# Testing OIDC Consent Feature
This guide explains how to test the OIDC consent feature using the development version of the OIDC app mounted into the Docker environment.
## Setup
### Volume Mount Configuration
The development OIDC app is mounted from `~/Software/oidc` into the container at `/opt/apps/oidc`:
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
volumes:
- ../Software/oidc:/opt/apps/oidc:ro
```
**Why mount outside `/var/www/html/`?**
- The Nextcloud container uses `rsync` to initialize `/var/www/html/` from the image
- Mounting inside that path causes conflicts (rsync tries to delete mounted directories)
- Mounting to `/opt/apps/oidc` avoids rsync entirely
- Nextcloud supports multiple app directories via the `apps_paths` configuration
**How multiple app paths work:**
- Nextcloud can load apps from multiple directories
- The post-installation hook registers `/opt/apps` as an additional app directory (index 2)
- Apps in default paths (index 0 and 1) are still available
- All directories are scanned for apps, but `/opt/apps` is read-only
This setup allows you to:
- Test changes without rebuilding containers
- Avoid needing npm/node in the container (JS already built on host)
- Iterate quickly on development
- Install other Nextcloud apps normally (custom_apps remains writable)
### How It Works
1. **Mount Development App**: Docker mounts `~/Software/oidc` to `/opt/apps/oidc` (outside Nextcloud's path)
2. **Register App Path**: The `10-install-oidc-app.sh` hook configures `/opt/apps` as an additional app directory
3. **Enable App**: The hook enables the OIDC app from `/opt/apps/oidc`
4. **Run Migrations**: Nextcloud detects pending migrations and runs them automatically
5. **Configure OIDC**: Dynamic client registration and PKCE are enabled
## Starting the Stack
```bash
cd ~/Projects/nextcloud-mcp-server
# Start fresh (recommended for first test)
docker compose down -v
docker compose up -d
# Wait for initialization (check logs)
docker compose logs -f app
```
The post-installation hooks will:
1. Configure custom_apps path (already done)
2. Enable OIDC app from mounted directory
3. Run database migrations (including consent table creation)
4. Configure OIDC settings
## Verifying Installation
### Before Container Restart
Before running `docker compose up -d`, the consent feature will NOT be active:
- ❌ No `oc_oidc_user_consents` table in database
- ❌ Migration 0015 not applied yet
- ❌ ConsentController class not loaded
- ❌ Consent routes not registered
You can verify this with:
```bash
# Check migrations applied (should stop at 0014)
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SELECT version FROM oc_migrations WHERE app = 'oidc' ORDER BY version DESC LIMIT 3;" nextcloud
# Check for consent table (should return empty)
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'oc_oidc_user_consents';" nextcloud
```
### After Container Restart
After `docker compose up -d` with the mounted OIDC directory, the consent feature should be active:
- ✅ `oc_oidc_user_consents` table exists
- ✅ Migration 0015 (Version0015Date20251123100100) applied
- ✅ ConsentController routes registered
- ✅ Consent screen appears during OAuth flows
### Check App Status
```bash
docker compose exec app php occ app:list | grep -A 2 oidc
```
Expected output:
```
- oidc: 1.10.0 (enabled)
```
### Verify App Paths Configuration
Verify that `/opt/apps` is registered as an additional app directory:
```bash
# Check configured app paths
docker compose exec app php occ config:system:get apps_paths
# Verify the mount is accessible
docker compose exec app ls -la /opt/apps/oidc/
# Verify custom_apps is writable (for normal app installation)
docker compose exec -u www-data app touch /var/www/html/custom_apps/.test && echo "✅ custom_apps is writable" || echo "❌ custom_apps NOT writable"
docker compose exec app rm -f /var/www/html/custom_apps/.test
```
Expected: Output should show multiple app paths including index 2 (/opt/apps).
### Verify Consent Files
```bash
# Check controller exists in mounted location
docker compose exec app ls -la /opt/apps/oidc/lib/Controller/ConsentController.php
# Check Vue component exists
docker compose exec app ls -la /opt/apps/oidc/src/Consent.vue
# Check built JS exists
docker compose exec app ls -lh /opt/apps/oidc/js/oidc-consent.js
```
### Verify Database Migration
**Note**: These checks will only pass after restarting containers with the mounted OIDC app.
```bash
# Check if consent table exists
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'oc_oidc_user_consents';"
# Check table structure
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "DESCRIBE oc_oidc_user_consents;"
# Verify migration 0015 was applied
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SELECT app, version FROM oc_migrations WHERE app = 'oidc' AND version LIKE '%0015%';"
```
Expected table structure:
- id: int(10) unsigned, auto_increment, primary key
- user_id: varchar(256), not null
- client_id: int(10) unsigned, not null
- scopes_granted: varchar(512), not null
- created_at: int(10) unsigned, not null
- updated_at: int(10) unsigned, not null
- expires_at: int(10) unsigned, nullable
### Verify Routes
```bash
docker compose exec app php occ router:list | grep consent
```
Expected output:
```
oidc.Consent.show GET apps/oidc/consent
oidc.Consent.grant POST apps/oidc/consent/grant
oidc.Consent.deny POST apps/oidc/consent/deny
```
## Testing the Consent Flow
### 1. Create an OAuth Client
The JWT client is automatically created by the post-installation hooks:
```bash
# Check if JWT client exists
docker compose exec app cat /var/www/html/.oauth-jwt/nextcloud_oauth_client.json
```
### 2. Initiate Authorization Flow
You can test using the MCP OAuth container or manually:
**Option A: Using MCP OAuth container**
```bash
# The mcp-oauth container will trigger the OAuth flow
docker compose logs -f mcp-oauth
```
**Option B: Manual browser test**
1. Get client_id from the JWT client JSON
2. Visit in browser:
```
http://localhost:8080/apps/oidc/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8001/oauth/callback&scope=openid+profile+email+mcp:notes:read+mcp:notes:write&state=test123
```
### 3. Expected Behavior
**First Authorization:**
1. User logs in (if not already authenticated)
2. **Consent screen appears** with:
- Application name: "Nextcloud MCP Server JWT"
- List of requested scopes with descriptions:
- ✓ Basic authentication (openid) - required, cannot deselect
- ✓ Profile information (profile)
- ✓ Email address (email)
- ✓ mcp:notes:read (custom scope, shown as-is)
- ✓ mcp:notes:write (custom scope, shown as-is)
- "Allow" and "Deny" buttons
3. User selects scopes and clicks "Allow"
4. Authorization proceeds with selected scopes
5. Consent is stored in database
**Subsequent Authorizations:**
- Same scopes → No consent screen (uses stored consent)
- Different scopes → Consent screen appears again
- If user clicks "Deny" → Returns `error=access_denied` to client
### 4. Verify Consent Stored
After granting consent:
```bash
# View all stored consents with formatted timestamps
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "
SELECT
user_id,
client_id,
scopes_granted,
FROM_UNIXTIME(created_at) as created,
FROM_UNIXTIME(updated_at) as updated,
FROM_UNIXTIME(expires_at) as expires
FROM oc_oidc_user_consents;
" nextcloud
# Or for a compact view:
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SELECT * FROM oc_oidc_user_consents;" nextcloud
```
## Troubleshooting
### Consent Screen Not Appearing
**Check browser console** (F12 → Console tab):
```
# Look for JS errors like:
Failed to load resource: js/oidc-consent.js
```
**Check Nextcloud logs:**
```bash
docker compose exec app tail -f /var/www/html/data/nextcloud.log | grep -i consent
```
**Verify JS file loaded:**
```bash
# Check file exists and has correct size (~73KB)
docker compose exec app ls -lh /opt/apps/oidc/js/oidc-consent.js
```
**Clear Nextcloud caches:**
```bash
docker compose exec app php occ maintenance:repair
docker compose restart app
```
### Migration Didn't Run
**Check which migrations have been applied:**
```bash
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SELECT app, version FROM oc_migrations WHERE app = 'oidc' ORDER BY version;" nextcloud
```
Expected to see `Version0015Date20251123100100` in the list.
**Manually trigger migrations:**
```bash
# Disable and re-enable app (triggers all pending migrations)
docker compose exec app php occ app:disable oidc
docker compose exec app php occ app:enable oidc
# Verify migration 0015 was applied
docker compose exec -T db mariadb -u nextcloud -ppassword nextcloud -e "SELECT version FROM oc_migrations WHERE app = 'oidc' AND version LIKE '%0015%';" nextcloud
```
### Routes Not Registered
If `router:list` doesn't show consent routes:
```bash
# The autoloader might not have picked up new classes
# Restart the container
docker compose restart app
# Wait for it to be ready
sleep 10
# Try again
docker compose exec app php occ router:list | grep consent
```
If still not working, check if ConsentController is accessible:
```bash
docker compose exec app php -r "
require_once '/var/www/html/lib/base.php';
\$class = 'OCA\\OIDCIdentityProvider\\Controller\\ConsentController';
if (class_exists(\$class)) {
echo \"Class exists\n\";
} else {
echo \"Class not found\n\";
}
"
```
## Making Changes
### Frontend Changes (Vue.js)
1. Edit source file on host:
```bash
cd ~/Software/oidc
# Edit src/Consent.vue
```
2. Rebuild JS:
```bash
npm run build
```
3. Refresh browser (container sees changes immediately via volume mount at /opt/apps/oidc)
### Backend Changes (PHP)
1. Edit files on host:
```bash
cd ~/Software/oidc
# Edit lib/Controller/ConsentController.php or other PHP files
```
2. Changes are immediately visible (PHP is interpreted, no build step)
3. For new classes or major changes, restart container:
```bash
docker compose restart app
```
### Database Schema Changes
If you modify the migration:
```bash
# Changes won't be picked up if migration already ran
# Need to recreate the database:
docker compose down -v # Removes volumes
docker compose up -d # Fresh start with clean DB
```
## Cleanup
### Reset Everything
```bash
cd ~/Projects/nextcloud-mcp-server
docker compose down -v
```
This removes:
- All containers
- Database volume (all data)
- OAuth client credentials
### Keep Data, Restart App
```bash
docker compose restart app
```
This preserves:
- Database (consents, clients, users)
- OAuth client credentials
## Development Workflow Summary
1. **Make changes** in `~/Software/oidc`
2. **Build JS** if you changed Vue files: `npm run build`
3. **Test immediately** - refresh browser or restart container
4. **No need** to rebuild Docker images or reinstall app
5. **Iterate quickly** with instant feedback
## Production Deployment
When ready to deploy:
1. **Create patch file** (already done):
```bash
cd ~/Software/oidc
git format-patch master --stdout > user-consent-feature.patch
```
2. **Test patch** in clean environment:
```bash
# In a production-like environment
cd /path/to/production/oidc
git apply user-consent-feature.patch
npm install
npm run build
php occ app:disable oidc
php occ app:enable oidc
```
3. **Verify migration** runs automatically on app enable
4. **Submit pull request** to upstream repository
