docs: resync documentation with the ferriskey and cli repositories - #13
Conversation
ferris-ctl gained `realm role` (create/list/get/delete, realm- or client-scoped) and `user set-password`, `assign-role`, `remove-role` and `roles`. None of them were documented, so the reference silently described a smaller CLI than the one shipped, and `user create` still told readers to set passwords from the admin console. Also correct the import reference against ferriskey-cli-core: - the config blueprint accepts web origins, post-logout redirect URIs, the device authorization grant, PKCE and per-client token lifetimes; - a user role entry may be prefixed with a client id to pick a client role rather than a realm one; - permissions are snake_case (`manage_realm`). `Permissions::from_names` filters unknown names out silently, so `realm:manage` produced a role granting nothing. The example in the docs used exactly that form. - the Keycloak importer also reads each client's roles, which the "what gets imported" list omitted.
…urce Several statements no longer matched the ferriskey repository: - the project was described as MIT-licensed; LICENSE is Apache-2.0; - the TLS variables were `TLS_CERT_PATH` / `TLS_KEY_PATH`, which do not exist. The real names are `SERVER_TLS_CERT` / `SERVER_TLS_KEY`, and `SERVER_PUBLIC_URL`, `ACTIVE_OBSERVABILITY`, `OTLP_ENDPOINT`, `METRICS_ENDPOINT` and the `gen-api` subcommand were missing entirely; - the `libs/` listing predated the split into feature and api crates, and the domain module list was missing saml, organization, compass, password policy, portal theming and email; - the contributing guide told readers to clone ferriskey/ferriskey to work on the docs, which live in ferriskey/website; - realm settings were missing lockout, login aliases, require_mfa, passkeys, email verification, SeaWatch PII mode and template ids; - protocol mapper types were invented names; the real ones keep the Keycloak spelling (`oidc-usermodel-property-mapper` and friends); - token claims listed `realm_roles`/`permissions`, where the payload actually carries `azp`, `typ`, `sid` and `realm_access.roles`; - required actions were PascalCase and missing `configure_passkey`. Adds the standalone image, which serves the API and the console behind one nginx on port 8090 and runs its own migrations at startup. Prose is rewritten throughout: sentence-case headings (slugs are unchanged, so anchors still resolve), no em dashes, and the usual AI-writing tells removed.
The Helm page documented a values file the chart does not have. Checked against charts/ferriskey and charts/ferriskey-operator: - `publicHost`, `ingress`, `gatewayAPI.httpRoute` and the bundled PostgreSQL (enabled by default, and unfit for production) were absent; - admin configuration was shown under `common.env`, where the chart exposes `api.admin.username` / `api.admin.passwordSecret`; - the port-forward targeted 5555 on a service that listens on 80; - `api.server.rootPath` defaults to `/api`, which the ingress routes on and the probes depend on; - ArgoCD needs sync waves because it does not run Helm hooks. The operator was installed with a release asset that does not exist; it ships as its own chart at oci://ghcr.io/ferriskey/charts/ferriskey-operator, with `crds.install` / `crds.keep` and `rbac.create` to hand ownership to GitOps. Documents the `fkcl` short name and the print columns. The production guide dropped its hand-written Ingress, which routed everything to the API on 3333 and ignored the console, in favour of the chart values that actually produce a working split.
Aligns the Learn section with the rest of the docs. Heading slugs are unchanged, so existing anchors keep resolving.
…nces Two shipped modules had no documentation at all: - SAML. FerrisKey is a SAML 2.0 identity provider: it serves the SSO endpoints and a descriptor per realm, resolves a service provider by its issuer, and signs assertions whose entity id is derived from SERVER_PUBLIC_URL. Abyss still listed SAML as planned without saying that only the inbound direction is; the callout now separates the two. - Organization groups. Groups form a tree, membership is recursive and roles are inherited from every ancestor. The members page still claimed membership was flat and org-scoped roles were roadmap, which stopped being true when member-role and group endpoints landed. Reference tables had drifted from the enums: - SeaWatch has 24 event types, not 16. Sessions, maintenance, email delivery, `client_secret_viewed`, `user_email_verified` and identity provider unlinking were missing, along with the `unknown` read-path fallback and the realm-level PII mode. - Webhooks have 38 triggers, not 26. Device flow, maintenance, SAML config, web origins and `user.email_verified` were absent, while `auth.login` and `client.secret_rotated` were listed as triggers when they are SeaWatch event types. - Compass records nine step types, not seven: the two SAML steps are new.
Same pass as the docs, applied to the marketing site, the blog and the
shared layouts: no em dashes left in source, negative parallelisms
("it's not just X, it's Y") rewritten as plain clauses, and page titles
switched from an em dash separator to a pipe.
Two module descriptions were also wrong and are corrected here rather
than left for a separate pass:
- the webhooks card advertised `auth.login` and `client.secret_rotated`
as subscribable triggers; both are SeaWatch event types;
- Compass was described as having seven step types, now nine;
- Aegis claimed an `introspect` scope among the seeded ones, which is
not in m0001_seed_default_client_scopes. The seeded set is openid,
profile, email, roles, offline_access, phone and address.
Both blog locales are kept in step.

In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/discover/default/en/getting-started.mdx`:
- Line 59: Update the server Docker Compose example’s api environment block to
require operator-provided ADMIN_USERNAME, ADMIN_PASSWORD, and ADMIN_EMAIL
values, replacing any documented default credentials while leaving the

In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/kubernetes/default/en/production-guide.mdx`:
- Line 19: Update the TLS guidance in the production guide to use the documented
operator configuration key spec.database.sslMode rather than implying an
unsupported Helm chart sslMode setting. Recommend verify-full with a trusted CA
for production, and describe require only as a minimum fallback without server
identity verification.
In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/modules/default/en/aegis/overview.mdx`:
- Line 10: Update the Aegis overview wording around client scopes and protocol
mappers to qualify the scope-to-claim relationship: configured claims are
eligible for inclusion only when the scope is applicable or requested, and
mapper token-target settings determine whether they appear in access or ID
tokens. Avoid stating that granting a scope guarantees every claim appears in
every token.
In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/modules/default/en/organization/groups.mdx`:
- Line 89: Update the organization groups permissions documentation to state
that group reads use the QueryGroups permission, including listing and
searching, instead of the ViewUsers rule. Remove the claim that there are no
group-specific permissions while preserving the existing ManageRealm and
ManageUsers write permissions.
In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/modules/default/en/saml/overview.mdx`:
- Around line 59-61: Update the SAML configuration table entries for
sign_assertions and sign_documents: either document their actual default values
and behavior when false, or remove both entries if they are not supported
configuration fields. Keep want_authn_requests_signed unchanged.
In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/modules/default/en/trident/overview.mdx`:
- Line 16: Update the TOTP documentation to use the canonical `configure_otp`
action and `require_mfa` realm scope, and state that enforcement applies to
every user without a TOTP credential, including existing users at their next
login.
- Line 10: Update the Trident overview description to avoid implying it always
follows password authentication or that all methods combine. Describe methods by
role: TOTP and WebAuthn satisfy MFA challenges, magic links and WebAuthn support
passwordless login, and recovery codes provide one-time fallback access.

RFC 9700 resource owner password credentials grant MUST NOT be used official
💡 Result:
RFC 9700, which serves as the Best Current Practice for OAuth 2.0 Security, officially states that the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) grant MUST NOT be used [1][2]. The specification provides several technical reasons for this prohibition: Insecure Exposure: The grant type requires the resource owner to share their credentials directly with the client, which is inherently insecure [1][3]. Increased Attack Surface: Because credentials must be handled by the client, they can be leaked in more locations beyond the authorization server [1][2]. Training Users Poorly: Utilizing this grant encourages users to provide their sensitive credentials to third-party clients rather than exclusively to the trusted authorization server [1][4]. Technical Limitations: The ROPC grant is not designed to support modern authentication requirements, such as two-factor authentication or multi-step user interaction workflows [1][3]. Furthermore, it often cannot support cryptographic authentication mechanisms like WebAuthn or WebCrypto, which are typically bound to a specific web origin [1][2]. This guidance marks a significant security hardening of the OAuth 2.0 framework, moving away from the earlier, less restrictive definitions found in RFC 6749 [5].

Stop recommending the resource owner password credentials grant.
RFC 9700 states that this grant must not be used. Remove its positive guidance from all three passages and direct new integrations to the OpenID Connect authorization code flow.
If FerrisKey retains the grant for legacy compatibility, label it as deprecated and do not recommend it for new clients.

PostgreSQL official documentation libpq sslmode require verify-full server identity authentication
💡 Result:
In PostgreSQL, libpq uses the sslmode parameter to control the SSL connection behavior, specifically concerning encryption and server identity verification [1][2]. 1. require: This mode ensures that the connection is encrypted [2]. While it requires an SSL connection, it does not provide protection against Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks because it does not verify the server's identity by default [2]. Note that for historical reasons, if a root CA file is present, libpq may implicitly behave like verify-ca, but relying on this is discouraged [2][3]. 2. verify-full: This is the most secure mode and is recommended for security-sensitive environments [2][4]. It provides encryption, validates the server's certificate chain against a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), and performs hostname verification [2][3]. Specifically, libpq checks that the server's certificate is issued by a trusted CA and that the certificate's identity (found in the Subject Alternative Name or Common Name) matches the host name you specified for the connection [2][4][5]. In summary, while require only guarantees encryption, verify-full guarantees both encryption and the identity of the server, effectively preventing MITM attacks [2][3]. Additionally, it is important not to confuse the client-side sslmode with server-side authentication settings in pg_hba.conf [6]. The client uses sslmode to verify the server, whereas server-side settings like clientcert=verify-full are used by the server to authenticate the client's certificate identity [6][7].

Security Misconfiguration (CWE-295): Improper Certificate Validation
Exploitability: Difficult
Correct the database TLS guidance.
The Helm chart does not document an sslMode value. sslMode is documented for the operator as spec.database.sslMode. Either add and wire a chart setting, or show the operator configuration. Recommend verify-full with a trusted CA for production because require does not verify the server identity.

Qualify the scope-to-claim guarantee.
Assigning a scope does not guarantee that every mapper claim appears in every token. Optional scopes require a request, and add_to_access_token or add_to_id_token controls the target token. Describe the scope as making configured claims eligible for the applicable token.
This matches the token-type and optional-scope rules documented in apps/docs/src/content/docs/modules/default/en/aegis/protocol-mappers.mdx.

FerrisKey SAML sign_assertions sign_documents default
💡 Result:
Based on available documentation, FerrisKey is an identity management system that currently lists SAML support as a planned feature [1]. Because SAML support is not yet fully implemented or documented for FerrisKey, there are no specific defaults for "sign_assertions" or "sign_documents" within the FerrisKey platform [1]. The parameters sign_assertions and sign_documents are standard configuration settings in other SAML-based identity providers, most notably Keycloak [2][3]. In the context of Keycloak (and its associated Terraform providers), the defaults are [2][3]: - sign_documents: Defaults to true [2][3]. - sign_assertions: Defaults to false [2][3]. Users often explicitly configure these settings to align with the requirements of their specific Service Provider (SP), for example by setting sign_documents to false and sign_assertions to true [2][4][5]. If you are researching this for a migration or integration, ensure you are referencing the documentation for your specific identity provider, as these defaults are not applicable to FerrisKey at this time [1].

💡 Result:
The terms sign_assertions and sign_documents are not standard, universally defined cryptographic primitives [1][2]. Instead, they appear to be functional or contextual descriptions related to the FerrisKey identity platform and similar digital identity or document management systems [1][3][4]. In the context of identity management platforms like FerrisKey, these terms generally refer to distinct operational processes: 1. Sign Assertions: This typically refers to the creation of cryptographically signed statements about an entity (such as a user or a device) [1]. In identity systems, this often involves signing claims, such as those found in JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) or Verifiable Credentials (VCs) [1][5]. For example, when an Identity Provider (IdP) issues an identity assertion, it signs the data to guarantee authenticity and integrity [1]. 2. Sign Documents: This refers to the process of applying a digital signature to a static or structured document (such as a PDF or contract) to prove its origin and that it has not been altered [1][4]. While an "assertion" is often ephemeral or context-specific (like a login session or identity claim), "document signing" is typically used for long-term records or legal agreements [1][4]. These processes rely on underlying cryptographic techniques, such as RS256, ES256, or EdDSA, to perform the signing operation using a private key [1][6]. In modular systems like FerrisKey, these functions are often managed by specific services (e.g., identity wallets or security modules) that handle the lifecycle of keys and the application of signatures to different payloads [1][2]. If you encounter these terms in a specific API or library, they likely represent internal method names or high-level abstractions designed to simplify the signing process for different types of data [4][7].

State that TOTP and WebAuthn satisfy MFA challenges, magic links and WebAuthn support passwordless login, and recovery codes provide one-time fallback access.

"require_mfa" "configure_otp" Trident
💡 Result:
The terms "require_mfa" and "configure_otp" are associated with the Trident multi-factor authentication module within the FerrisKey ecosystem [1][2]. In the context of the FerrisKey Trident module: 1. ConfigureOtp (Required Action): To enforce MFA enrollment, you can set ConfigureOtp as a "required action" for users in the realm [1]. When this is active, users are prompted to configure TOTP credentials upon their first login before they are granted full access [1][2]. 2. Enforcement: This mechanism makes MFA registration mandatory [1]. The system validates if a user has MFA credentials; if configured, it issues a temporary token during the challenge phase, and only after successful verification of the second factor (TOTP, WebAuthn, etc.) are full access, refresh, and ID tokens issued [1][2]. It is important to note that the terms "require_mfa" and "configure_otp" appear in various other software development contexts. For example, they are used as configuration parameters in unrelated projects like Nauthilus [3][4] or TREK [5] to enforce per-client or global MFA registration policies. Please ensure you are referencing the correct documentation for your specific software environment.

Use the canonical MFA action and scope.
The authentication contract names the action configure_otp, but totp.mdx uses ConfigureOtp. The realm contract applies require_mfa to every user without a TOTP credential, including existing users at their next login, not only new users. Align the TOTP page with this contract to prevent incorrect configuration and enforcement expectations.

Why
The docs had drifted from the two source repositories they describe
(
ferriskey/ferriskeyand itscli/workspace). Some pages documentedflags that do not exist, counted enum variants that have since grown, or
described modules as roadmap after they shipped. A reader following them
would have written a values file the Helm chart rejects, set TLS
environment variables the binary ignores, and created roles granting
nothing.
This branch reads both repositories and brings every page back in line,
then applies one prose pass over the whole site.
No issue: this started as a review of the published docs rather than a
reported bug, so there is nothing to close.
