Nick Khyl 11fd9341bc ipn/ipnauth, safesocket: defer named pipe client's token retrieval until ipnserver needs it
An error returned by net.Listener.Accept() causes the owning http.Server to shut down.
With the deprecation of net.Error.Temporary(), there's no way for the http.Server to test
whether the returned error is temporary / retryable or not (see golang/go#66252).

Because of that, errors returned by (*safesocket.winIOPipeListener).Accept() cause the LocalAPI
server (aka ipnserver.Server) to shut down, and tailscaled process to exit.

While this might be acceptable in the case of non-recoverable errors, such as programmer errors,
we shouldn't shut down the entire tailscaled process for client- or connection-specific errors,
such as when we couldn't obtain the client's access token because the client attempts to connect
at the Anonymous impersonation level. Instead, the LocalAPI server should gracefully handle
these errors by denying access and returning a 401 Unauthorized to the client.

In tailscale/tscert#15, we fixed a known bug where Caddy and other apps using tscert would attempt
to connect at the Anonymous impersonation level and fail. However, we should also fix this on the tailscaled
side to prevent a potential DoS, where a local app could deliberately open the Tailscale LocalAPI named pipe
at the Anonymous impersonation level and cause tailscaled to exit.

In this PR, we defer token retrieval until (*WindowsClientConn).Token() is called and propagate the returned token
or error via ipnauth.GetConnIdentity() to ipnserver, which handles it the same way as other ipnauth-related errors.

Fixes #18212
Fixes tailscale/tscert#13

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.25. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
