service

Walkthrough

Adds OIDC configuration models and secret loading. Extends login handling to verify bearer JWTs with provider JWKS and assign roles from OIDC subject bindings. Adds configuration documentation and authentication tests.

Changes

OIDC authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
OIDC contracts and configuration loading
src/secret_mgmt/oauth_cfg.py, src/deliverydb/model.py, src/secret_mgmt/__init__.py, src/features/__init__.py, charts/bootstrapping/values.documentation.yaml
Adds OIDC configuration, identifier, and role-origin models. Maps the oidc-cfg secret type. Loads OIDC configurations and documents issuer, audience, and subject-binding settings.
OIDC login and token verification
src/middleware/auth.py
Accepts OIDC bearer tokens, selects providers by issuer, retrieves cached JWKS clients, verifies RS256 JWTs, and returns OIDC identifiers.
OIDC role-binding refresh
src/access_manager_extension.py, src/middleware/auth.py
Matches OIDC subjects to configured roles, creates OIDC-origin bindings, removes stale OIDC bindings, and refreshes bindings during user updates.
OIDC authentication validation
src/test/test_oidc_auth.py
Tests discovery, caching, token verification, issuer lookup, algorithm rejection, role matching, expiry handling, and identifier deserialization.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 72099

This change adds OIDC bearer-token authentication and role assignment. Tokens may be exposed through URLs, and issuer metadata or signing keys may be retrieved over a downgraded connection, creating credential-replay and authentication-integrity risk that should be resolved before merge.

245-248: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add an OIDC deserialisation branch.

An OIDC login persists OidcIdentifier(sub, issuer). Lines 245-248 deserialize every non-GitHub record as UserIdentifier, which requires username. Any caller of deserialised_identifier for an OIDC record will fail instead of returning the stored identity.

Handle OAuthCfgTypes.OIDC with OidcIdentifier. Add OidcIdentifier to the property return type.

Proposed fix
-    def deserialised_identifier(self) -> GitHubAppIdentifier | GitHubUserIdentifier | UserIdentifier:
+    def deserialised_identifier(
+        self,
+    ) -> GitHubAppIdentifier | GitHubUserIdentifier | OidcIdentifier | UserIdentifier:
         idp_type = secret_mgmt.oauth_cfg.OAuthCfgTypes(self.type)
 
         if idp_type is secret_mgmt.oauth_cfg.OAuthCfgTypes.GITHUB:
             ...
+        elif idp_type is secret_mgmt.oauth_cfg.OAuthCfgTypes.OIDC:
+            return dacite.from_dict(
+                data_class=OidcIdentifier,

In `@charts/bootstrapping/values.documentation.yaml`:
- Around line 1954-1956: Update the OIDC configuration documentation near the
secrets.oidc-cfg parameter to explicitly state that tokens must use the RS256
signing algorithm, matching the fixed algorithms policy enforced by
verify_oidc_token.

In `@src/features/__init__.py`:
- Around line 798-801: Update deserialise_authentication so authentication
remains available when oauth_cfg() is absent but oidc_cfg() is configured:
require signing-cfg together with at least one of oauth_cfgs or oidc_cfgs,
allowing OAuthLogin to reach its OIDC branch. Add coverage for an OIDC-only
configuration and preserve the existing unavailable state when neither provider
configuration exists.

In `@src/middleware/auth.py`:
- Around line 467-469: Update the OIDC role-binding generation in the shown
generator to create one non-null RoleBindingOrigin with a stable key and pass it
to every emitted dm.RoleBinding instead of origin=None, preserving the existing
role iteration and ensuring RoleBinding.__hash__ can safely access origin.key.
- Around line 647-650: Update the header-based OIDC authentication flow around
the oidc_token assignment to pass use_refresh_token=False when completing login
from a Bearer token, preventing a persistent refresh-token cookie; preserve the
existing refresh-token behavior for the access_token query flow.
- Around line 406-409: Update the unverified token decode in the authentication
middleware to catch jwt.InvalidTokenError, including malformed bearer-token
DecodeError cases, and raise HTTPUnauthorized so invalid requests return 401
before verify_oidc_token proceeds.
- Around line 432-436: Update the authentication flow around PyJWKClient and
get_signing_key_from_jwt to reuse a provider-scoped JWKS client, initialize it
with the discovery document’s jwks_uri, and perform signing-key retrieval
asynchronously or off the event loop with bounded network timeouts. Preserve
token verification behavior while avoiding per-request client creation and
blocking I/O.

Apply the same fix in `@charts/bootstrapping/values.documentation.yaml` around
lines 1961 - 1962: The documented provider configuration is affected by the
incorrect discovery-versus-JWKS endpoint handling.

Apply the same fix in `@src/middleware/auth.py` around lines 432 - 435: Covered:
the discovery URL must be replaced with the discovered jwks_uri.

Thanks a lot for this contribution! 🙏🏼

One general remark on this change: In the current form, a user who logged in once via OIDC will keep the assigned role bindings forever. They are only evaluated and set during the initial login flow if the user identity is yet unknown.
For the GitHub IDP, this is covered by the access_manager_extension which regularly updates the assigned role bindings based on the currently active memberships in GitHub organisations and/or teams.
I think the easiest approach would be to extend this extension to also support the new OIDC type by updating the role bindings based on the current OIDC configuration, wdyt?

@8R0WNI3 thanks for your review. I addressed all review comments. A few highlights worth calling out:

Role binding lifecycle: As suggested, the access_manager_extension has been extended to support OIDC in the same way it handles GitHub. On each run it strips all OIDC-origin bindings and re-evaluates them against the current oidc-cfg, so removing a subject from the config revokes access within the next cycle (default: 10 minutes). The origin is tracked via a new OidcRoleBindingOrigin(issuer, sub) so the access manager only touches bindings it owns and leaves manually assigned ones intact.

oauth-cfg is now optional: Authentication is available with either oauth-cfg or oidc-cfg or both. Only signing-cfg remains required.

Manual end-to-end testing: I verified the functionality against a local delivery service instance using a real Gardener shoot SA token: happy path, wrong audience, config change propagation via the access manager, correct sub and issuer stored and returned by /auth/user, HTTPS enforcement, and pure OIDC without oauth-cfg.
