* [agent-network] Shared proto, OpenAPI schema, and generated types
* [agent-network] Management: store, manager, synthesizer, policy engine, provider catalog, HTTP/gRPC API
Adds the account-scoped agent-network module: provider/policy/budget CRUD and
store, the reverse-proxy service synthesizer, policy selection + limit
enforcement, the provider catalog (incl. Vertex AI and AWS Bedrock entries),
and the management HTTP + proxy gRPC surfaces.
* [management] Fix agent-network proxy-peer fan-out on affected-peer recompute
The affected-peers resolver loaded only persisted reverse-proxy services, but
agent-network services are synthesized on demand and never persisted. As a
result the embedded proxy peer was never folded into the affected set when a
client's group changed, so the proxy received no network-map update for a newly
authorised client and rejected its handshake until a full resync (restart).
loadProxyServices now merges the synthesized agent-network services (injected
via a registration hook to avoid an import cycle), so proxy peers learn newly
authorised clients immediately.
* [proxy] Reverse-proxy middleware framework, chain, and request plumbing
The per-target middleware chain (slots, dispatcher, mutation gate, metadata
merger), body capture, access-log terminal sink, and the proxy wiring that
builds + runs chains for synthesized agent-network services.
* [proxy] LLM parsers, pricing, and builtin middlewares (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock)
Request/response parsers and SSE/event-stream metering, the embedded pricing
table, and the builtin middleware set: request parser, router, policy
limit-check/record, cost meter, guardrail, identity inject, response parser.
Includes the path-routed providers — Google Vertex AI (keyfile:: service-account
OAuth minting) and AWS Bedrock (bearer auth, invoke/converse/streaming, optional
/bedrock prefix) — plus the Models allowlist and unmeterable-publisher deny.
* [proxy] IPv6 in-place apply and TCP accept-loop hardening on netstack listeners
* [agent-network] End-to-end test suite, module docs, and deployment preset
* [agent-network] Fix codespell typos and exclude false positives
- labelgen word pool: vermillion -> vermilion, racoon -> raccoon.
- codespell ignore list: add flate (Go compress/flate package), recordin
(a test-local identifier), and unparseable (a valid alternative spelling used
consistently across identifiers + a metadata-value constant).
* [management] Set LastSeen on injected proxy peer in realstack test (MySQL strict-mode)
The injected embedded proxy peer had a PeerStatus with a zero LastSeen, which
serializes to '0000-00-00' and is rejected by MySQL in strict mode (SQLite
tolerates it). Set LastSeen to a valid time so SaveAccount succeeds on both
engines.
* [agent-network] Remove e2e shell-script suite from this branch
The end-to-end shell scripts under scripts/e2e/ are maintained in a separate
testing suite and are not part of this change set.
* [agent-network] Polish module docs: remove internal review scaffolding, fix links, verify diagrams
Strip PR-review framing, commit references, absolute paths, and stale internal
references from the agent-network module docs; fix broken relative links; verify
all diagrams against the current architecture. Remove the internal AI-reviewer
prompt file.
* [management] Refine session expiration handling to support 3-state encoding for SSO deadlines
* [agent-network] Relocate agentnetwork package to internals/modules
Move management/server/agentnetwork (and its catalog/, labelgen/, types/
subpackages) to management/internals/modules/agentnetwork, alongside the
reverse-proxy module, and rewrite all importers. Pure relocation: package names,
the synthesizer + affectedpeers registration hook, and store access (shared
store.Store) are unchanged, so no import cycle is introduced (affectedpeers
still depends only on the agentnetwork/types leaf).
* [agent-network] Co-locate HTTP handlers in the module (RegisterEndpoints)
Move the agent-network HTTP handlers from server/http/handlers/agentnetwork into
the module at internals/modules/agentnetwork/handlers (package handlers) and
rename the entrypoint AddEndpoints -> RegisterEndpoints, matching the
reverse-proxy module convention. Wiring in http/handler.go updated accordingly.
* add SSO session extend flow (management)
Adds the management-server half of the SSO session-extension feature:
- New ExtendAuthSession gRPC RPC that refreshes a peer's session expiry
using a fresh JWT, validated through the same pipeline as Login but
without tearing down the tunnel or redoing the NetworkMap sync.
- Per-peer SessionExpiresAt timestamp on every LoginResponse and
SyncResponse so connected clients learn the deadline on the existing
long-lived stream, and admin-side changes (toggling expiration,
changing the expiration window) reach every peer within seconds.
- SessionExpiresAt(...) helper on Peer that derives the absolute UTC
deadline from LastLogin + the account-level PeerLoginExpiration
setting, returning zero when the peer is not SSO-tracked or expiration
is disabled.
The matching client-side consumer of these fields lands separately.
* encode SessionExpiresAt as 3-state on the wire
Previously the `sessionExpiresAt` field on LoginResponse, SyncResponse
and ExtendAuthSessionResponse was 2-state: a valid timestamp meant
"new deadline", and nil meant "clear". That conflated two distinct
meanings — "no info in this snapshot" vs "expiry is explicitly off /
peer is not SSO-tracked" — so a Sync push that legitimately couldn't
compute the deadline (settings lookup failed) would silently clear the
client's anchor and lose the warning window.
Three states now, encoded on the same field number (no .proto schema
churn — only comments and the server-side encoder change):
- nil pointer (field absent) → "no info"; client preserves anchor
- &Timestamp{} (seconds=0, nanos=0) → explicit "disabled / not SSO"
sentinel; client clears
- valid timestamp → new absolute UTC deadline
A new encodeSessionExpiresAt helper centralises the zero/non-zero
encoding and is shared by the Sync, Login and ExtendAuthSession
builders. The Sync builder still emits nil when settings are missing.
Login and ExtendAuthSession always carry an authoritative value.
The matching client-side decoder lands on feature/session-extend.
* add UserExtendedPeerSession activity event
ExtendAuthSession previously reused UserLoggedInPeer for its audit
record, which conflated two distinct user actions: a full interactive
SSO login (tunnel re-established, network map resync) versus an
in-place deadline refresh (tunnel untouched). Auditors reading the log
couldn't tell which one happened, and downstream dashboards/alerts on
"login" volume were polluted by routine extends.
Adds a dedicated UserExtendedPeerSession Activity (code 125,
"user.peer.session.extend") and switches ExtendPeerSession over to it.
The peer-extend audit trail is now distinguishable from interactive
logins.
* make ExtendAuthSession JWT-retry backoff cancellable
Skip the retry log and 200ms wait on the final attempt, and replace the
uncancellable time.Sleep with a select on time.After/ctx.Done so an
upstream cancellation aborts the wait instead of running it to
completion.
Auto-update logic moved out of the UI into a dedicated updatemanager.Manager service that runs in the connection layer. The
UI no longer polls or checks for updates independently.
The update manager supports three modes driven by the management server's auto-update policy:
No policy set by mgm: checks GitHub for the latest version and notifies the user (previous behavior, now centralized)
mgm enforces update: the "About" menu triggers installation directly instead of just downloading the file — user still initiates the action
mgm forces update: installation proceeds automatically without user interaction
updateManager lifecycle is now owned by daemon, giving the daemon server direct control via a new TriggerUpdate RPC
Introduces EngineServices struct to group external service dependencies passed to NewEngine, reducing its argument count from 11 to 4
CLI: new expose command to publish a local port with flags for PIN, password, user groups, custom domain, name prefix and protocol (HTTP default).
Management/API: create/renew/stop expose sessions (streamed status), automatic naming/domain, TTL renewals, background expiration, new management RPCs and client methods.
UI/API: account settings now include peer_expose_enabled and peer_expose_groups; new activity codes for peer expose events.
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.

This PR adds user approval functionality to the management system, allowing administrators to manually approve new users joining via domain matching. When enabled, users are blocked with pending approval status until explicitly approved by an admin.
Adds UserApprovalRequired setting to control manual user approval requirement
Introduces user approval and rejection endpoints with corresponding business logic
Prevents pending approval users from adding peers or logging in
adds NetFlow functionality to track and log network traffic information between peers, with features including:
- Flow logging for TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic
- Integration with connection tracking system
- Resource ID tracking in NetFlow events
- DNS and exit node collection configuration
- Flow API and Redis cache in management
- Memory-based flow storage implementation
- Kernel conntrack counters and userspace counters
- TCP state machine improvements for more accurate tracking
- Migration from net.IP to netip.Addr in the userspace firewall
Implemented inactivity expiration by checking the status of a peer: after a configurable period of time following netbird down, the peer shows login required.
This PR implements the following posture checks:
* Agent minimum version allowed
* OS minimum version allowed
* Geo-location based on connection IP
For the geo-based location, we rely on GeoLite2 databases which are free IP geolocation databases. MaxMind was tested and we provide a script that easily allows to download of all necessary files, see infrastructure_files/download-geolite2.sh.
The OpenAPI spec should extensively cover the life cycle of current version posture checks.
This PR adds support to Owner roles.
The owner role has a similar access level as the admin, but it has the power to delete the account.
Besides that, the role has the following constraints:
- The role can only be transferred. So, only a user with the owner role can transfer the owner role to a new user
- It can't be assigned to users being invited
- It can't be assigned to service users
New activity types for integration creation, update, and deletion have been added to the activity codes. This ensures the tracking of these user activities relating to integrations, which were not previously being logged.
Implement user deletion across all IDP-ss. Expires all user peers
when the user is deleted. Users are permanently removed from a local
store, but in IDP, we remove Netbird attributes for the user
untilUserDeleteFromIDPEnabled setting is not enabled.
To test, an admin user should remove any additional users.
Until the UI incorporates this feature, use a curl DELETE request
targeting the /users/<USER_ID> management endpoint. Note that this
request only removes user attributes and doesn't trigger a delete
from the IDP.
To enable user removal from the IdP, set UserDeleteFromIDPEnabled
to true in account settings. Until we have a UI for this, make this
change directly in the store file.
Store the deleted email addresses in encrypted in activity store.
For better auditing this PR adds a dashboard login event to the management service.
For that the user object was extended with a field for last login that is not actively saved to the database but kept in memory until next write. The information about the last login can be extracted from the JWT claims nb_last_login. This timestamp will be stored and compared on each API request. If the value changes we generate an event to inform about a login.
* Check links of groups before delete it
* Add delete group handler test
* Rename dns error msg
* Add delete group test
* Remove rule check
The policy cover this scenario
* Fix test
* Check disabled management grps
* Change error message
* Add new activity for group delete event
The new functionality allows blocking a user in the Management service.
Blocked users lose access to the Dashboard, aren't able to modify the network map,
and all of their connected devices disconnect and are set to the "login expired" state.
Technically all above was achieved with the updated PUT /api/users endpoint,
that was extended with the is_blocked field.
Extend HTTP API with Account endpoints to configure global peer login expiration.
GET /api/accounts
PUT /api/account/{id}/
The GET endpoint returns an array of accounts with
always one account in the list. No exceptions.
The PUT endpoint updates account settings:
PeerLoginExpiration and PeerLoginExpirationEnabled.
PeerLoginExpiration is a duration in seconds after which peers' logins will expire.
This PR adds system activity tracking.
The management service records events like
add/remove peer, group, rule, route, etc.
The activity events are stored in the SQLite event store
and can be queried by the HTTP API.
