Summary

Adds ondx, a Go CLI for OpenNDX management operations against Portal Backend (members, schemas, applications, policies), with a browser-based OAuth2 login, OIDC Discovery so most identity providers only need a base issuer URL, and named profiles so switching between environments (local dev, staging, ...) doesn't mean retyping every flag. Closes #549.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Performance improvement
  • Other (please describe):

Changes Made

  • cmd/cli/main.go - entry point wiring ondx login, ondx profile list/use/set, ondx members create, ondx schemas create, ondx applications create/list/get, and ondx policy update.
  • internal/cli/auth - browser-based OAuth2 Authorization Code + PKCE login (RFC 8252) with a local loopback callback server, token cache with automatic refresh (login.go, pkce.go, store.go, resolve.go), and OIDC Discovery (discovery.go): an --issuer/NDX_ISSUER flag that derives --auth-url/--token-url from {issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration, with explicit --auth-url/--token-url still available and taking precedence for IDPs that don't serve discovery at the standard path.
  • internal/cli/pbclient - a Portal Backend API client for the management operations above, reusing internal/pb/v1/models types.
  • internal/cli/profile - named profiles (ondx profile list/use/set) bundling issuer, client ID, scopes, callback port, Portal Backend URL, and TLS verification per environment. A built-in local profile matches this repo's ThunderID docker-compose stack, so ondx login works with zero flags out of the box. Any explicit flag overrides the active profile; --profile/NDX_PROFILE selects a profile for a single invocation without changing the default. Each non-default profile gets its own cached-token file (~/.openndx/credentials-<name>.json) so switching profiles can't pick up a token cached against a different identity provider.
  • thunderid/bootstrap/*.yaml - registers the NDX_CLI OAuth2 client, an ndx-admin operator user, and the OpenNDX_Admin role/group needed for ondx login to work end-to-end against the local ThunderID stack.
  • cmd/cli/README.md - usage walkthrough, per-command flag reference, and notes on TLS, callback port, ThunderID resource binding, and profiles.

Testing

  • I have tested this change locally
  • I have added unit tests for new functionality
  • I have tested edge cases
  • All existing tests pass

Manually exercised the full walkthrough in the README (login, members/schemas/applications create, policy update) against the local ThunderID + Portal Backend docker-compose stack, plus ondx profile set/use/list and per-invocation --profile/NDX_PROFILE overrides. Unit tests cover PKCE, the login/refresh flow (including ThunderID's resource= extra param), OIDC discovery (success, trailing-slash issuer, 404, malformed document), and profile config load/save (missing file falls back to the built-in default, a user-defined local profile isn't clobbered, unknown profile lookups error).

N/A (CLI tool) - see the Quick Start walkthrough in cmd/cli/README.md.

Additional Notes

Member/application creation against ThunderID still needs the manual-onboarding flags (--idp-user-id / --idp-application-id --idp-client-id) since Portal Backend's outbound IDP calls only implement Asgardeo's admin API today - see the README's Limitations section.

Deployment Notes

Local-dev only for now: the ThunderID bootstrap changes add an NDX_CLI OAuth2 client, an ndx-admin operator account, and an OpenNDX_Admin role/group to thunderid/bootstrap/*.yaml, picked up automatically the next time the docker compose stack (re)provisions ThunderID.

acceptable bodies. Add a test covering an oversized discovery response and
asserting it is rejected.

In `@internal/cli/auth/login.go`:
- Around line 92-101: Update the callback handler in Login to send to resultCh

send, including success and error branches. Preserve each callback’s response
behavior, and add a test that submits at least three callbacks to verify
repeated handlers do not block.

Addressed the coderabbitai findings in 5c3cb5f:

  • internal/cli/auth/discovery.go — bounded the discovery response body to 1 MiB via io.LimitReader, erroring out on anything larger, plus a test.
  • internal/cli/auth/login.go — guarded the callback's resultCh send with sync.Once so a repeated/duplicate callback can't deadlock the handler on the capacity-1 channel; added a test that fires 3 callbacks.
  • internal/cli/auth/store.goDefaultCredentialsPath now rejects profile names containing / or \, so a crafted --profile/NDX_PROFILE can't write the cached token outside ~/.openndx; added a test.
  • internal/cli/pbclient/client.gourl.PathEscape(applicationID) in GetApplication/UpdateApplicationPolicy; ListApplications now returns the full {items,count} envelope (ApplicationCollection) instead of discarding it, so applications list --json matches its documented raw-response behavior.
  • internal/cli/auth/resolve.go, internal/cli/profile/profile.go — fixed leftover 'ndx login'/'ndx profile list' hints the earlier ondx rename missed.
  • thunderid/bootstrap/application.yaml — reverted the unrelated rename of the pre-existing Sample Data Consumer M2M client back to its original name/description, per the Out of Scope Changes check (it's unrelated to this CLI work and its own descriptive comment block still called it "sample data-consumer").

Not changing:

  • ThunderID callback-port constraint — the suggestion to reject non-8765 callback ports for "the ThunderID profile" isn't something the CLI can generically enforce: profiles are just named flag bundles, so there's no reliable signal that a given profile/issuer is ThunderID versus any other IDP with its own redirect-URI rules. Hardcoding a check against the profile name local would be fragile and wouldn't generalize. If the redirect URI is wrong, ThunderID already rejects it and the browser shows that error; the CLI-side cost is just waiting out the login timeout, which is a minor UX rough edge rather than a functional or security bug.
  • Docstring coverage threshold — this repo's/session's convention is comments only where the why isn't obvious from the code, not blanket docstrings on every function; chasing an 80% coverage number would mean adding a lot of comments this codebase's style otherwise avoids.

Blocking issue: the built-in local profile and README target Portal Backend at http://localhost:3000, but compose.yml / .env.example expose it on 8083 (there is no 3000 mapping in compose.yml). After ondx login, members/schemas/applications/policy commands that use profile defaults will not hit PB.

That is made worse by a JWT audience mismatch the README gets wrong. ThunderID sets aud from the resource= parameter (this PR even adds resource server http://pb.openndx.local). Portal Backend's JWT middleware treats aud as an OAuth client ID and compose.yml sets IDP_ADMIN_PORTAL_CLIENT_ID=NDX_CLI. Default local login does not send resource=. The README's --extra resource=http://pb.openndx.local would make aud a URL PB will reject. Profile has no ExtraParams field, so this cannot be saved on the local profile either. thunderid/bootstrap/resource.yaml still marks the roles claim shape as UNVERIFIED; PB denies tokens that do not carry roles: ["OpenNDX_Admin"].

PTAL these suggestions:

  1. Set defaultLocalProfile.PBURL (and every README --pb-url) to http://localhost:8083.
  2. Make the local login path produce a token PB will accept: either default resource=http://pb.openndx.local and set IDP_ADMIN_PORTAL_CLIENT_ID to http://pb.openndx.local, or confirm ThunderID already stamps aud=NDX_CLI without resource= and delete the misleading README section.
  3. Log in as ndx-admin, decode the access token, and confirm roles is exactly ["OpenNDX_Admin"] (not a permission string). Remove the UNVERIFIED comment only after that.
  4. Re-run the README walkthrough against an unmodified docker compose stack (login, members create, schemas create, applications create/list/get, policy update) before claiming it works.
  5. Do not change suresh's existing password (Test@1234 -> 1234) as part of this PR unless that is an intentional, documented local-dev break

Not safe to merge. The advertised local-dev path cannot work against this repo's compose stack, so the PR description's claim that the README walkthrough was exercised end-to-end is not credible, and merging would ship a management CLI whose defaults miss Portal Backend.

Blocking issue: the built-in local profile and README target Portal Backend at http://localhost:3000, but compose.yml / .env.example expose it on 8083 (there is no 3000 mapping in compose.yml). After ondx login, members/schemas/applications/policy commands that use profile defaults will not hit PB.

That is compounded by a JWT audience mismatch the README also gets wrong. ThunderID sets aud from the resource= parameter (this PR even adds resource server http://pb.openndx.local). Portal Backend's JWT middleware treats aud as an OAuth client ID and compose.yml sets IDP_ADMIN_PORTAL_CLIENT_ID=NDX_CLI. Default local login does not send resource=. The README's --extra resource=http://pb.openndx.local would make aud a URL PB will reject. Profile has no ExtraParams field, so this cannot be saved on the local profile either. thunderid/bootstrap/resource.yaml still marks the roles claim shape as UNVERIFIED; PB denies tokens that do not carry roles: ["OpenNDX_Admin"].

Suggested fix:

  1. Set defaultLocalProfile.PBURL (and every README --pb-url) to http://localhost:8083.
  2. Make the local login path produce a token PB will accept: either default resource=http://pb.openndx.local and set IDP_ADMIN_PORTAL_CLIENT_ID to http://pb.openndx.local, or confirm ThunderID already stamps aud=NDX_CLI without resource= and delete the misleading README section.

  4. Re-run the README walkthrough against an unmodified docker compose stack (login, members create, schemas create, applications create/list/get, policy update) before claiming it works.
  5. Do not change suresh's existing password (Test@1234 -> 1234) as part of this PR unless that is an intentional, documented local-dev break.

Until those match a real token and a real PB listener, this should not close #549.

  1. Addressed.
  2. Currently, Portal backend doesn't validate the resource server. Once we bring that, we can add the resource properly.
  3. I verified.
  4. Re ran.
  5. Unifying the password across existing users, such that easier to follow the developer flow.

ThunderID's NDX_CLI redirect URI is pinned to http://127.0.0.1:8765/callback
(thunderid/bootstrap/application.yaml); any other --callback-port, including
the RFC 8252 default of 0, silently fails redirect URI validation. ondx login
now rejects that combination up front with a clear error.

Thanks for addressing above comments. Nonblocking nits:

  • cmd/cli/README.md still tells operators to pass --extra resource=http://pb.openndx.local. That would change aud to a URL PB will reject. The Quick Start does not use it; the Notes section still can mislead.
  • thunderid/bootstrap/resource.yaml still says the roles claim is UNVERIFIED after they said they verified it. Stale comment.
  • README still describes --callback-port 0 as the default; the local NDX_CLI path now rejects 0

But feel free to merge this, then do follow up PR (to delete or rewrite the README “ThunderID resource binding” example so nobody adds resource= against today’s PB)
