Following from my original RFC submission [0], this submission is considered ready for full review. This patch series is now based on top of current master (9c32cfb49c60fa8173b9666db02efe3b45a8522f) that includes my now separately submitted patches [1] to fix up the other credential helpers' behaviour.

In this patch series I update the existing credential helper design in order to allow for some new scenarios, and future evolution of auth methods that Git hosts may wish to provide. I outline the background, summary of changes and some challenges below.

Testing these new additions, I introduce a new test helper test-http-server that acts as a frontend to git-http-backend; a mini HTTP server based heavily on git-daemon, with simple authentication configurable by command line args.

Background ==========

Git uses a variety of protocols [2]: local, Smart HTTP, Dumb HTTP, SSH, and Git. Here I focus on the Smart HTTP protocol, and attempt to enhance the authentication capabilities of this protocol to address limitations (see below).

The Smart HTTP protocol in Git supports a few different types of HTTP authentication - Basic and Digest (RFC 2617) [3], and Negotiate (RFC 2478) [4]. Git uses a extensible model where credential helpers can provide credentials for protocols [5]. Several helpers support alternatives such as OAuth authentication (RFC 6749) [6], but this is typically done as an extension. For example, a helper might use basic auth and set the password to an OAuth Bearer access token. Git uses standard input and output to communicate with credential helpers.

After a HTTP 401 response, Git would call a credential helper with the following over standard input:

protocol=https host=example.com

And then a credential helper would return over standard output:

protocol=https host=example.com username=bob@id.example.com password=<BEARER-TOKEN>

Git then the following request to the remote, including the standard HTTP Authorization header (RFC 7235 Section 4.2) [7]:

GET /info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Host: git.example
Git-Protocol: version=2
Authorization: Basic base64(bob@id.example.com:<BEARER-TOKEN>)

Credential helpers are encouraged (see gitcredentials.txt) to return the minimum information necessary.

Limitations ===========

Because this credential model was built mostly for password based authentication systems, it's somewhat limited. In particular:

 1. To generate valid credentials, additional information about the request
    (or indeed the requestee and their device) may be required. For example,
    OAuth is based around scopes. A scope, like "git.read", might be
    required to read data from the remote. However, the remote cannot tell
    the credential helper what scope is required for this request.
 2. This system is not fully extensible. Each time a new type of
    authentication (like OAuth Bearer) is invented, Git needs updates before
    credential helpers can take advantage of it (or leverage a new
    capability in libcurl).

Goals =====

 * As a user with multiple federated cloud identities:
   
   * Reach out to a remote and have my credential helper automatically
     prompt me for the correct identity.
   * Allow credential helpers to differentiate between different authorities
     or authentication/authorization challenge types, even from the same DNS
     hostname (and without needing to use credential.useHttpPath).
   * Leverage existing authentication systems built-in to many operating
     systems and devices to boost security and reduce reliance on passwords.
 * As a Git host and/or cloud identity provider:
   
   * Leverage newest identity standards, enhancements, and threat
     mitigations - all without updating Git.
   * Enforce security policies (like requiring two-factor authentication)
     dynamically.
   * Allow integration with third party standard based identity providers in
     enterprises allowing customers to have a single plane of control for
     critical identities with access to source code.

Design Principles =================

 * Use the existing infrastructure. Git credential helpers are an
   already-working model.
 * Follow widely-adopted time-proven open standards, avoid net new ideas in
   the authentication space.
 * Minimize knowledge of authentication in Git; maintain modularity and
   extensibility.

Proposed Changes ================

 1. Teach Git to read HTTP response headers, specifically the standard
    WWW-Authenticate (RFC 7235 Section 4.1) headers.
 2. Teach Git to include extra information about HTTP responses that require
    authentication when calling credential helpers. Specifically the
    WWW-Authenticate header information.
    
    Because the extra information forms an ordered list, and the existing
    credential helper I/O format only provides for simple key=value pairs,
    we introduce a new convention for transmitting an ordered list of
    values. Key names that are suffixed with a C-style array syntax should
    have values considered to form an order list, i.e. key[]=value, where
    the order of the key=value pairs in the stream specifies the order.
    
    For the WWW-Authenticate header values we opt to use the key wwwauth[].
 3. Teach Git to specify authentication schemes other than Basic in
    subsequent HTTP requests based on credential helper responses.

Handling the WWW-Authenticate header in detail ==============================================

RFC 6750 [8] envisions that OAuth Bearer resource servers would give responses that include WWW-Authenticate headers, for example:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="login.example", scope="git.readwrite"
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="login.example"

Specifically, a WWW-Authenticate header consists of a scheme and arbitrary attributes, depending on the scheme. This pattern enables generic OAuth or OpenID Connect [9] authorities. Note that it is possible to have several WWW-Authenticate challenges in a response.

First Git attempts to make a request, unauthenticated, which fails with a 401 response and includes WWW-Authenticate header(s).

Next, Git invokes a credential helper which may prompt the user. If the user approves, a credential helper can generate a token (or any auth challenge response) to be used for that request.

For example: with a remote that supports bearer tokens from an OpenID Connect [9] authority, a credential helper can use OpenID Connect's Discovery [10] and Dynamic Client Registration [11] to register a client and make a request with the correct permissions to access the remote. In this manner, a user can be dynamically sent to the right federated identity provider for a remote without any up-front configuration or manual processes.

Following from the principle of keeping authentication knowledge in Git to a minimum, we modify Git to add all WWW-Authenticate values to the credential helper call.

Git sends over standard input:

protocol=https host=example.com wwwauth[]=Bearer realm="login.example", scope="git.readwrite" wwwauth[]=Basic realm="login.example"

A credential helper that understands the extra wwwauth[n] property can decide on the "best" or correct authentication scheme, generate credentials for the request, and interact with the user.

The credential helper would then return over standard output:

protocol=https host=example.com path=foo.git username=bob@identity.example password=<BEARER-TOKEN>

Note that WWW-Authenticate supports multiple challenges, either in one header:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="login.example", scope="git.readwrite", Basic realm="login.example"
or in multiple headers:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="login.example", scope="git.readwrite"
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="login.example"

These have equivalent meaning (RFC 2616 Section 4.2 [12]). To simplify the implementation, Git will not merge or split up any of these WWW-Authenticate headers, and instead pass each header line as one credential helper property. The credential helper is responsible for splitting, merging, and otherwise parsing these header values.

An alternative option to sending the header fields individually would be to merge the header values in to one key=value property, for example:

... wwwauth=Bearer realm="login.example", scope="git.readwrite", Basic realm="login.example"

Future flexibility ==================

By allowing the credential helpers decide the best authentication scheme, we can allow the remote Git server to both offer new schemes (or remove old ones) that enlightened credential helpers could take immediate advantage of, and to use credentials that are much more tightly scoped and bound to the specific request.

For example imagine a new "FooBar" authentication scheme that is surfaced in the following response:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: FooBar realm="login.example", algs="ES256 PS256"

With support for arbitrary authentication schemes, Git would call credential helpers with the following over standard input:

protocol=https host=example.com wwwauth[]=FooBar realm="login.example", algs="ES256 PS256", nonce="abc123"

And then an enlightened credential helper would return over standard output:

protocol=https host=example.com authtype=FooBar username=bob@id.example.com password=<FooBar credential>

Git would be expected to attach this authorization header to the next request:

GET /info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Host: git.example
Git-Protocol: version=2
Authorization: FooBar <FooBar credential>

Should Git not control the set of authentication schemes? =========================================================

One concern that the reader may have regarding these changes is in allowing helpers to select the authentication mechanism to use, it may be possible that a weaker form of authentication is used.

Take for example a Git remote server that responds with the following authentication schemes:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate ...
WWW-Authenticate: Basic ...

Today Git (and libcurl) prefer to Negotiate over Basic authentication [13]. If a helper responded with authtype=basic Git would now be using a "less secure" mechanism.

The reason we still propose the credential helper decide on the authentication scheme is that Git is not the best placed entity to decide what type of authentication should be used for a particular request (see Design Principle 3).

OAuth Bearer tokens are often bundled in Basic Authorization headers [14], but given that the tokens are/can be short-lived and have a highly scoped set of permissions, this solution could be argued as being more secure than something like NTLM [15]. Similarly, the user may wish to be consulted on selecting a particular user account, or directly selecting an authentication mechanism for a request that otherwise they would not be able to use.

Also, as new authentication protocols appear Git does not need to be modified or updated for the user to take advantage of them; the credential helpers take on the responsibility of learning and selecting the "best" option.

Why not SSH? ============

There's nothing wrong with SSH. However, Git's Smart HTTP transport is widely used, often with OAuth Bearer tokens. Git's Smart HTTP transport sometimes requires less client setup than SSH transport, and works in environments when SSH ports may be blocked. As long as Git supports HTTP transport, it should support common and popular HTTP authentication methods.
