Error: "invalid_request" (Missing Request Parameter)

When it occurs: Authorization endpoint rejects requests without required request parameter

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://yourapp.com/callback?
  error=invalid_request&
  error_description=Request%20parameter%20is%20required&
  state=xyz789

Symptoms

Authorization request fails immediately with 400 error
User gets redirected to callback URL with error parameters
Error code: invalid_request
Error description: "Request parameter is required"
Missing request parameter when request_uri not provided

Root Cause

Oten IDP requires either request OR request_uri parameter for all authorization requests (RFC 9101). When neither parameter is provided, you get "Request parameter is required" error.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify the problem

// ❌ This approach will ALWAYS fail with Oten IDP
const authURL = `https://account.oten.com/v1/oauth/authorize?client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=${redirectURI}&response_type=code&scope=openid profile email&state=${state}`;
// Missing required 'request' parameter

Step 2: Understand JAR requirement

// Oten IDP requires either:
// Option 1: request parameter (JWT-Secured Authorization Request)
// Option 2: request_uri parameter (URL pointing to JAR)
// You CANNOT provide both or neither

// ❌ Invalid - neither request nor request_uri
const authURL = `https://account.oten.com/v1/oauth/authorize?client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=${redirectURI}`;

// ❌ Invalid - both request and request_uri
const authURL = `https://account.oten.com/v1/oauth/authorize?client_id=${clientId}&request=${jwt}&request_uri=${uri}`;

Step 3: Implement JAR with request parameter

// ✅ Correct implementation with JAR
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const crypto = require('crypto');

function createJAR(authParams, clientSecret) {
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);

  const jarPayload = {
    // JWT Claims
    iss: authParams.client_id,
    aud: 'https://account.oten.com',
    iat: now,
    exp: now + 300, // 5 minutes
    jti: crypto.randomUUID(),

    // OAuth Parameters (ALL must be in JAR)
    client_id: authParams.client_id,
    redirect_uri: authParams.redirect_uri,
    response_type: 'code',
    scope: authParams.scope,
    state: authParams.state,
    code_challenge: authParams.code_challenge,
    code_challenge_method: 'S256'
  };

  return jwt.sign(jarPayload, clientSecret, { algorithm: 'HS256' });
}

// Usage
const authParams = {
  client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
  redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
  scope: 'openid profile email',
  state: generateState(),
  code_challenge: generateCodeChallenge(),
};

const requestJWT = createJAR(authParams, process.env.CLIENT_SECRET);
const authURL = `https://account.oten.com/v1/oauth/authorize?client_id=${authParams.client_id}&request=${requestJWT}`;

Step 3: Verify implementation

Check that authorization URL only contains client_id and request parameters
Verify JAR contains all OAuth parameters in JWT payload
Test with a real authorization request

Prevention Tips

Always include request parameter - it's required for Oten IDP
Include ALL OAuth parameters in JAR payload, not URL
Set appropriate expiration (max 5 minutes)
See JAR Complete Guide for detailed implementation

Alternative for Legacy Applications

If your application cannot implement JAR due to technical constraints, contact [email protected] to discuss enabling traditional OAuth flow as a temporary solution.

Include in your request:

Application details and technical constraints
Reason why JAR cannot be implemented
Security measures you have in place

Error: "invalid_request_object"

When it occurs: JAR token has invalid format or signature

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://yourapp.com/callback?
  error=invalid_request_object&
  error_description=Invalid%20Request%20Object%3A%20JWT%20signature%20verification%20failed&
  state=xyz789

Symptoms

Authorization request fails with 400 error
User gets redirected to callback URL with error parameters
Error code: invalid_request_object
JAR token is created but rejected by Oten IDP

Root Causes

Invalid JWT signature - wrong client secret or private key
Unsupported signing algorithm - must be HS256 or EdDSA
Malformed JWT structure - invalid JWT format
Missing or incorrect Key ID (for EdDSA)
Unregistered public key (for EdDSA)

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Verify JWT structure

// Check if your JAR is valid JWT format
const jwtParts = requestJWT.split('.');
if (jwtParts.length !== 3) {
  console.error('Invalid JWT format - must have 3 parts separated by dots');
}

// Decode and inspect (without verification)
const header = JSON.parse(atob(jwtParts[0]));
const payload = JSON.parse(atob(jwtParts[1]));

console.log('JWT Header:', header);
console.log('JWT Payload:', payload);

Step 2: Fix HS256 signature issues

// ✅ Correct HS256 implementation
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

function createJAR_HS256(jarPayload, clientSecret) {
  // Ensure algorithm is exactly 'HS256'
  return jwt.sign(jarPayload, clientSecret, {
    algorithm: 'HS256',
    // Don't include keyid for HS256
  });
}

// Common mistakes to avoid:
// ❌ Wrong algorithm
// jwt.sign(payload, secret, { algorithm: 'RS256' }); // Not supported
// ❌ Wrong secret format
// jwt.sign(payload, Buffer.from(secret, 'base64')); // Use string directly

Step 3: Fix EdDSA signature issues

// ✅ Correct EdDSA implementation
const fs = require('fs');

function createJAR_EdDSA(jarPayload, privateKeyPath, keyId) {
  const privateKey = fs.readFileSync(privateKeyPath, 'utf8');

  return jwt.sign(jarPayload, privateKey, {
    algorithm: 'EdDSA',
    keyid: keyId // Required for EdDSA
  });
}

// Verify your private key format
const privateKey = fs.readFileSync('private-key.pem', 'utf8');
if (!privateKey.includes('BEGIN PRIVATE KEY')) {
  console.error('Private key must be in PEM format');
}

Step 4: Validate JAR payload (Confidential Clients Only)

// Note: JAR is only required for confidential clients
// Public clients should use PKCE with direct parameters instead

// Ensure all required claims are present
function validateJARPayload(payload) {
  const requiredClaims = ['iss', 'aud', 'iat', 'exp', 'jti'];
  const requiredOAuthParams = ['client_id', 'redirect_uri', 'response_type'];

  const missing = [...requiredClaims, ...requiredOAuthParams]
    .filter(claim => !payload[claim]);

  if (missing.length > 0) {
    throw new Error(`Missing required claims: ${missing.join(', ')}`);
  }

  // Validate timing
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  if (payload.exp <= now) {
    throw new Error('JAR token expired');
  }

  if (payload.iat > now + 60) {
    throw new Error('JAR issued in future');
  }
}

Prevention Tips

Use correct client secret from Oten registration
Only use HS256 or EdDSA algorithms
Include keyid for EdDSA but not for HS256
Validate JAR payload before signing
Test JAR creation with a JWT debugger

Error: "invalid_request" (JAR Expired)

When it occurs: JAR token has exceeded its expiration time

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://yourapp.com/callback?
  error=invalid_request&
  error_description=JAR%20token%20has%20expired&
  state=xyz789

Symptoms

Authorization request fails with 400 error
Error code: invalid_request
Error description mentions JAR expiration
JAR was created more than 5 minutes ago

Root Cause

JAR tokens have a maximum lifetime of 5 minutes for security reasons.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Check JAR expiration

// Decode JAR to check expiration
const jwtParts = requestJWT.split('.');
const payload = JSON.parse(atob(jwtParts[1]));

const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
const expiresAt = payload.exp;
const issuedAt = payload.iat;

console.log('Current time:', now);
console.log('JAR issued at:', issuedAt);
console.log('JAR expires at:', expiresAt);
console.log('JAR age (seconds):', now - issuedAt);
console.log('Time until expiry (seconds):', expiresAt - now);

if (expiresAt <= now) {
  console.error('JAR has expired');
}

Step 2: Generate fresh JAR

// ✅ Always generate JAR just before use
function createFreshJAR(authParams, clientSecret) {
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);

  const jarPayload = {
    // JWT Claims
    iss: authParams.client_id,
    aud: 'https://account.oten.com',
    iat: now,
    exp: now + 300, // 5 minutes from now
    jti: crypto.randomUUID(),

    // OAuth Parameters
    ...authParams
  };

  return jwt.sign(jarPayload, clientSecret, { algorithm: 'HS256' });
}

// Generate JAR immediately before redirect
const requestJWT = createFreshJAR(authParams, clientSecret);
const authURL = `https://account.oten.com/v1/oauth/authorize?client_id=${clientId}&request=${requestJWT}`;

// Redirect immediately
res.redirect(authURL);

Prevention Tips

Generate JAR just before use - don't pre-generate
Set expiration to 5 minutes maximum
Don't cache JAR tokens
Implement automatic retry with fresh JAR if expired

Token Endpoint Errors

Error: "invalid_grant"

When it occurs: Authorization code or refresh token is invalid

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Invalid authorization code: code not found"
}

Symptoms

Token exchange fails with 400 error
Error code: invalid_grant
Various error descriptions depending on specific issue

Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: Authorization code not found

{
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Invalid authorization code: code not found"
}

Scenario 2: Authorization code already used

{
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Invalid authorization code: code already used"
}

Scenario 3: Authorization code expired

{
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Invalid authorization code: code expired"
}

Scenario 4: PKCE verification failed

{
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Invalid code verifier"
}

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Check authorization code

// Verify you're using the code from callback
app.get('/callback', (req, res) => {
  const { code, state, error } = req.query;

  if (error) {
    return handleAuthError(error, req, res);
  }

  if (!code) {
    return res.status(400).send('Missing authorization code');
  }

  // Use code immediately - don't store it
  exchangeCodeForTokens(code, req.session.codeVerifier);
});

Step 2: Verify PKCE parameters

// Ensure code_verifier matches code_challenge
async function exchangeCodeForTokens(code, codeVerifier) {
  const tokenRequest = {
    grant_type: 'authorization_code',
    code: code,
    redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
    client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
    code_verifier: codeVerifier // Must match original code_challenge
  };

  const response = await fetch('/oauth/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: new URLSearchParams(tokenRequest)
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    const error = await response.json();
    throw new Error(`Token exchange failed: ${error.error_description}`);
  }

  return await response.json();
}

Prevention Tips

Use authorization code immediately after receiving it
Don't reuse authorization codes - they're single-use
Verify PKCE code_verifier matches original code_challenge
Check redirect_uri matches exactly
Handle token exchange errors gracefully

Error: "invalid_client"

When it occurs: Client authentication failed

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "invalid_client",
  "error_description": "Client authentication failed"
}

Symptoms

Token exchange fails with 401 error
Error code: invalid_client
Client credentials are rejected

Root Causes

Wrong client_id - doesn't match registration
Wrong client_secret - incorrect or missing
Client not found - client_id not registered
Wrong authentication method - using wrong auth method
IP address not whitelisted - for client_credentials grant
Client not confidential - public client attempting client_credentials

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Verify client credentials

// Check your environment variables
console.log('Client ID:', process.env.CLIENT_ID);
console.log('Client Secret exists:', !!process.env.CLIENT_SECRET);
console.log('Client Secret length:', process.env.CLIENT_SECRET?.length);

// Verify against Oten registration
if (!process.env.CLIENT_ID || !process.env.CLIENT_SECRET) {
  throw new Error('Missing client credentials in environment variables');
}

Step 2: Check authentication method

// ✅ Correct client authentication (client_secret_post)
const tokenRequest = {
  grant_type: 'authorization_code',
  code: authorizationCode,
  redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
  client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET // Include in body
};

// ❌ Don't use Basic authentication
// const auth = Buffer.from(`${clientId}:${clientSecret}`).toString('base64');
// headers: { 'Authorization': `Basic ${auth}` } // Not supported

Step 3: Check IP whitelist (for client_credentials grant)

// If using client_credentials grant and getting IP errors
if (grantType === 'client_credentials') {
  // Check your current IP
  const response = await fetch('https://api.ipify.org?format=json');
  const { ip } = await response.json();
  console.log('Current IP:', ip);

  // Verify IP is in Oten client whitelist
  // Contact Oten support to add IP to whitelist
}

// Example error response for IP not in whitelist:
// {
//   "error": "invalid_client",
//   "error_description": "Invalid client IP: 192.168.1.100 is not in whitelist"
// }

Step 4: Verify client type (for client_credentials grant)

// ✅ Client credentials grant requires confidential client
if (grantType === 'client_credentials') {
  // Ensure your client is registered as "confidential" not "public"
  // Public clients cannot use client_credentials grant

  const tokenRequest = {
    grant_type: 'client_credentials',
    client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID, // Must be confidential client
    client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET, // Required for confidential clients
    scope: 'read:data write:data'
  };
}

Prevention Tips

Double-check client credentials from Oten registration
Use client_secret_post authentication method
Store credentials securely in environment variables
Test with curl to verify credentials work
Check IP whitelist for client_credentials grant
Verify client type (confidential vs public)

Error: "unauthorized_client"

When it occurs: Client not authorized for the requested grant type

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "unauthorized_client",
  "error_description": "Public clients are not authorized for client credentials grant"
}

Symptoms

Token exchange fails with 403 error
Error code: unauthorized_client
Specific to client_credentials grant type

Root Cause

Public clients cannot use the client_credentials grant type - only confidential clients are authorized.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Check client type

// Verify your client registration type
console.log('Client ID:', process.env.CLIENT_ID);
console.log('Grant type:', 'client_credentials');

// Check if you have a client secret (confidential clients only)
if (!process.env.CLIENT_SECRET) {
  console.error('Missing client secret - this indicates a public client');
  console.error('Public clients cannot use client_credentials grant');
}

Step 2: Use correct grant type for client type

// ✅ For public clients - use authorization_code with PKCE
if (clientType === 'public') {
  const tokenRequest = {
    grant_type: 'authorization_code',
    code: authorizationCode,
    redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
    client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
    code_verifier: codeVerifier // PKCE required for public clients
  };
}

// ✅ For confidential clients - can use client_credentials
if (clientType === 'confidential') {
  const tokenRequest = {
    grant_type: 'client_credentials',
    client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
    scope: 'read:data'
  };
}

Step 3: Register confidential client if needed

// If you need machine-to-machine authentication:
// 1. Register a new confidential client in Oten
// 2. Get client_id and client_secret
// 3. Configure IP whitelist if required
// 4. Use client_credentials grant

const confidentialClientConfig = {
  client_id: 'your_confidential_client_id',
  client_secret: 'your_confidential_client_secret',
  client_type: 'confidential',
  grant_types: ['client_credentials'],
  ip_whitelist: ['192.168.1.100', '10.0.0.50'] // Optional
};

Prevention Tips

Use correct client type for your use case
Public clients: Use authorization_code with PKCE
Confidential clients: Can use client_credentials for M2M
Check client registration in Oten admin portal

Error: "invalid_client" (IP Not Whitelisted)

When it occurs: Client credentials grant from non-whitelisted IP address

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "invalid_client",
  "error_description": "Invalid client IP: 192.168.1.100 is not in whitelist"
}

Symptoms

Client credentials grant fails with 401 error
Error code: invalid_client
Error description mentions specific IP address
Valid client credentials but request rejected

Root Cause

Oten IDP implements IP address validation for client credentials grant when IP whitelist is configured for enhanced security.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Check your current IP address

// Check your current public IP
async function checkCurrentIP() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.ipify.org?format=json');
    const { ip } = await response.json();
    console.log('Current public IP:', ip);
    return ip;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to get IP:', error);
  }
}

// Check if IP is causing the issue
const currentIP = await checkCurrentIP();
console.log('If you see this IP in error message, it needs to be whitelisted:', currentIP);

Step 2: Verify IP whitelist configuration

// Contact Oten support to:
// 1. Check if IP whitelist is configured for your client
// 2. Add your IP address to the whitelist
// 3. Verify whitelist configuration

// Example whitelist configuration:
const clientConfig = {
  client_id: 'your_client_id',
  client_type: 'confidential',
  ip_whitelist: [
    '192.168.1.100',    // Your current IP
    '10.0.0.50',        // Server IP
    '203.0.113.0/24'    // IP range (if supported)
  ]
};

Step 3: Test from whitelisted IP

// After IP is added to whitelist, test the request
async function testClientCredentials() {
  const tokenRequest = {
    grant_type: 'client_credentials',
    client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
    scope: 'read:data'
  };

  try {
    const response = await fetch('/oauth/token', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
      body: new URLSearchParams(tokenRequest)
    });

    if (response.ok) {
      console.log('✅ IP whitelist validation passed');
      return await response.json();
    } else {
      const error = await response.json();
      console.error('❌ Still failing:', error);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Network error:', error);
  }
}

Prevention Tips

Configure IP whitelist in Oten admin portal
Use static IP addresses for production servers
Document whitelisted IPs for your team
Monitor IP changes in your infrastructure
Test from all deployment environments

Security Benefits

Prevents unauthorized access even with valid credentials
Provides additional layer of protection for machine-to-machine authentication
Enables detection of credential theft or misuse from unexpected locations
Supports compliance with network security policies

Error: "access_denied"

When it occurs: User denied authorization on consent screen

Error Response Format

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://yourapp.com/callback?
  error=access_denied&
  error_description=The%20resource%20owner%20or%20authorization%20server%20denied%20the%20request&
  state=xyz789

Symptoms

User gets redirected to callback with error
Error code: access_denied
User clicked "Deny" or "Cancel" on consent screen

Root Cause

This is normal user behavior - user chose not to grant access to your application.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Handle gracefully

app.get('/callback', (req, res) => {
  const { error, error_description, state } = req.query;

  if (error === 'access_denied') {
    // This is normal - user denied access
    return res.render('access-denied', {
      message: 'You chose not to grant access to this application.',
      action: 'You can try again if you change your mind.',
      loginUrl: '/login'
    });
  }

  // Handle other errors...
});

Step 2: Provide clear messaging

<!-- access-denied.html -->
<div class="error-message">
  <h2>Access Denied</h2>
  <p>You chose not to grant access to this application.</p>
  <p>If you change your mind, you can <a href="/login">try again</a>.</p>
</div>

Prevention Tips

Explain why you need permissions before redirecting to auth
Request minimal scopes - only what you actually need
Provide clear value proposition to users
Handle denial gracefully - don't show error messages

🌐 Network and Configuration Errors

Error: "server_error"

When it occurs: Internal server error on Oten IDP

Error Response Format

Authorization Endpoint:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://yourapp.com/callback?
  error=server_error&
  error_description=The%20authorization%20server%20encountered%20an%20unexpected%20condition&
  state=xyz789

Token Endpoint:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "server_error",
  "error_description": "The authorization server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request"
}

Symptoms

Intermittent failures
Error code: server_error
Usually temporary issues

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Implement retry logic

async function makeRequestWithRetry(requestFn, maxRetries = 3) {
  let lastError;

  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
    try {
      return await requestFn();
    } catch (error) {
      lastError = error;

      // Only retry for server errors
      if (error.message.includes('server_error') && attempt < maxRetries) {
        const delay = Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000; // Exponential backoff
        console.log(`Attempt ${attempt} failed, retrying in ${delay}ms...`);
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
        continue;
      }

      throw error;
    }
  }

  throw lastError;
}

// Usage for token exchange
const tokens = await makeRequestWithRetry(() =>
  exchangeCodeForTokens(code, codeVerifier)
);

Step 2: Check Oten status

# Check Oten service status
curl -I https://account.oten.com

# Check discovery endpoint
curl -s https://account.oten.com/.well-known/openid-configuration | jq .

Prevention Tips

Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
Monitor Oten status page
Set appropriate timeouts
Log errors for investigation
