matrix-oauth

An OAuth 2.0 server for Matrix accounts.

Demo: https://demo.oauth.t2host.io/ (powered by matrix-oauth-demo)

Support room: #oauth:t2bot.io

This is currently in early development and does not support the Authorization header. It does however support confidential clients (exclusively) through the config. Only authorization code grants are supported (4.1 of RFC 6749).

All sessions are kept in memory (for now), so restarting the service will interrupt anyone's auth attempts and any claims to tokens. In future when the service supports more granular scopes a database will be required.

Running

The best deployment option is Docker:

# Create the directory for mounting to the container
mkdir -p /etc/matrix-oauth/config

# Create/edit the configuration file with your favourite editor. Use
# the default.yaml config file in this repo as a template.
vi /etc/matrix-oauth/config/production.yaml

# Run the container
docker run -v /etc/matrix-oauth:/data -p 8080:8080 turt2live/matrix-oauth

Note that you'll need to set up your own reverse proxy for handling SSL. The Docker command above might not be perfect for your environment, but it covers the part where it has a port to expose and a volume to mount.

Important URLs:

  • Authorization URL: /oauth/authorize
  • Token URL: /oauth/token
  • Paths to send to the container: /public, /matrix, /oauth

Tokens

The token response encrypts the user's access token to reduce the chances of third party systems getting access to user accounts. The token response always contains matrix_user_id and matrix_homeserver_url as parameters if the client chooses to use those instead.

For scopes that return an access token of the user (unrestricted access to the account), the Bearer token returned by the OAuth flow is encrypted using aes-256-cbc, prefixed with v1.. If the scope doesn't yield an access token for the user, the Bearer token will be an opaque string.

The Bearer token returned by the OAuth flow is encrypted using aes-256-cbc, prefixed with a version number (v1 for now) plus . as a separator, and follows with the hex-encoded 16-byte IV, 64-byte salt for the key, and encrypted message. The encrypted message is a JSON payload containing the homeserverUrl, userId, and accessToken strings.

The key for the AES function uses PBKDF2 with the password being the concatenation of the client ID and client secret (separated by |), the salt coming from the hex-encoded string, iterations being 100000, and the hash function being sha512.

The crypto code roughly looks like:

const message = JSON.stringify({
    homeserverUrl: "https://example.org",
    userId: "@alice:example.org",
    accessToken: "OP4QU3T0K3N",
});

const key = "test|s3cret"; // client_id|client_secret
const salt = crypto.randomBytes(64);
const cryptKey = crypto.pbkdf2Sync(key, salt, 100000, 32, 'sha512');

const iv = crypto.randomBytes(16);
const cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-cbc', cryptKey, iv);
let encrypted = cipher.update(message);
encrypted = Buffer.concat([encrypted, cipher.final()]);

const result = 'v1.' + Buffer.concat([iv, salt, encrypted]).toString('hex');
console.log(result);

Which could result in the following (linebreaks for readability):

If you're using NodeJS, your decryption logic could be something like:

const bearerToken = "v1.3a586264e14f8b3e0af62e70c726a293b703901a5c7776af64cdf0fa06ab0a1f682db210cc193b39788af18844b711bd916357c73439a6f9ba" +
    "45977fc4414416d1b24e8f65ac85029238a9a1f41572064b0e19a84f999eb0615959a108cad007f8f83838b9be7b9260a0cba63bc8d33c0ef7ba1" +
    "eb415721769f3b841ac1b31de59da114797d86c3ecaf786a476d7d6fb1b9433f4e4b60a5395273ab819d93ea93edfd0182c2d68d0454e892ae458" +
    "e9d0a516aeebacef92afdc281e1bd6c198ae";
const clientId = "test";
const clientSecret = "s3cret";

const buf = Buffer.from(bearerToken.substring("v1.".length), 'hex');
const iv = buf.slice(0, 16);
const salt = buf.slice(16, 80); // 64 bytes
const encrypted = buf.slice(80);

const cryptKey = crypto.pbkdf2Sync(`${clientId}|${clientSecret}`, salt, 100000, 32, 'sha512');
const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-cbc', cryptKey, iv);
const result = decipher.update(encrypted) + decipher.final('utf-8');
console.log(JSON.parse(result));
