SameSite=None requires Secure=true per browser spec. When running over
plain HTTP (local dev, e2e tests), browsers reject or downgrade the
cookie, breaking session refresh. Fall back to SameSite=Lax for HTTP
while keeping SameSite=None for HTTPS (needed for the Electron desktop
app cross-origin scenario).
SameSite=Strict prevents the browser from sending the HttpOnly refresh
token cookie in cross-origin contexts like the Electron desktop app,
where the page runs on localhost but the API is on a remote host. This
caused sessions to expire quickly because refresh requests never
included the cookie.
SameSite=None allows cross-origin sending while HttpOnly still prevents
JavaScript from reading the cookie value (XSS protection).
Resolves#2309
syncUserGroups created its own db.NewSession() internally while being
called from AuthenticateUserInLDAP which already has an active session
with writes. In SQLite shared-cache mode this causes a lock conflict.
Pass the caller's session through instead, and add s.Commit() before
db.AssertExists calls in LDAP tests.
Refactor functions that created their own sessions when called from
within existing transactions, which caused "database table is locked"
errors in SQLite's shared-cache mode.
Changes:
- Add files.CreateWithSession() to reuse caller's session
- Refactor DeleteBackgroundFileIfExists() to accept session parameter
- Add variadic session parameter to notifications.Notify() and
Notifiable.ShouldNotify() interface
- Update all Notify callers (~17 sites) to pass their session through
- Use files.CreateWithSession in SaveBackgroundFile and NewAttachment
- Fix test code to commit sessions before assertions
Add defer s.Close() to sessions that were never closed:
- auth.GetAuthFromClaims inline session
- models.deleteUsers cron function
- notifications.notify database insert
- Login creates a server-side session and sets an HttpOnly refresh
token cookie alongside the short-lived JWT
- POST /user/token/refresh exchanges the cookie for a new JWT and
rotates the refresh token atomically
- POST /user/logout destroys the session and clears the cookie
- POST /user/token restricted to link share tokens only
- Session list (GET) and delete (DELETE) routes for /user/sessions
- All user sessions invalidated on password change and reset
- CORS configured to allow credentials for cross-origin cookies
- JWT 401 responses use structured error code 11 for client detection
- Refresh token cookie name constants annotated for gosec G101
As discussed on Matrix, Vikunja currently prevents users from using LDAP
authentication if the server allows anonymous binds (common in local
environments like YunoHost). The application would previously trigger a
`log.Fatal` if `AuthLdapBindDN` or `AuthLdapBindPassword` were left
empty in the configuration.
#### **How this fixes the problem:**
* **Validation:** Removed the strict requirement for Bind credentials in
`InitializeLDAPConnection`.
* **Connection Logic:** Updated `ConnectAndBindToLDAPDirectory` to
attempt an `UnauthenticatedBind` from the `go-ldap` library when no
credentials are provided.
* **Safety:** If a Bind DN is provided, the behavior remains unchanged
(authenticated bind).
#### **Testing:**
* Tested manually on a **YunoHost** instance by replacing the binary.
* Confirmed that Vikunja now successfully starts and authenticates users
via the local LDAP (localhost) without requiring a service account.
* Added a basic unit test in `pkg/modules/auth/ldap/ldap_test.go` to
ensure the initialization logic doesn't crash with empty credentials.
*Note: This is my first contribution to a Go project (assisted by an LLM
for syntax). Feedback on code style is more than welcome!*
Remove email, name, emailRemindersEnabled, and isLocalUser from user JWT
claims, and isLocalUser from link share JWT claims. These fields are never
used from the token - the backend always fetches the full user from the
database by ID, and the frontend fetches user data from the /user API
endpoint immediately after login.
Also simplify GetUserFromClaims to only extract id and username, and
remove the now-unnecessary email override in the frontend's
refreshUserInfo.
This changes the error handling to a centralized HTTP error handler in `pkg/routes/error_handler.go` that converts all error types to proper HTTP responses. This simplifies the overall error handling because http handler now only need to return the error instead of calling HandleHTTPError as previously.
It also removes the duplication between handling errors with and without Sentry.
🐰 Hop along, dear errors, no more wrapping today!
We've centralized handlers in a shiny new way,
From scattered to unified, the code flows so clean,
ValidationHTTPError marshals JSON supreme!
Direct propagation hops forward with glee,
A refactor so grand—what a sight to see! 🎉
Problem:
When using Casdoor as an OpenID provider, there's an inconsistency between the user information in the JWT token and the UserInfo endpoint. The token contains the user's unique ID in the `name` field, while the UserInfo endpoint correctly returns the user's display name.
Solution:
This PR adds a new `ForceUserInfo` option to the OpenID provider configuration. When enabled, it forces the use of the UserInfo endpoint to retrieve user information instead of relying on claims from the ID token.
Impact:
- Default behavior remains unchanged (backward compatible)
- New option allows administrators to force using UserInfo endpoint data
- Particularly useful for providers like Casdoor that don't fully comply with OIDC standards
Related:
I've opened an issue in the Casdoor repository (https://github.com/casdoor/casdoor/issues/3806) to discuss the root cause. However, changing Casdoor's token structure might cause significant compatibility issues for existing integrations, so it's unclear if this can be fixed at the provider level. This PR provides a workaround in Vikunja that doesn't affect existing functionality.
