# Access OAuth Authentication

Authenticate to Cloudflare Access-protected resources using standard OAuth 2.0
(resource metadata discovery, dynamic client registration, authorization code with PKCE).

## When to Use

Use this skill when:

- You need to access a URL that returns HTTP 401
- The response contains a `www-authenticate: Bearer` header with a `resource_metadata` URL
- The resource metadata indicates it is a Cloudflare Access-protected resource
- You want to authenticate interactively through the user's IdP

## Step 1: Detect a Protected Resource

Make a request and inspect the response headers:

```bash
curl -sI -L <URL> 2>&1
```

Look for a **401** response with a `www-authenticate` header like:

```
www-authenticate: Bearer realm="OAuth", error="invalid_token",
  error_description="Missing or invalid access token",
  resource_metadata="https://<hostname>/.well-known/cloudflare-access-protected-resource/"
```

If you see this header, the site supports the OAuth flow. Proceed to Step 2.

The JSON body of the 401 will also contain:

```json
{
	"error": "invalid_token",
	"error_description": "Missing or invalid access token",
	"resource_metadata": "https://<hostname>/.well-known/cloudflare-access-protected-resource/"
}
```

### If No `www-authenticate` Header

If the 401 does not include `www-authenticate` with `resource_metadata`, the site may
not support this OAuth flow. Fall back to `cloudflared access curl` or browser-based
authentication.

## Step 2: Fetch Resource Metadata

Fetch the resource metadata URL from the `www-authenticate` header:

```bash
curl -s https://<hostname>/.well-known/cloudflare-access-protected-resource/
```

Expected response:

```json
{
	"resource": "https://<hostname>",
	"protected": true,
	"team_domain": "<team>.cloudflareaccess.com",
	"authorization_servers": ["https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com"],
	"authentication_method": "cloudflared",
	"authentication_method_description": "Use `cloudflared access curl`...",
	"authentication_method_documentation": "https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/tutorials/cli/"
}
```

Extract the **authorization server** URL from `authorization_servers[0]` (e.g. `https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com`).

## Step 3: Fetch OAuth Authorization Server Metadata

```bash
curl -s https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
```

Expected response:

```json
{
	"issuer": "<team>.cloudflareaccess.com",
	"authorization_endpoint": "https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/oauth/authorization",
	"token_endpoint": "https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/oauth/token",
	"response_types_supported": ["code"],
	"response_modes_supported": ["query"],
	"grant_types_supported": ["authorization_code", "refresh_token"],
	"token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported": [
		"client_secret_basic",
		"client_secret_post",
		"none"
	],
	"revocation_endpoint": "https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/oauth/revoke",
	"registration_endpoint": "https://<team>.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/oauth/registration",
	"code_challenge_methods_supported": ["S256"]
}
```

Verify that:

- `"none"` is in `token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported` (allows public clients)
- `"authorization_code"` is in `grant_types_supported`
- `"S256"` is in `code_challenge_methods_supported`
- A `registration_endpoint` is present

Extract the **registration_endpoint**, **authorization_endpoint**, and **token_endpoint**.

## Step 4: Dynamic Client Registration

Register a public OAuth client:

```bash
curl -s -X POST <registration_endpoint> \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8400/callback"],
    "token_endpoint_auth_method": "none",
    "grant_types": ["authorization_code"],
    "response_types": ["code"],
    "resource": "https://<hostname>"
  }'
```

Expected response:

```json
{
	"client_id": "<uuid>",
	"redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8400/callback"],
	"grant_types": ["authorization_code"],
	"response_types": ["code"],
	"token_endpoint_auth_method": "none",
	"registration_client_uri": "...",
	"client_id_issued_at": 1234567890
}
```

Save the **client_id**.

## Step 5: Generate PKCE Challenge

Generate a code verifier and S256 challenge. Ensure the challenge starts with an
alphanumeric character to avoid URL parsing issues:

```bash
while true; do
  CODE_VERIFIER=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '=' | tr '/+' '_-')
  CODE_CHALLENGE=$(printf '%s' "$CODE_VERIFIER" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '=' | tr '/+' '_-')
  if [[ "$CODE_CHALLENGE" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9] ]]; then
    break
  fi
done
```

**Important**: The code challenge MUST start with `[a-zA-Z0-9]`. A leading `-` or `_`
can cause URL parameter parsing failures on the authorization server.

## Step 6: Authorization Code Flow with Local Callback

Start a local HTTP server to catch the callback, then direct the user to the
authorization URL.

### Build the Authorization URL

```
<authorization_endpoint>?
  client_id=<client_id>&
  redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8400%2Fcallback&
  response_type=code&
  code_challenge=<CODE_CHALLENGE>&
  code_challenge_method=S256&
  resource=<URL-encoded target resource>
```

### Start the Callback Listener and Prompt the User

Run a Python HTTP server on port 8400 that captures the authorization code:

```python
python3 -c '
import http.server, urllib.parse

class Handler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        parsed = urllib.parse.urlparse(self.path)
        params = urllib.parse.parse_qs(parsed.query)
        if "code" in params:
            code = params["code"][0]
            with open("/tmp/oauth_code.txt", "w") as f:
                f.write(code)
            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header("Content-Type", "text/html")
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(b"<h1>Got it!</h1><p>Authorization code received. You can close this tab.</p>")
            print(f"CODE={code}", flush=True)
        elif "error" in params:
            err = params.get("error", [""])[0]
            desc = params.get("error_description", [""])[0]
            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header("Content-Type", "text/html")
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(f"<h1>Error</h1><p>{err}: {desc}</p>".encode())
            print(f"ERROR: {err} - {desc}", flush=True)
        else:
            self.send_response(400)
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(b"Unexpected request")
            print(f"Unexpected: {self.path}", flush=True)
        import threading
        threading.Thread(target=self.server.shutdown).start()
    def log_message(self, format, *args):
        pass

print("Listening on http://localhost:8400 ...", flush=True)
print("Open the authorization URL in your browser.", flush=True)
http.server.HTTPServer(("", 8400), Handler).serve_forever()
'
```

**Important**: Use a timeout of at least 120000ms for this bash command since the user
needs time to authenticate in the browser.

Tell the user to open the authorization URL in their browser. After they authenticate
with their IdP, the browser will redirect to `http://localhost:8400/callback?code=<code>`,
the server will capture it and shut down.

## Step 7: Exchange Code for Token

```bash
curl -s -X POST <token_endpoint> \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
  -d "code=<AUTH_CODE>" \
  -d "client_id=<CLIENT_ID>" \
  -d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:8400/callback" \
  -d "code_verifier=<CODE_VERIFIER>"
```

Expected response:

```json
{
	"access_token": "oauth:<token>",
	"token_type": "bearer",
	"expires_in": 900,
	"scope": "",
	"resource": "https://<hostname>/",
	"refresh_token": "oauth:<refresh_token>"
}
```

Save the **access_token** and **refresh_token**.

## Step 8: Access the Protected Resource

```bash
curl -s https://<hostname>/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"
```

This should now return the actual content behind Cloudflare Access.

## Step 9: Refresh the Token (if needed)

If the access token expires (default 900 seconds), use the refresh token:

```bash
curl -s -X POST <token_endpoint> \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=refresh_token" \
  -d "refresh_token=<REFRESH_TOKEN>" \
  -d "client_id=<CLIENT_ID>"
```

## Quick Reference: Full Flow Summary

```
1. curl -sI <URL>                          # Detect 401 + www-authenticate header
2. curl -s <resource_metadata_url>         # Get authorization server
3. curl -s <as>/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server  # Get endpoints
4. POST <registration_endpoint>            # Register public client
5. Generate PKCE code_verifier + challenge # S256, alphanumeric start
6. Start localhost:8400 listener           # Catch callback
7. User opens authorization URL            # Browser-based IdP auth
8. POST <token_endpoint>                   # Exchange code for token
9. curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" # Access resource
```
