Reject token exchange responses without a Bearer token_type.
validateIssuedTokenType checks only issued_token_type, and the JWT-bearer flow skips that check. The BFF stores the resulting token in sess.Exchanged and always forwards it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. An empty or non-Bearer token_type can therefore cause upstream requests to fail until the cached token expires. Reject the response unless strings.EqualFold(tok.TokenType, "Bearer").

Treat HTTP 408 and 429 as temporary exchange failures.
Only 5xx responses produce ErrExchangeUnavailable. A rate-limited 429 response therefore produces ErrExchangeRejected. The server then deletes the valid login session and returns 401.
Classify 408 and 429 as unavailable. This prevents forced logout loops during temporary throttling.

Exercise the real refresh path before asserting the rotation invariant. The test constructs rotated without Exchanged, so both assertions only check zero-value behavior. They do not execute doRefresh or OIDC.SessionFromToken. If doRefresh later copies cur.Exchanged, this test still passes. Make the stub /token handler branch on grant_type, return a distinct refreshed subject token, run the real refresh path, and assert that the stored session has an empty ExchangedToken.

Restrict the matcher to key-set retrieval failures.
The generic phrases "unable to" and "failed to" also match permanent validation errors. For example, "Unable to verify the JWT signature with the JWKS key" is classified as transient.
This classification retries the rejected token and preserves its session. Subsequent requests can return 502 repeatedly instead of processing the permanent rejection as 401.
Match retrieval-specific phrases such as "unable to retrieve" and "failed to fetch". Add the alternate signature-verification wording to the permanent test cases.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Distinguish zero granted scopes from no exchanged token.
A successful exchange can return a token with an empty scope set. The current condition then preserves the login token's scopes, so the UI reports permissions that the forwarded token does not have.
Use ex.Token == "" to detect that no exchange result exists. If an exchanged token exists, copy its scopes even when the set is empty.

Make exchange caching atomic with refresh rotation.
When token exchange caching is enabled, doExchange reads and copies the subject-token session before calling Store.Put. doRefresh uses separate locking, writes the rotated session under the new token, and deletes the old key. The Store interface has no conditional update, and MemoryStore locks each operation separately. A concurrent exchange can therefore reinsert the stale subject-token session after refresh deletes it.
Use one shared session-update boundary for exchange caching and refresh rotation. The boundary must make the cache write conditional on the subject-token record still being current, or hold coordination across the read-modify-write and rekey/delete operations.

Token exchange for the AI Workspace BFF
Trade the user's login token for one minted specifically for the Platform API, so the
credential the BFF sends upstream is audience- and scope-scoped to that one API.
Off by default. A deployment that omits the new
[ai_workspace.auth.oidc.token_exchange]table behaves exactly as it does today: thelogin token is forwarded upstream unchanged. Nothing in this PR changes the behaviour
of an existing config.
Why
Two problems, one cause — the token the BFF forwards was minted for logging into the
AI Workspace, not for calling the Platform API.
Some enterprise IDPs cannot mint the platform's
ap:*scopes. Microsoft Entra IDis the documented case: it has no way to register them, and requesting the full set
exceeds its authorize-URL length limit. The existing workaround is
[auth.authorization] mode = "role", where the BFF and the Platform API each load thesame
role-to-scope-mapping.yamland expand roles locally. That works, but it is onegrant table hand-mirrored across two services, and a drift shows up as a UI offering
actions that then 403.
No least privilege on the upstream hop. The forwarded token is the full-privilege
session token, carrying whatever audience the login client happens to have.
An exchange fixes both. The corporate IDP proves who the user is; an STS that can
mint
ap:*scopes (WSO2 IS, Asgardeo) issues the token the Platform API actuallyauthorizes against. Both sides then read scopes off one token, and
[auth.authorization] modecan go back to"scope"on both — retiring the mirror.What the flow looks like
the session store is keyed by. Only the upstream
Authorizationheader changes.login an operator sees rather than a mystery 502 on the SPA's first call, and is
cached on the session and renewed on the proxy path afterwards.
Two grant types, because the IDPs disagree
This shaped the design and is the least obvious part of the PR.
Entra ID does not implement RFC 8693. It rejects
grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchangeoutright withAADSTS70003. Its on-behalf-of flow is a different specification (RFC 7523), not adialect of it:
token_exchange)jwt_bearer)grant_type…:token-exchange…:jwt-bearersubject_token+subject_token_typeassertion+requested_token_use=on_behalf_ofaudience/resourcescope(api://<app-id>/.default)issued_token_typein responseSince Entra is the IDP the platform documents as unable to mint
ap:*scopes,supporting only RFC 8693 would have missed the motivating deployment. So
grant_typeis a config key with both protocols behind one interface, validated against a closed
set at startup.
The key selects the protocol; the request carries the registered URI either way. Because
that URI is the form an IDP's own documentation shows, it is accepted as an equivalent
spelling of the short name. The set stays closed regardless — a value with no branch
behind it has no implementation, so it fails startup listing every accepted spelling
rather than being forwarded to the IDP as-is.
Confirmed RFC 8693 support (official docs): WSO2 IS / Asgardeo, Okta custom
authorization servers, Keycloak v2 (confidential clients only), PingFederate, PingOne,
Curity, PingAM. Not Entra ID.
Configuration
All keys live in
[ai_workspace.auth.oidc.token_exchange], a child of the login table.The minimal WSO2 / Asgardeo case is two keys:
client_id,client_secretandscopefall back to the login client's, andtoken_endpointto the one discovered fromauthority— set them only when theexchange differs from login.
Why a child table rather than more keys on
[auth.oidc]The two calls are genuinely two OAuth clients. Login posts
grant_type=authorization_codewith the login
client_id; the exchange postsgrant_type=…:token-exchangewith aclient_idan STS commonly registers separately. A table expresses that. It is achild of
[auth.oidc]rather than a sibling because both calls go to the same issuerand four keys inherit from the parent, which is what keeps the common single-application
deployment down to two lines.
Full per-key operator documentation is in
configs/config-template.toml; the designnotes are in
bff/TOKEN_EXCHANGE.md.Platform API side
No code change needed. Its IDP authenticator already validates issuer and audience
when configured, so two values must agree:
A mismatch 401s every request and looks like a broken exchange when the fault is
upstream — the single most likely misconfiguration, called out in the docs.
Security properties
These are deliberate, not incidental.
failed exchange fails the request; forwarding the login token instead would reach the
Platform API with the wrong audience and, on a role-mode IDP, no platform
authorization at all. A misconfiguration takes the UI down rather than silently
downgrading it, and is validated at startup wherever it can be.
IDP rejection destroys the session and returns 401 — it can never produce an
upstream token. An unavailable IDP keeps the session and returns 502, since logging
the user out over a transient blip would be self-inflicted. Neither response carries
the IDP's reason: whether the subject or the target was refused maps out the
deployment's trust configuration. The split cannot be made on the status code alone —
Asgardeo answers
invalid_grant(a 4xx) when its own fetch of the trusted issuer'sJWKS fails, which is a fault that clears by itself. That case, and
408/429, areclassified as unavailable, and the exchange retries up to three times within the

JWT-shaped regex as a backstop (GO-AUTH-003).

mounts (

Not done in this PR
Entra ID (
jwt_bearer) is still unverified against a live tenant. The OBO flow andthe
api://<app-id>/.defaultscope need a round trip before that grant is trusted inproduction. The RFC 8693 path no longer does — see below.
Not verified: switching an existing role-mode deployment to
mode = "scope"on bothsides. That is the payoff this PR is for, and it needs a deployment that is currently
running the mirror.
The Helm chart does not render the new table yet.

settles the key set.
Verified end to end against Asgardeo
The RFC 8693 path has been run against a live two-organization Asgardeo setup — Org A
authenticates the user, Org B trusts Org A as a trusted token issuer and mints the
ap:*token — with the Platform API validating the result via JWKS. The walkthrough isbff/ASGARDEO_TOKEN_EXCHANGE_DEMO.md.Five things had to be true that the code cannot check for you, each of which failed
first and is now documented in that file's troubleshooting table:
