# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL cannot currently be used as an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server by
clients that need to register themselves at runtime:
- There is no [OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration (RFC
7591)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7591) endpoint, and no
`registration_endpoint` is advertised in the discovery document.
- This blocks [Model Context Protocol
(MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) clients (Claude Desktop,
claude.ai, Cursor, the MCP SDKs), whose OAuth 2.1 authorization profile
expects an Authorization Server that supports dynamic client
registration. They self-register before any user context exists and only
then start the authorization code + PKCE flow.
# How the Problems Are Solved
## Control plane: instance security settings
No feature flag and no runtime config. A
`DynamicClientRegistrationSettings` message is nested under the instance
`SecuritySettings` in `settings/v2`, next to `embedded_iframe` and
`enable_impersonation`:
| `enabled` | `allow_unauthenticated` | Behaviour |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `false` (default) | — | `POST /oauth/v2/register` returns `404`,
`registration_endpoint` absent from discovery |
| `true` | `false` (default) | Token-gated registration, client homed in
the token's organization |
| `true` | `true` | Open registration for MCP hosts, client homed in the
instance default organization |
Both values are carried on `authz.Instance` and loaded with the
instance, exactly like `EnableImpersonation`, so the discovery document
and the endpoint read them per request without an extra query.
`allow_unauthenticated` implies `enabled` in both implementations, so a
single setting closes the endpoint.
Adding the two columns bumps the projection table to
`projections.security_policies3`, following what the impersonation
setting did for `security_policies2`.
## Authorization: a dedicated permission, not `project.app.write`
- New org-scoped permission **`project.app.register_dynamic`**, granted
by default to `ORG_OWNER`, `IAM_OWNER` and `IAM_ORG_MANAGER` — in both
`InternalAuthZ` and `SystemAuthZ`, mirroring where `project.app.write`
already lives.
- New built-in role **`ORG_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_REGISTRAR`** carrying only
that permission, so a service user can self-register clients without
gaining write access to the organization's existing applications.
- Open mode (`allow_unauthenticated = true`) requires no token and no
permission: that is the MCP self-register path.
- A valid token whose user lacks the permission is answered with **`403
insufficient_scope`** (RFC 6750 §3.1) rather than `401 invalid_token`,
so a caller can tell "your token is bad" from "your token may not do
this". `verifyAccessToken` also reports invalid tokens as permission
denied, so the authorization failure is marked explicitly to keep the
two apart.
The check runs once, at the endpoint, right after the token is verified
and before any state is created, so it also gates the auto-provisioning
of the organization's DCR project. The permission itself lives in the
command layer next to the others
(`Commands.CheckPermissionRegisterDynamicClient`). As the OIDC endpoints
are not behind the authorization interceptor, the caller identity is
derived from the verified token, the way token exchange does for the
impersonating actor.
## Registration itself
- **Registered clients are ordinary OIDC applications.** The endpoint
reuses the existing application-creation events
(`NewApplicationAddedEvent` and `NewOIDCConfigAddedEvent`), so the whole
token, authorization and introspection flow keeps working unchanged.
They are stored in a dedicated, auto-provisioned project named `ZITADEL
DCR` per organization (name lookup), so they do not pollute the
`IAMProject` or other projects.
- Input is validated with the existing `GetOIDCV1Compliance` rules;
`private_key_jwt` and `jwks`/`jwks_uri` are rejected with
`invalid_client_metadata`.
- **Endpoint wiring without forking the library.** `NewServer` calls
`op.RegisterServer` instead of `op.RegisterLegacyServer`, so the new
route can be added through the same `op.WithSetRouter` hook as the
authorize callback. `op.RegisterLegacyServer` appends a middleware after
the caller options, which chi forbids once a route has been registered;
`op.NewIssuerInterceptor` reproduces the issuer middleware it would
otherwise add. The `/oauth/v2` routing prefix is unchanged.
# Additional Changes
- **`application_type` inference for custom-scheme redirects** (last
commit, isolated). `application_type` is an OpenID Connect member; RFC
7591 does not define it, so clients that only implement RFC 7591 omit
it. Native MCP hosts doing so register custom-scheme redirect URIs,
which ZITADEL reserves for native applications, and the OIDC default of
`web` rejected them with `invalid_redirect_uri`. Inference is limited to
custom schemes and to an absent `application_type`, so every request
accepted today keeps its current application type and auth method — an
`http` loopback redirect still yields a web application. Happy to drop
this commit if you would rather keep it out of this PR.
- **Docs**: a Dynamic Client Registration integration guide, a
`registration_endpoint` section on the OpenID Connect endpoints page,
and the new role in the administrators table (plus its description in
the Console translations).
# Additional Context
- Part of #9810. This is **Phase 1 (DCR)**; #12315 adds RFC 7592 and
#12316 adds CIMD, both stacked on this branch and rebased once this
lands.
- Implements the control-plane and authorization model requested in the
review of this PR, itself a refinement of the direction in
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9810#issuecomment-4891176997.
- **Out of scope (deliberately)**: RFC 7592, CIMD, persisting free-form
metadata (`logo_uri`, `contacts`, and similar), and `private_key_jwt` /
`jwks_uri` (rejected cleanly). No new event types.
- Follow-ups explicitly left out, per the review: DCR client lifecycle
and richer audit, consent and custom scopes, JWT / `aud` (RFC 8707), and
RFC 8414 AS metadata (currently absent from both ZITADEL and
`zitadel/oidc`).

* Use slices.Contains over custom function
* Correctly remove roles from granted roles
* fix(setup): repair user grants with stale roles (GHSA-v859-c572-qh5p)
Add setup step 73 that reconciles existing user grants whose roles were
left too broad by the buggy cascade removal in removeRoleFromUserGrant.
The corruption lives in the eventstore event payloads, so the step pushes
a corrective user.grant.cascade.changed event per affected grant (roles
intersected with the currently valid set) and re-triggers the user grant
projection. Runs in the second setup slice, after the projection tables
it reads have been created.

* fix(setup): scope GHSA-v859-c572-qh5p repair to grant-based user grants
Direct user grants can never be hit by this bug (only ChangeProjectGrant's
multi-role cascade to grant-based grants can trigger it), so drop the
direct-grant branch from the finder query to avoid stripping unrelated,
legitimate roles that merely mismatch for other reasons (e.g. stale
role_key drift). Also exclude removed instances from the migration scope,
and log the number of grants fixed per instance.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Zitadel exposes the secrets generator configuration through its admin
api. This allows instance admins to manage them on their own and they
can create overwrite the system / runtime defaults (incl. expiration).
This very much needed in multi-instance scenarios such as zitadel.cloud.
Currently the invite code configuration was not manageable through the
API, but only runtime config.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- added the `invite_code` type to the API allowing it to be set and
retrieved.
- added the type to console's management list
- added the type to be stored on instance setup
- change the `GetSecretGenerator` endpoint to fall back to the runtime
config if no config is stored on the instance itself
- ensure the `length` and at least one charset is enabled, return an
error otherwise
- expiry is not enforced, so 0 allows codes with no expiry (current
state)

# Which Problems Are Solved
- Upgrading to `zitadel/passwap` v0.12.1 introduced new encoded-hash
validation paths that still had review feedback open.
- Secret hasher defaults were internally inconsistent (`Hasher.Cost: 4`
vs `Limits.Bcrypt.MinCost: 10`), which could reject hashes created by
the configured hasher.
- New validation error IDs/messages and test coverage needed to be
aligned with project conventions and expected behavior branches.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Kept the dependency upgrade to `zitadel/passwap` v0.12.1 and completed
the validation integration.
- Updated `ValidateEncodedHash` error handling in
`internal/crypto/passwap.go` to:
- use unique random-style error IDs,
- return `Errors.Hash.NotSupported` for no-verifier cases,
- keep invalid-hash branches mapped to invalid argument errors.
- Expanded `TestHasher_ValidateEncodedHash` in
`internal/crypto/passwap_test.go` to cover and assert:
- bounds error branch,
- no-verifier branch,
- generic invalid-hash branch,
- expected ZITADEL error IDs/messages.
- Restored lost inline verifier-context comments for argon2 and md5plain
verifier entries.
# Additional Changes
- Added the missing explanatory `Limits` comment for `SecretHasher` in
`cmd/defaults.yaml`.
- Corrected `SecretHasher.Limits.Bcrypt.MinCost` from `10` to `4` to
match the configured default bcrypt cost and avoid configuration
footguns.

# Which Problems Are Solved
This PR introduces the possibility of using the relational DB when
calling the ListSession gRPC endpoint.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Implement the Querier interface for ListSession:
- Create a `domain` model for the Session object to be able to map the
gRPC session into it.
- Match the permission filters on ES side to be sure the same sessions
are returned
- Implement converter methods to go from `gRPC` to `domain` models (both
ways)
- Fix the session sql relational migration: rework the trigger to update
the `expiration` field to perform the update only when the input
`lifetime` has a non-zero value.
- Link the Querier implementation with the gRPC endpoint
- Run the same integration tests against the relational DB, making sure
the outcome is the same. ⚠️ Due to missing permission checks, some
divergence is expected. Hence, specific code to circumvent the
differences has been put in place

Fixes#11730
The v1 gRPC middleware can return native gRPC status errors such as
`codes.Unauthenticated` when the auth header is missing.
Those errors were being passed through the generic gRPC error converter,
which only handled ZITADEL errors and downgraded raw gRPC statuses to
`codes.Unknown`.
Through grpc-gateway that caused `/auth/v1/users/me` to return HTTP 500
instead of HTTP 401.
So this change preserves native gRPC status errors in
`ZITADELToGRPCError`, keeps `ExtractZITADELError` aligned with those
transport codes for activity reporting, and adds regression coverage for
the converter, middleware, and gateway HTTP behavior.

- Recovery codes added via `GenerateRecoveryCodes` were never listed as
active authentication methods by `ListAuthenticationMethodTypes`. The
`user_auth_method` projection reducer (`reduceInitAuthMethod`) set the
state to `MFAStateNotReady`, expecting a subsequent verification event
to transition it to `MFAStateReady`. Unlike TOTP, U2F, and Passwordless
— which all have distinct verification events — recovery codes have no
such event, so they were permanently stuck in `NotReady`.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Introduced a dedicated `reduceAddRecoveryCodes` reducer for
`HumanRecoveryCodesAddedEvent` that sets `MFAStateReady` immediately,
since recovery codes are usable as soon as they are generated.
- Uses `NewUpsertStatement` (instead of `NewCreateStatement`) so that
regenerating recovery codes for the same user updates the existing row
rather than failing on a duplicate key conflict.
- Removed the `HumanRecoveryCodesAddedEvent` case from
`reduceInitAuthMethod`.
# Additional Changes

# Which Problems Are Solved
In the "new" structured logging, request details were added in different
middlewares, such as request, instance and user IDs. This meant the the
upstream request logging middleware did not have access to metadata that
got added later, resulting in incomplete logs. Furthermore it was not
possible to correlate an API error response to log output.
# How the Problems Are Solved
A mutable request details object is added to the context early on. When
the api authz function run, the instance and user IDs are added to this
object as they become available. Every logline emitted after this
(time-wise) will then all contain these details under the `request` log
group.

Request IDs are now also returned with a response header or metadata.
Depending on the protocol:
- HTTP calls always return the request ID as header, regardless of
status
- gRPC calls always return the request ID as header, even if there was
an error
- connect RPC calls returns the request ID as header on success, trailer
in case of error. This is because header must be set on the response
object, which is nil in case of error. When there is an error, metadata
can be added which are then sent as trailers.
# Additional Changes
- Use the existing call duration middleware for both request ID and
logging for a consistent request start timestamp in all layers.
- Upgrade sloggcp for some fixes (notably TraceID)
- Modify the NoCache middleware so it uses `SetHeaders` instead of
`SendHeaders`. The latter prevented any other handler from setting
headers, including the new request ID middleware.

request's connection. Or in the case of gRPC completely killing the
service.
Allthough panics are still individual bugs that need to be solved, this
PR makes sure a panic is gracefully handled and an understandable error
is returned to the client.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Recover in the middleware interceptors for the 3 API protocols (HTTP,
gRPC, connect).
- HTTP middleware uses formatted responses for:
- OIDC errors (JSON formatted response)
- UI (error page rendering)
- SCIM
- Upon recovery an alert level log is printed (ERROR+4 for stdlib log
handlers)

# Which Problems Are Solved
Currently, metadata can be set/updated only for human users, but it
should be available also for service accounts (machine users).
# How the Problems Are Solved
This is achieved by:
- adding a metadata field at the root level in `CreateUserRequest`,
which makes it available for both `human` and `machine` user types
- returning an error when both the root level and human-level `metadata`
fields are set in the `CreateUserRequest`
- setting `human` and `machine` metadata from the root `metadata` field
in the server layer
- pushing `user.metadata.set` event during machine user creation in the
command layer
- adding integration tests

# Which Problems Are Solved
1. `nx run @zitadel/api:test-unit` panics in
`TestCommandSide_ChangeUserHuman` due to two test cases (added in
0261536) missing the required `loginPaths` field. Since the field type
is `func(*testing.T) LoginPaths`, its zero value is `nil`, and calling
it causes a SIGSEGV.
2. Three targets in `apps/api/project.json` (`test-unit`, `build`,
`build-linux`) were silently non-cacheable because NX does not merge
`cache: true` from `targetDefaults` when a project-level target
overrides other properties like `dependsOn` or `inputs`.
3. `TestServer_AuthorizeOrDenyDeviceAuthorization` integration test is
flaky — it uses hardcoded `5*time.Second` timeouts for `EventuallyWithT`
polling, while the rest of the file uses
`WaitForAndTickWithMaxDuration(ctx, time.Minute)`. Under CI load, 5
seconds is insufficient and the empty ID cascades into a validation
error.
# How the Problems Are Solved
**Test panic fix:**
- Added missing `loginPaths: expectLoginPathsNoCall` to both broken test
cases ("change human email verified (self-management), not allowed" and
"change human phone verified (self-management), not allowed").
**NX cache fix:**
- Added explicit `"cache": true` to `test-unit`, `build`, and
`build-linux` targets in `apps/api/project.json`.
- Verified with `pnpm nx show project @zitadel/api --json` that all
three targets now resolve with `cache: true`.
**Integration test flakiness fix:**
- Replaced all 6 hardcoded `assert.EventuallyWithT(t, ...,
5*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond)` calls in
`TestServer_AuthorizeOrDenyDeviceAuthorization` with
`require.EventuallyWithT(t, ..., retryDuration, tick)` using
`integration.WaitForAndTickWithMaxDuration(CTXLoginClient,
time.Minute)`.
- Changed from `assert` (non-fatal) to `require` (fatal) so timeout
failures stop the test immediately instead of cascading with empty IDs.
# Additional Context
- The broken unit test landed on main because CI skips `lint_test_build`
on pushes to main (`if: github.ref != 'refs/heads/main'`). A follow-up
issue was created: #11696.
- The integration test flakiness was missed by the previous fix in
#10752.

# Which Problems Are Solved
This PR adds support for storing and retrieving refresh tokens from
external identity providers during the IDP intent flow.
# How the Problems Are Solved
* Updated `idp.proto` (v2 and v2beta): added an optional `refresh_token`
field to `IDPOAuthAccessInformation`, which, in turn, is used in
`RetrieveIdentityProviderIntentResponse`
* Added the `IDPRefreshToken` field to the IDP intent `SucceededEvent`
struct, and updated the corresponding constructor to set the refresh
token
* Added the `IDPRefreshToken` field to `IDPIntentWriteModel`, and
updated `reduceOAuthSucceededEvent` to populate refresh token from
events
* Updated `tokensForSucceededIDPIntent` function to extract and encrypt
the refresh token from IDP session, if set
* Updated `idpOAuthTokensToPb` function to decrypt refresh token before
returning to clients
* Updated unit and integration tests
# Additional Changes
Updated the link to the JWT IDP docs linked in the Console
# Additional Context
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/11047
# Which Problems Are Solved
The user service v2 didn't allow the specify or change the access token
type for users of type machine and referred to using the management API,
which in return was already deprecated and linked to the user service.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added a possibility to specify the access token type in the creation and
update request.
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- closes#10850
- requires backport to v4.x

# Which Problems Are Solved
In login V2, when the user started the login flow of an external IDP,
there was no login_hint passed to the external provider. This required
the user to enter their username again. Whilst they already entered it
in Zitadel. By adding the `login_hint` parameter, the username should
already be filled in on the external idp.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Pass the `login_hint` parameter to the external idp.
# Additional Changes
Also added the `login_hint` to the event-store for audit trailing.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Inconsistent naming of service account, found in the following
variations:
- Machine User
- machine user
- Service User
- Machine Account
- Technical Account
- User: Type Machine
# How the Problems Are Solved
Attentive search and replace.
Localizations have been translated using Copilot
# Additional Changes
Some unused methods have been removed from the Go code.

- Closes#11285
# Which Problems Are Solved
While Zitadel provides a possibility to restrict certain languages to be
used, the corresponding list could not be retrieved in the settings
service (v2). This blocked login v2 implementations from respecting the
list and they would always use all available languages.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Retrieve the list when checking the instance and pass it into the
context.
- Return it as part of the existing `GetGeneralSettingsResponse`
- This allows us to remove an additional query in some other cases /
endpoints.
# Additional Changes
none
# Additional Context
- required for https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/11372

# Which Problems Are Solved
- When no auth was present on a smtp configuration, the `auth` field was
`nil` on the response while it should be `none`.
- Scopes were not properly retrieved from the database resulting in all
scopes being combined in one scope when retrieving the configuration.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Set `auth` to `none` when no auth is configured
- Use `database.TextArray[string]` as type to get the scopes from the
database
# Additional Changes
# Additional Context
# Which Problems Are Solved
In many cases IAM was used where instance was meant.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Rename wrong usage of IAM to instance all over the code base.
- Add an agents.md which explains the terms used in Zitadel's
architecture.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Naming inconsistencies - User (Human)
# How the Problems Are Solved
Most of the occurrences have not been changed. `User (Human)` was mostly
changed when talking about code objects and where I felt it was
necessary to distinguish them from machine users.
When both human and machine user occurrences were found, the machine
user has been changed to service account (see
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/11285)
# Additional Context
- Closes#11284
