# Which Problems Are Solved
The current maintained gRPC server in combination with a REST (grpc)
gateway is getting harder and harder to maintain. Additionally, there
have been and still are issues with supporting / displaying `oneOf`s
correctly.
We therefore decided to exchange the server implementation to
connectRPC, which apart from supporting connect as protocol, also also
"standard" gRCP clients as well as HTTP/1.1 / rest like clients, e.g.
curl directly call the server without any additional gateway.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- All v2 services are moved to connectRPC implementation. (v1 services
are still served as pure grpc servers)
- All gRPC server interceptors were migrated / copied to a corresponding
connectRPC interceptor.
- API.ListGrpcServices and API. ListGrpcMethods were changed to include
the connect services and endpoints.
- gRPC server reflection was changed to a `StaticReflector` using the
`ListGrpcServices` list.
- The `grpc.Server` interfaces was split into different combinations to
be able to handle the different cases (grpc server and prefixed gateway,
connect server with grpc gateway, connect server only, ...)
- Docs of services serving connectRPC only with no additional gateway
(instance, webkey, project, app, org v2 beta) are changed to expose that
- since the plugin is not yet available on buf, we download it using
`postinstall` hook of the docs
# Additional Changes
- WebKey service is added as v2 service (in addition to the current
v2beta)

# Which Problems Are Solved
Through configuration on projects, there can be additional permission
checks enabled through an OIDC or SAML flow, which were not included in
the OIDC and SAML services.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Add permission check through the query-side of Zitadel in a singular SQL
query, when an OIDC or SAML flow should be linked to a SSO session. That
way it is eventual consistent, but will not impact the performance on
the eventstore. The permission check is defined in the API, which
provides the necessary function to the command side.
# Additional Changes
Added integration tests for the permission check on OIDC and SAML
service for every combination.
Corrected session list integration test, to content checks without
ordering.
Corrected get auth and saml request integration tests, to check for
timestamp of creation, not start of test.

# 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
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- part of #8279
- open topics:
- "single-instance" mode
- Console UI
# Which Problems Are Solved
The v2beta services are stable but not GA.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The v2beta services are copied to v2. The corresponding v1 and v2beta
services are deprecated.
# Additional Context
Closes#7236
