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.
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)
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.
