## Summary
Adds a unified `admin` CLI for self-hosted instance administrators in
both the management and combined binaries.
## User Management
### `admin user change-password`
- Changes a local embedded IdP user's password.
- Selects the user with `--email` or `--user-id`.
- Reads the new password from `--password` or `--password-file`.
- Clears the user's local authentication session so the new password is
required on the next login.
- **Alias:** `admin user set-password`.
### `admin user reset-mfa`
- Resets a local embedded IdP user's MFA enrollment.
- Selects the user with `--email` or `--user-id`.
- Clears TOTP/WebAuthn enrollment data and removes the local
authentication session.
- The user will re-enroll MFA on the next login.
## MFA Management
### `admin mfa status`
- Shows whether local MFA is enabled in the account settings.
- Checks the embedded IdP client configuration and reports whether MFA
is enabled there.
### `admin mfa enable`
- Enables local MFA for embedded IdP users.
- Updates embedded IdP clients and saves the account MFA setting.
- Records an audit event on a best-effort basis.
### `admin mfa disable`
- Disables local MFA for embedded IdP users.
- Updates embedded IdP clients and saves the account MFA setting.
- Records an audit event on a best-effort basis.
## Reverse Proxy Tokens
### `admin token create --name <name> [--expires-in <duration>]`
- Creates a reverse proxy access token.
- Prints the plaintext token once, along with the token ID.
- `--expires-in` supports values such as `24h`, `30d`, or `365d`. If
omitted, the token never expires.
### `admin token list`
- Lists reverse proxy access tokens.
- Shows the token ID, name, creation date, expiration, last-used time,
and revocation status.
- **Alias:** `admin token ls`.
### `admin token revoke <token-id>`
- Revokes a reverse proxy access token.
- Revoked tokens can no longer authenticate reverse proxy instances.
## Reverse Proxy Management
### `admin proxy disconnect-all`
- Lists registered reverse proxy instances and force-marks all connected
instances as disconnected.
- Useful for repairing stale proxy state after an unclean management
server shutdown.
- Prompts for confirmation by default.
- `--dry-run` previews the changes without applying them.
- `--force` skips the confirmation prompt.
- Live proxies may appear again after their next heartbeat, reconnect,
or re-registration.
## Compatibility Commands
### `token ...`
- Deprecated top-level compatibility path.
- Behaves the same as `admin token ...`.
- Retained so existing scripts using `token create`, `token list`, or
`token revoke` continue to work.
## Changes
- Adds reusable `management/cmd/admin` command package.
- Wires `admin` into `netbird-mgmt` and `combined`.
- Adds local user password reset with existing password strength
validation.
- Adds local MFA enrollment reset by clearing Dex TOTP/WebAuthn
credentials and local auth sessions.
- Adds local MFA enable/disable/status helpers for embedded IdP
deployments.
- Moves proxy access token commands under `admin token` for a single
admin-focused CLI entry point.
- Exports `server.ValidatePassword` for reuse by CLI helpers.
## Tests
```bash
go test ./management/cmd/...
go test ./management/cmd/admin ./management/cmd ./combined/cmd
go test ./management/server -run TestValidatePassword
```
Pre-push lint also passed.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
## Release Notes
* **New Features**
* Added self-hosted admin CLI commands for changing passwords, resetting
MFA (including WebAuthn), and managing embedded IdP client MFA
(enable/disable/status).
* Introduced a unified admin command entry point and improved
data-directory handling for embedded IdP storage.
* **Refactor**
* Centralized password strength validation into a shared exported
validator.
* **Tests**
* Added a comprehensive admin command test suite covering password
input, selectors, MFA reset, and client MFA state handling.

When JWT group sync is enabled with a restrictive JWTAllowGroups list, the local owner of an embedded-IdP (Dex) deployment can get locked out. The allow-groups check runs account-wide but local password users do not receive
external IdP group claims, so they can't satisfy the allowed list.
This skips JWT group evaluation for local Dex users so the restriction and JWT group sync continue to apply to external-IdP users as intended.
Set ContinueOnConnectorFailure: true in the embedded Dex config so that the Management server starts successfully even when an external IdP connector is unreachable at boot time.
Add LocalAuthDisabled option to embedded IdP configuration
This adds the ability to disable local (email/password) authentication when using the embedded Dex identity provider. When disabled, users can only authenticate via external
identity providers (Google, OIDC, etc.).
This simplifies user login when there is only one external IdP configured. The login page will redirect directly to the IdP login page.
Key changes:
Added LocalAuthDisabled field to EmbeddedIdPConfig
Added methods to check and toggle local auth: IsLocalAuthEnabled, HasNonLocalConnectors, DisableLocalAuth, EnableLocalAuth
Validation prevents disabling local auth if no external connectors are configured
Existing local users are preserved when disabled and can login again when re-enabled
Operations are idempotent (disabling already disabled is a no-op)
* Enforce HttpConfig overwrite when embeddedIdp is enabled
* Disable offline_access scope in dashboard by default
* Add group propagation foundation to embedded idp
* Require groups scope in dex config for okt and pocket
* remove offline_access from device default scopes
Embed Dex as a built-in IdP to simplify self-hosting setup.
Adds an embedded OIDC Identity Provider (Dex) with local user management and optional external IdP connectors (Google/GitHub/OIDC/SAML), plus device-auth flow for CLI login. Introduces instance onboarding/setup endpoints (including owner creation), field-level encryption for sensitive user data, a streamlined self-hosting provisioning script, and expanded APIs + test coverage for IdP management.
