* Also use request context when verifying the ID token.

* Do not return raw auth errors to clients (user-enumeration risk).

* consistently set cookie the same way across function

* remove baseURL after declaration

* only enable OIDC routes if OIDC is enabled

* swagger doc for failure

* Only block when provider=local; move the check after parsing provider

* fix extended session comment

* reduce pii logging

* futher reduce pii logging

* remove unused DiscoveryDocument

* remove unused offline_access from default oidc scopes

* remove offline access from AuthCodeURL

* support host from X-Forwarded-Host

* set sane default claim names if unset

* error strings should not be capitalized

* Revert "run prettier on index.vue"

This reverts commit aa22330a23.

* Add timeout to provider discovery

* Split scopes robustly

* refactor hostname calculation

* address frontend prettier findings

* add property oidc on type APISummary

* LoginOIDC: Normalize inputs, only create if not found

* add oidc email verification

* oidc handleCallback: clear state cookie before each return

* add support for oidc nonce parameter

* Harden first-login race: handle concurrent creates gracefully and fix log key.

Co-authored-by: coderabbitai[bot] <136622811+coderabbitai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* support email verified claim as bool or string

* fail fast on empty email

* PKCE verifier

* fix: add timing delay to attachment test to resolve CI race condition

The attachment test was failing intermittently in CI due to a race condition
between attachment creation and retrieval. Adding a small 100ms delay after
attachment creation ensures the file system and database operations complete
before the test attempts to verify the attachment exists.

* Revert "fix: add timing delay to attachment test to resolve CI race condition"

This reverts commit 4aa8b2a0d829753e8d2dd1ba76f4b1e04e28c45e.

* oidc error state, use ref

* rename oidc.force to oidc.authRedirect

* remove hardcoded oidc error timeout

* feat: sub/iss based identity matching and userinfo endpoint collection

| 0.0.0.0 | Visible all interfaces (default behaviour) |
| 127.0.0.1 | Only visible on same host |
| 100.64.0.1 | Only visible on a specific interface (e.g., VPN in a VPS). |

#### Private network example
Below example starts homebox in an isolated network. The process cannot make
any external requests (including check for newer release) and thus more secure.
```bash
sudo systemd-run --property=PrivateNetwork=yes --uid $UID --pty --same-dir --wait --collect homebox --web-host "unix?path=/run/user/$UID/homebox.sock"
Running as unit: run-p74482-i74483.service

```
#### Systemd socket example
In the example below, Homebox listens on a systemd socket securely so that only
the webserver (Caddy) can access it. Other processes/containers on the host
cannot connect to Homebox directly, bypassing the webserver.
File: homebox.socket
```systemd
# /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/homebox.socket
[Unit]
Description=Homebox socket
[Socket]
ListenStream=/run/homebox.sock
SocketGroup=caddy
SocketMode=0660
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
```
File: homebox.service
```systemd
# /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/homebox.service
[Unit]
Description=Homebox
After=network.target
Documentation=https://homebox.software
[Service]

```
Usage:
```bash
systemctl start homebox.socket
```
::: warning Security Considerations
For postgreSQL in production:
- Do not use the default `postgres` user
- Do not use the default `postgres` database
- Always use a strong unique password
- Always use SSL (`sslmode=require` or `sslmode=verify-full`)
- Consider using a connection pooler like `pgbouncer`
For SQLite in production:
- Secure file permissions for the database file (e.g. `chmod 600`)
- Use a secure directory for the database file
- Use a secure backup strategy
- Monitor the file size and consider using a different database for large installations
:::
## OIDC Configuration
HomeBox supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication, allowing users to login using external identity providers like Keycloak, Authentik, Google, Microsoft, etc.
### Basic OIDC Setup
1. **Enable OIDC**: Set `HBOX_OIDC_ENABLED=true`
2. **Provider Configuration**: Set the required provider details:
- `HBOX_OIDC_ISSUER_URL`: Your OIDC provider's issuer URL
- `HBOX_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`: Client ID from your OIDC provider
- `HBOX_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`: Client secret from your OIDC provider
3. **Configure Redirect URI**: In your OIDC provider, set the redirect URI to:
`https://your-homebox-domain.com/api/v1/users/login/oidc/callback`
### Advanced OIDC Configuration
- **Group Authorization**: Use `HBOX_OIDC_ALLOWED_GROUPS` to restrict access to specific groups
- **Custom Claims**: Configure `HBOX_OIDC_GROUP_CLAIM`, `HBOX_OIDC_EMAIL_CLAIM`, and `HBOX_OIDC_NAME_CLAIM` if your provider uses different claim names
- **Auto Redirect to OIDC**: Set `HBOX_OIDC_AUTO_REDIRECT=true` to automatically redirect users directly to OIDC
- **Local Login**: Set `HBOX_OPTIONS_ALLOW_LOCAL_LOGIN=false` to completely disable username/password login
- **Email Verification**: Set `HBOX_OIDC_VERIFY_EMAIL=true` to require email verification from the OIDC provider
### Security Considerations
::: warning OIDC Security
- Store `HBOX_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` securely (use environment variables, not config files)
- Use HTTPS for production deployments
- Configure proper redirect URIs in your OIDC provider
- Consider setting `HBOX_OIDC_ALLOWED_GROUPS` for group-based access control
