# Which Problems Are Solved
The login v1 allowed to use JWTs as IdP using the JWT IDP. The login V2
uses idp intents for such cases, which were not yet able to handle JWT
IdPs.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added handling of JWT IdPs in `StartIdPIntent` and `RetrieveIdPIntent`
- The redirect returned by the start, uses the existing `authRequestID`
and `userAgentID` parameter names for compatibility reasons.
- Added `/idps/jwt` endpoint to handle the proxied (callback) endpoint ,
which extracts and validates the JWT against the configured endpoint.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Currently if a user signs in using an IdP, once they sign out of
Zitadel, the corresponding IdP session is not terminated. This can be
the desired behavior. In some cases, e.g. when using a shared computer
it results in a potential security risk, since a follower user might be
able to sign in as the previous using the still open IdP session.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Admins can enabled a federated logout option on SAML IdPs through the
Admin and Management APIs.
- During the termination of a login V1 session using OIDC end_session
endpoint, Zitadel will check if an IdP was used to authenticate that
session.
- In case there was a SAML IdP used with Federated Logout enabled, it
will intercept the logout process, store the information into the shared
cache and redirect to the federated logout endpoint in the V1 login.
- The V1 login federated logout endpoint checks every request on an
existing cache entry. On success it will create a SAML logout request
for the used IdP and either redirect or POST to the configured SLO
endpoint. The cache entry is updated with a `redirected` state.
- A SLO endpoint is added to the `/idp` handlers, which will handle the
SAML logout responses. At the moment it will check again for an existing
federated logout entry (with state `redirected`) in the cache. On
success, the user is redirected to the initially provided
`post_logout_redirect_uri` from the end_session request.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Some OAuth2 and OIDC providers require the use of PKCE for all their
clients. While ZITADEL already recommended the same for its clients, it
did not yet support the option on the IdP configuration.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- A new boolean `use_pkce` is added to the add/update generic OAuth/OIDC
endpoints.
- A new checkbox is added to the generic OAuth and OIDC provider
templates.
- The `rp.WithPKCE` option is added to the provider if the use of PKCE
has been set.
- The `rp.WithCodeChallenge` and `rp.WithCodeVerifier` options are added
to the OIDC/Auth BeginAuth and CodeExchange function.
- Store verifier or any other persistent argument in the intent or auth
request.
- Create corresponding session object before creating the intent, to be
able to store the information.
- (refactored session structs to use a constructor for unified creation
and better overview of actual usage)
Here's a screenshot showing the URI including the PKCE params:

# Which Problems Are Solved
Some SAML IdPs including Google only allow to configure a single
AssertionConsumerService URL.
Since the current metadata provides multiple and the hosted login UI is
not published as neither the first nor with `isDefault=true`, those IdPs
take another and then return an error on sign in.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Allow to reorder the ACS URLs using a query parameter
(`internalUI=true`) when retrieving the metadata endpoint.
This will list the `ui/login/login/externalidp/saml/acs` first and also
set the `isDefault=true`.

# Which Problems Are Solved
IDPLinks list and other list endpoints can provide you with empty
results if the used user has no permission for the information.
# How the Problems Are Solved
List endpoints with subelements to users, and provided userIDQuery, will
return a PermissionDenied error if no permission for the user exsists.
# Additional Changes
Function to check for permission is re-used from the GetUserByID.

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL currently selects the instance context based on a HTTP header
(see https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8279#issue-2399959845 and
checks it against the list of instance domains. Let's call it instance
or API domain.
For any context based URL (e.g. OAuth, OIDC, SAML endpoints, links in
emails, ...) the requested domain (instance domain) will be used. Let's
call it the public domain.
In cases of proxied setups, all exposed domains (public domains) require
the domain to be managed as instance domain.
This can either be done using the "ExternalDomain" in the runtime config
or via system API, which requires a validation through CustomerPortal on
zitadel.cloud.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Two new headers / header list are added:
- `InstanceHostHeaders`: an ordered list (first sent wins), which will
be used to match the instance.
(For backward compatibility: the `HTTP1HostHeader`, `HTTP2HostHeader`
and `forwarded`, `x-forwarded-for`, `x-forwarded-host` are checked
afterwards as well)
- `PublicHostHeaders`: an ordered list (first sent wins), which will be
used as public host / domain. This will be checked against a list of
trusted domains on the instance.
- The middleware intercepts all requests to the API and passes a
`DomainCtx` object with the hosts and protocol into the context
(previously only a computed `origin` was passed)
- HTTP / GRPC server do not longer try to match the headers to instances
themself, but use the passed `http.DomainContext` in their interceptors.
- The `RequestedHost` and `RequestedDomain` from authz.Instance are
removed in favor of the `http.DomainContext`
- When authenticating to or signing out from Console UI, the current
`http.DomainContext(ctx).Origin` (already checked by instance
interceptor for validity) is used to compute and dynamically add a
`redirect_uri` and `post_logout_redirect_uri`.
- Gateway passes all configured host headers (previously only did
`x-zitadel-*`)
- Admin API allows to manage trusted domain

# Which Problems Are Solved
#8295 introduced the possibility to handle idps on a single callback,
but broke current setups.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Revert the change until a proper solution is found. Revert is needed
as docs were also changed.
# Additional Changes

# Additional Context
- relates to #8295
# Which Problems Are Solved
Both the login UI and the IdP intent flow have their own IdP callback
endpoints.
This makes configuration hard to impossible (e.g. Github only allows one
endpoint) for customers.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- The login UI prefixes the `state` parameter when creating an auth /
SAML request.
- All requests now use the `/idp/callback` or the corresponding
variation (e.g. SAML)
- On callback, the state, resp. its prefix is checked. In case of the
login UI prefix, the request will be forwarded to the existing login UI
handler without the prefix state.
Existing setups will therefore not be affected and also requests started
before this release can be handled without any impact.
- Console only lists the "new" endpoint(s). Any
`/login/externalidp/callback` is removed.
# Additional Changes
- Cleaned up some images from the IdP documentation.
- fix the error handling in `handleExternalNotFoundOptionCheck`
# Additional Context
- closes#8236
# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL currently always uses
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent` in SAML requests,
relying on the IdP to respect that flag and always return a peristent
nameid in order to be able to map the external user with an existing
user (idp link) in ZITADEL.
In case the IdP however returns a
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient` (transient)
nameid, the attribute will differ between each request and it will not
be possible to match existing users.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds the following two options on SAML IdP:
- **nameIDFormat**: allows to set the nameid-format used in the SAML
Request
- **transientMappingAttributeName**: allows to set an attribute name,
which will be used instead of the nameid itself in case the returned
nameid-format is transient
# Additional Changes
To reduce impact on current installations, the `idp_templates6_saml`
table is altered with the two added columns by a setup job. New
installations will automatically get the table with the two columns
directly.
All idp unit tests are updated to use `expectEventstore` instead of the
deprecated `eventstoreExpect`.
