Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented here. Format loosely follows Keep a Changelog; versions correspond to git tags (vX.Y.Z) and nodejs/package.json's version.

Unreleased

[1.1.17] - 2026-07-18

Added

• conf.ldap.ldapsHost and conf.ldap.ldapsPort config options (also settable via app_ldap__ldapsHost / app_ldap__ldapsPort). When ldapsHost is set, the /integrations page advertises that hostname for direct LDAPS binds instead of deriving it from the public OAuth issuer. This lets operators use an internal-only hostname (e.g. ldap.internal.example.com or sso-manager on the Docker network) and avoid port-forwarding 636 to the internet.
• A contextual help panel on /integrations → LDAP explaining why LDAPS needs a hostname (not an IP), why 636 should not be publicly forwarded, and the recommended internal-DNS / Docker-internal alternatives.

Changed

• routes/index.js now computes the displayed LDAPS URL from conf.ldap.ldapsHost/ldapsPort with fallback to the OAuth issuer host for backward compatibility.
• secrets.js.example, docs/configuration.md, docs/ldap.md, and DEPLOYMENT.md document the new ldapsHost/ldapsPort options and recommended network layouts.
• Bumped version to 1.1.17 in nodejs/package.json.

[1.1.16] - 2026-07-18

Security

• Hardened LDAP filter and DN construction against injection. All user-supplied values interpolated into group filters (models/group_ldap.js) and RDN values used when adding users/groups (models/user_ldap.js) are now escaped before being sent to the LDAP server.
• Replaced Math.random()-based token generation in models/token.js, models/oauth_code.js, and models/oauth_client.js with crypto.randomUUID() for session tokens, OAuth codes, access/refresh tokens, and client IDs.
• Replaced Math.random()-based OTP generation in OtpToken.issue() with crypto.randomInt().
• routes/oauth.js now refuses to start if oauth.jwtSecret is missing or still set to the placeholder value, instead of falling back to a hardcoded public string.
• Rendered docs and Terms-of-Service HTML in routes/docs.js and routes/index.js are now sanitized with xss to prevent stored XSS from malicious markdown.
• Removed a console.log that wrote new-user data (including password hashes) to the log in models/user_ldap.js; reduced login-path error logging to error.name/error.message only.

Changed

• Public-release packaging: removed "private": true from nodejs/package.json and bumped version to 1.1.16.
• CI workflow (.github/workflows/pr-tests.yml) now sets app_oauth__jwtSecret so the test suite can run against the new startup-time JWT validation.

Fixed

• models/email.js: fixed a template bug where the rendered from address used template.message instead of template.from.

1.1.15 - 2026-07-18

Changed

• Rewrote install.sh as an idempotent git-clone installer, replacing the old flag-driven, copy-based one — wget -O - .../install.sh | sudo bash now works the same way it does for theta42/proxy. Installs to /opt/theta42/sso-manager (was /opt/sso-manager). First run only: bootstraps OpenLDAP with a generated admin password + JWT secret and seeds /etc/sso-manager/secrets.js (was /opt/sso-manager/conf/secrets.js, hand-filled from CLI flags); later runs never touch LDAP or the secrets file again. ops/systemd/sso-manager.service sets CONF_SECRETS=/etc/sso-manager/secrets.js to match.
• install.sh now prints the version it's updating from/to (or "Already up to date") on every run.

Fixed

• install.sh could hang indefinitely on a fresh host if a base package pulled in tzdata as a new dependency (no TTY for the interactive timezone prompt), or if the debconf slapd/domain value was malformed (a raw DN fragment instead of a dotted domain) — slapd's postinst hangs rather than failing cleanly on a bad domain. Both fixed.
• ops/ldap-setup.sh's ppolicy-overlay checks used an LDAP substring filter against an attribute that doesn't support substring matching, so they always reported the overlay as unconfigured even when it was correctly set up (stored as {0}ppolicy) — the final verification step always failed as a result. Fixed to filter on (objectClass=olcOverlayConfig) instead, matching every other check in that script.

1.1.14 - 2026-07-17

Changed

• Bumped @simpleworkjs/conf to 1.2.0 and jq-repeat to 2.2.0. The Docker entrypoint now sets the new CONF_SECRETS env var to point directly at a mounted sso-secrets.js instead of symlinking it into /app/conf/secrets.js — the app no longer needs write access to its own conf/ directory to pick up mounted secrets.

1.1.13 - 2026-07-17

Fixed

• The new concept docs' cross-links (concepts-accounts.html etc.) are the correct, working URL on the Jekyll/GitHub Pages build (where the page's URL is its filename stem) but didn't resolve in the in-app docs viewer, which serves docs at a separate short slug (/docs/accounts). The in-app renderer now also resolves a doc's real filename as a fallback, so one link written in a doc works on both targets.

1.1.12 - 2026-07-17

Added

• Three new plain-language docs aimed at less technical readers, replacing the schema-level LDAP/OAuth/API docs as the target of most card help links: Accounts, Groups & Managers, Connecting Apps (SSO), and API Tokens. Each links onward to the deeper technical reference for readers who want it; the technical docs link back the other way too. The personal-access-token card (previously missed) now links to its own doc.

Fixed

• The in-app docs viewer rendered every docs/*.md page with a garbled heading and a stray horizontal rule at the top — Jekyll front matter (meant only for the GitHub Pages build) was never stripped before being handed to the markdown renderer. Also fixed: cross-doc links (ldap.html, index.html, etc.) never resolved in-app, since this viewer serves docs at /docs/<slug> with no .html suffix — they're now rewritten to the correct in-app URL, the same way image paths already were.

1.1.11 - 2026-07-17

Changed

• Moved the help (❓) link out of the global header and onto each relevant card individually (Invite User, Add new user, User List, Service Accounts, group cards, OAuth/LDAP integration cards, My groups, Members of <uid>'s group, New API Token) — each now deep-links straight to the doc that actually covers it, instead of one generic header icon.

1.1.10 - 2026-07-17

Added

• A help icon (❓) in the top-right header now deep-links to the doc most relevant to the current page (falls back to the docs index elsewhere).
• The in-app docs viewer (/docs) is now searchable — a simple line-substring search over the same local doc set, no new dependency, still works with no internet access.

1.1.9 - 2026-07-17

Added

• Every account's personal Unix group (its primary GID holder) can now have supplementary members managed from the account's profile page ("Members of <uid>'s group", admin-only) — e.g. to share write access to files owned by that group. Uses the standard memberUid attribute (RFC 2307 posixGroup).

1.1.8 - 2026-07-17

Added

• Group membership is now editable directly from a user's profile page ("My groups" -- add via a group-name picker, remove with a button per row), instead of only from each group's own card on the Groups page. Admin-only, using the existing per-group member add/remove endpoints.

Fixed

• The Edit Profile form's Mobile Phone field had a stray validate=":9" making it effectively required (submission was blocked with "Please fix the form errors" if left blank) -- it was always meant to be optional, matching the "Add user" form. Removed.
• A service account's profile always showed Name: Service Account -- every service account has the same literal filler given/last name (a schema-satisfying placeholder, not meant to be shown), making them indistinguishable by name. The Name line is now hidden for service accounts.
• The Users page's Service Accounts tab, and a freshly-created service account's own profile, could appear empty/not-a-service-account for up to 5 minutes right after creation. Creating a user caches it via User.get() before the route handler marks it as a service account (group membership), so the cached copy had isServiceAccount stuck wrong until the cache TTL expired. Now cleared and re-fetched immediately after marking.
• A user belonging to exactly one LDAP group had their memberOf attribute returned as a bare string instead of a one-element array (ldapts's normal behavior for single-valued attributes) -- client-side permission checks (for(let group of user.memberOf)) would then iterate the DN character-by-character instead of once, causing pages gated on that group (e.g. Groups) to incorrectly show "You do not have permission to be here." Normalized memberOf to always be an array, same fix already applied to manager.

1.1.7 - 2026-07-17

Changed

• Service accounts unified to one kind. Removed the LDAP bind-only service account type (the Integrations → LDAP "Service Accounts" card, and its /api/service-account routes) -- every service account is now a real Unix/POSIX account with a UID, created from the new Users → Service Accounts tab. Email and password are both optional for service accounts; a blank password means no userPassword is set at all (the account simply can't bind).
• Added a manager field to every account. Multi-valued (a list of usernames), defaults to whoever created the account (the admin who added it, or whoever sent the invite), and reassignable from the account's Edit form. Anyone listed as a manager can edit that account -- same fields an admin can (mobile, description, SSH key, date of birth, home directory, login shell, manager list) -- without needing app_sso_admin.
• homeDirectory and loginShell are now editable from the Edit Profile form (previously view-only).

1.1.6 - 2026-07-16

Changed

• Redesigned the GitHub Pages docs site to match the app's own look (dark navbar/footer, Bootstrap 5, Font Awesome) instead of the generic jekyll-theme-cayman theme, added a real cross-page nav, SEO (jekyll-seo-tag + jekyll-sitemap, per-page descriptions, OG/Twitter tags, sitemap.xml, robots.txt), and mobile-responsive layout.

1.1.5 - 2026-07-16

Fixed

• Bumped jq-repeat 2.0.1 -> 2.1.0. update() is now trailing-edge throttled (~50ms) even on the first call; profile.ejs's edit-profile flow updated a scope and immediately slid the same element into view, which could briefly show stale/empty data. Deferred the slide by 60ms.

1.1.4 - 2026-07-16

Added

• CI: GitHub Actions now builds the real bundled image, seeds LDAP fixtures, and runs the full Jest suite on every PR (Node 18/20/22) -- this repo had unit tests but nothing ran them automatically until now.
• White-label: <title>, the navbar brand text, and the favicon were hardcoded "SSO - Theta 42"/"SSO Manager" despite conf.name already existing (it was never actually rendered). New conf.logo key added alongside it. Footer attribution is left as-is. Closes #6.

Fixed

• The bundled default ppolicy entry set pwdLockout: FALSE, silently making the admin "deactivate user" action not actually block that user's login. Fixed to TRUE, with a drift-correction path in ops/ldap-setup.sh for already-deployed instances. A separate, deeper ppolicy-overlay issue remains open as #68.
• top.ejs referenced a /static/favicon.svg that didn't exist in public/ (a pre-existing 404) -- now uses the existing logo file via conf.logo.

1.1.3 - 2026-07-16

Added

• CHANGELOG.md (this file), backfilled from the release notes for every tag so far and served in-app at /docs/changelog. Closes theta-env#43.

1.1.2 - 2026-07-16

Fixed

• Removed a dead IE<9-only html5shim script tag pointing at a domain that no longer resolves.

Added

• In-app documentation: GET /docs and GET /docs/:slug render this project's own README, DEPLOYMENT, API.md, docs/{ldap,oauth,configuration}.md, and directory_spec.md server-side — readable from the running app with no dependency on GitHub Pages, which requires internet access to view. Public, no auth, rate-limited.

1.1.1 - 2026-07-16

Added

• Terms of Service is now editable at runtime by admins. tos.md used to be baked into the repo and read once at startup, requiring a code change and deploy to update. It's now a Redis-backed singleton, editable from a new "Terms of Service" card on the admin Dashboard, with the bundled tos.md used only as a one-time seed for new deployments. Admins can optionally require all users to re-accept the terms after a substantive edit. Closes #39. (#62)

1.1.0 - 2026-07-16

First tagged release. Establishes the vX.Y.Z tag convention that the in-app update-check banner polls against going forward.

Added

• Standalone backup script (ops/backup.sh) — snapshots LDAP (slapcat), Redis, and ./config, with retention.
• Admin-only in-app banner that checks GitHub releases every 24h and surfaces available updates.
• Unix/POSIX and LDAP bind-only service account support, distinct from real-person accounts.
• Merged OAuth Apps + LDAP Info into a single Integrations page.
