* docs: add ADFS with Web Application Proxy self-hosted guide
New guide for integrating on-prem Active Directory with ADFS as an OIDC
identity provider for self-hosted NetBird. Covers ADFS on a dedicated
member server, Web Application Proxy in a DMZ, Duo ADFS MFA Adapter,
claim transform rules, and the required NetBird configuration
(NETBIRD_TOKEN_SOURCE=idToken, NETBIRD_AUTH_USER_ID_CLAIM=upn).
* docs: rewrite ADFS guide for Community Edition Dashboard flow
Switch from standalone/setup.env style to the CE-native Dashboard-based
external IdP flow:
- Use a confidential Server Application (Add-AdfsServerApplication with
generated client secret) instead of a Native Application with PKCE.
- Redirect URI now comes from NetBird's Settings > Identity Providers
flow, not hard-coded /peers paths.
- Drop the NETBIRD_TOKEN_SOURCE and NETBIRD_AUTH_USER_ID_CLAIM env vars
(those are standalone/commercial-license settings).
- Fix the base64 sub claim issue upstream in ADFS via a new claim rule
(Rule 5) that emits sub from UPN, with a fallback note about
PairwiseIdentifierEnabled for ADFS builds that need it.
- Update Troubleshooting and Configuration Summary to match.
* docs: expand ADFS Step 1 and Step 5 with deeper setup prose
Pull in the richer explanations from the updated source guide:
- Step 1 gets server-provisioning prerequisites, Get-WindowsFeature
verification after role install, expanded TLS cert rationale with
Test-Certificate, a three-option service-account discussion with the
Get-KdsRootKey check and lab-mode EffectiveTime trick, a full
troubleshooting block for Install-ADServiceAccount, per-parameter
explanations for Install-AdfsFarm, and a Start-Service + event-log
fallback plus detailed OIDC-endpoint troubleshooting in 1.5.
- Step 5 gets a full Provision the WAP Server section covering server
specs, the domain-join decision (with SCADA framing generalized),
pre-install firewall rules, hosts-file name resolution with Test-
NetConnection, and exact Export-PfxCertificate/Import-PfxCertificate
flow for the WAP cert. Step 5.3 is reframed as Establish the Proxy
Trust with what-it-does and what-you-need callouts; 5.4 expands
Get-WebApplicationProxyHealth troubleshooting.
CE-specific rewrites (Server Application flow, Dashboard IdP config,
Rule 5 sub override, Duo-optional framing) are preserved.
* docs: fix ADFS intra-page anchor links
@sindresorhus/slugify (the project's heading slug generator) splits
CamelCase words (NetBird -> net-bird) and inserts hyphens between
period-separated digits (2.3 -> 2-3). Update every in-page anchor to
match the generated slugs so step links resolve correctly.
Also redirect the UPN row in the AD attributes table to Step 3, since
the 'Required NetBird Configuration Settings' subsection it used to
reference was removed in the CE rewrite.
* docs: note that ADFS group-membership claim rules are optional
Rules 3a and 3b in Step 3 produce the 'groups' claim consumed by
JWT Group Sync. Add a Note explaining they can be skipped if group
sync isn't needed, and clarify that 3a and 3b must be kept together
(3a emits into a temp claim, 3b filters and renames it to 'groups').
* docs: expand ADFS Step 3 intro with context and per-rule overview
The prior one-sentence intro ('NetBird requires specific claims in the
OIDC tokens') didn't explain what issuance transform rules are or what
each of the six rules does. Add a paragraph on why ADFS needs them and
a short bullet list describing each rule's purpose and dependencies
(e.g., Rule 5 depends on Rule 4). The optional-rules Note and code
block follow unchanged.
* docs: fix ADFS guide inaccuracies flagged in review
- Replace Get-EventLog with Get-WinEvent in Step 1.5 — Get-EventLog
only reads classic logs and cannot open 'AD FS/Admin', which lives
under Applications and Services Logs.
- Remove references to Set-AdfsServerApplication -PairwiseIdentifierEnabled
$false; that parameter does not exist on the cmdlet. Replace the
fallback guidance with NETBIRD_AUTH_USER_ID_CLAIM="upn" in setup.env,
which was the actual POC fix alongside the Rule 5 claim override.
- Restructure the 404 troubleshooting entry as a two-step fix
(claim rule + NetBird env var) with a decode-token sanity check.
- Drop the 'Domain Users' example from the JWT group sync paragraph
since Rule 3b's default '^NetBird-' filter would exclude it;
clarify that visible groups are governed by the filter regex.
- Relabel the LDAP/LDAPS firewall row as 'directory and attribute
lookups (claim data)' rather than 'authentication'; ADFS
authenticates users via Kerberos and uses LDAP for attribute lookup.
- Add a clarifying Note to Step 2.5 explaining that the guide reuses
the client_id as the Web API identifier for simplicity, and larger
environments may prefer a distinct resource URI.
* docs: rewrite ADFS guide to focus on NetBird-specific configuration
* docs: nest ADFS/DC and WAP/NetBird in topology as separate boxes
* docs: refer to NetBird's Microsoft AD FS connector instead of Generic OIDC
* docs: rework ADFS topology diagram and convert callouts to Note components
* docs: rename Restricted/OT to Restricted Network in ADFS guide
* docs: drop Generic OIDC link from ADFS related resources
* docs: drop single-group limitation from ADFS guide
The Azure AD Graph app manifest format was deprecated in January 2025.
The attribute accessTokenAcceptedVersion has been renamed to
requestedAccessTokenVersion in the Microsoft Graph manifest format.

* Fix reverse proxy docs: add ProxyService gRPC route, fix container commands, support both setups
- add missing /management.ProxyService/ gRPC route to all reverse proxy config templates (traefik, nginx, caddy, NPM) in reverse-proxy.mdx
- change default proxy -> management connection to use direct docker network instead of routing through traefik, avoiding hairpin NAT and missing gRPC route issues
- add "Connecting through Traefik" section for separatevhost deployments
- fix token CLI commands: use /go/bin/ prefix (not on container PATH), add --config flag for combined container
- ratify instructions for enabling reverse proxy both combined (netbird-server) and multi-container (management) setups
* remove unecessary proxy endpoints from reverse proxy templates other than traefik in reverse-proxy.mdx
* - standardize usage of 'docker exec' as opposed to 'docker compose exec + service name' in instructions
- added AuthClientID config instructions
- added traefik grpc rule to configuration file explanation page
- idletimeout for reverse proxy migration is now 0, matching getting-started.sh
* add clarification on grpc ProxyService path for traffic - only required if the proxy service is on a different docker network to traefik
* fix: correct step count in Traefik connection section from two to three

Adds a comprehensive reference page for all environment variables used
when self-hosting NetBird, covering Management Server, Signal Server,
Relay Server, Dashboard, and Coturn services. Focuses on the new
embedded identity provider approach, removing deprecated external IDP
configuration variables.
