🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
🔴 Intermittent test failure: time.Sleep(3 * time.Second) makes max_age expiry depend on wall-clock advancement. If the persisted authentication timestamp and test clock do not advance past the one-second window, the session can be reused and the credential-prompt assertion fails unpredictably in CI.
Set the session authentication time through a deterministic test helper or injected clock. Then remove both sleeps.

As per path instructions, “sleeping for a fixed duration and asserting state” is an intermittent test pattern.

Skipping this one because the mechanism it asks for doesn't exist. There's no helper to backdate a session's AuthenticatedAt and no clock seam in the session service — time.Now() is called directly, and the only runtime knob (/server-config/session) controls session timeouts, not the authentication time that max_age compares against. Building one means adding a clock abstraction to a security-relevant service plus a test-only override reachable from a running server: production change for test convenience, and a design decision rather than a cleanup. The sleeps are also the behaviour under test rather than incidental waiting — these tests verify max_age=1 against a session that must genuinely be older than a second, and the suite already uses the same idiom elsewhere (logout_negative_test.go sleeps out a real ID-token lifetime). Cost is 9 seconds in a suite that already runs 51s with 19s and 15s timeout tests, and there's been no flakiness. Worth doing properly as its own change, converting the time-dependent tests in both max_age_test.go and session_timeout_test.go together.

@Thumimku, thanks for the detailed context. The current test infrastructure has no safe deterministic way to backdate AuthenticatedAt.
A clock seam and consistent conversion of the related time-dependent integration tests should be a separate design change. Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for that work?

Learning: In the Go integration tests for `tests/integration/oauth/sso/max_age_test.go`, `time.Sleep` establishes a real session age for `max_age` assertions because the session service calls `time.Now()` directly and has no clock seam or helper to backdate `AuthenticatedAt`. A deterministic clock solution should be designed as a separate change and should cover related time-dependent tests, including `session_timeout_test.go`.

Can't we reuse the existing id token hint verification we already have at ciba, etc.?
Purpose
The authorization endpoint and the authentication flow did not consult the SSO session when
answering the OIDC authentication-context parameters, so four related behaviours were wrong:
auth_timewas derived from authorization-code creation rather than the session'sauthentication time, so it advanced on every authorization even when no new authentication
took place (auth_time in the ID token is taken from authorization code creation rather than the session's authentication time #5105).
prompt=loginwas silently ignored: an existing session was reused despite the requestasking for a fresh authentication.
max_agesmaller than the session's age failed the request at the end of the flow(
FET-1082) instead of re-authenticating, leaving the client unable to proceed even with theEnd-User present.
prompt=nonealways returnedlogin_required, andid_token_hintwas not consulted at all,so silent re-authentication was unavailable.
Approach
Four changes, all resolving to the same idea: the SSO session is the authority on when and as
whom the subject authenticated.
auth_timefrom the session.AuthAssertExecutornow stamps the flow assertion with theresolved session's authentication time, and the assertion decoder prefers it over the
iatfallback.
AuthorizationCodegained an explicitAuthTimefield so the claim no longer sharesTimeCreated, whose other job is computing the code's expiry. Without that split, a code mintedover a reused session inherited the session's age and was rejected at insertion as already
expired.
Forced re-authentication.
prompt=loginsets a runtime flag thatSSOCheckExecutorhonors bydeclining to reuse the session, and an exceeded
max_agedoes the same. Both route down theexisting
onFailure: prompt_credentialsedge rather than adding a new path, and the sessionhandle is still shared so the re-authentication attaches to the same session.
Session authentication time refresh. A re-authentication attaches to the existing session, so
SaveCheckpointnow moves itsAuthenticatedAtforward. Without this the session kept claimingthe original login, which under-reported
auth_timeand made a latermax_agecheck reject arequest it actually satisfied.
prompt=noneandid_token_hintat the authorize endpoint. The endpoint resolves theclient's flow, reads the per-flow SSO cookie, and answers from the session:
login_requiredwhenthere is none, when
id_token_hintnames a different subject, or when the authentication isolder than
max_age. The unconditionallogin_requiredmoved out of the request validator soPAR is unaffected. Both new dependencies are optional and nil in the embedded engine, which has
no session store;
prompt=nonekeeps returninglogin_requiredthere.Two deliberate decisions worth flagging for review:
id_token_hintsignature and issuer are verified but its expiry is not. OIDC Core requiresan expired hint to still be accepted: it identifies who was authenticated, not whether they
still are.
max_ageis treated as no constraint rather than as a zero-secondwindow, matching the existing assurance check. All three sites that read
max_ageshare thesesemantics.
Known limitation.
checkPromptNoneverifies that a live session exists, not that this flow'sspecific checkpoint is present in it. A flow with more than one SSO-Check node (step-up
authentication) could therefore start under
prompt=noneand still reach a prompt. No shippedflow has that shape, and the behaviour is not a regression, so it is left as follow-up: the
intended fix is a passive-authentication mode on the flow engine, which needs its own discussion
and a change to how flow errors map to OAuth error codes.
Enabling SSO on the Default Authentication Flow is deliberately not included: it changes the
behaviour every new application inherits and deserves a separate discussion.
