Description

Add MS Teams as a gateway adapter plugin, with self-hosted deployment documentation. This is the first of two Teams PRs split from the original #550.

Closes #548

Architecture

Teams (Bot Framework) ──POST──▶ Gateway (:8080) ◀──WebSocket── OAB Pod
                                                  (OAB connects out)
                       ◀──REST──── (Bot Framework reply)

Changes

File Description
gateway/src/adapters/teams.rs Teams adapter — JWT validation, OAuth2 token management, Bot Framework API
gateway/src/adapters/mod.rs Add teams module declaration
gateway/src/main.rs Teams routing, AppState fields, service_url cache cleanup
gateway/Cargo.toml Add jsonwebtoken = "9" dependency
docs/msteams-selfhosted.md Self-hosted setup guide (Docker Compose + Cloudflare Tunnel)

Teams Adapter Features

  • Inbound: POST /webhook/teams endpoint for Bot Framework activities
  • JWT validation: Validates inbound requests using Microsoft OpenID metadata signing keys (JWKS cached, auto-refresh on key rotation)
  • JWT issuer validation: Validates against https://api.botframework.com per Bot Framework auth spec
  • OAuth2: Client credentials flow for outbound Bot Framework API calls (token cached with auto-refresh)
  • Reply routing: POST /v3/conversations/{id}/activities via per-conversation serviceUrl caching (4-hour TTL)
  • Tenant allowlist: Restrict which Azure AD tenants can interact with the bot
  • Sovereign cloud support: Configurable OAuth endpoint and OpenID metadata URL

Test Coverage (16 unit tests)

Area Tests
ensure_trailing_slash() 3 (adds/keeps/empty)
check_tenant() 5 (empty list, in list, not in list, no tenant info, no tenant + empty list)
validate_jwt() error paths 3 (missing Bearer, garbage token, empty bearer)
Activity deserialization 4 (minimal, full, non-message, invalid JSON)
TeamsConfig::from_env() 1 (returns None without env vars)

Context

This is part of the PR #550 split:

  1. ✅ PR refactor(gateway): split main.rs into adapter modules #550 — gateway adapter modular refactor (merged)
  2. This PR — Teams adapter + self-hosted docs (Closes feat: add MS Teams gateway adapter (ChatAdapter implementation) #548)
  3. Future PR — Teams enterprise deployment (Helm chart + AKS docs, Closes feat: Teams gateway deployment support (Helm chart + docs) #549)

Notes

- Add Teams adapter (JWT validation, OAuth2, Bot Framework API)
- Add Teams routing to gateway main.rs
- Add jsonwebtoken dependency
- Include 16 unit tests (tenant check, JWT errors, activity deserialization)
- Add docs/msteams-selfhosted.md (Docker Compose + Cloudflare Tunnel)
- service_url cache with TTL cleanup (4 hours)

Closes openabdev#548

PR Review: #667

Summary

  • Problem: Add MS Teams as a gateway adapter plugin for self-hosted deployments
  • Approach: Teams adapter module + self-hosted deployment docs
  • Risk level: Medium — JWT/OAuth2 code already reviewed in original #550

Core Assessment

  1. Problem clearly stated: ✅ — linked to #548, follows Custom Gateway ADR
  2. Approach appropriate: ✅ — clean adapter plugin, matches modular architecture from #550
  3. Alternatives considered: ✅ — research comment in #550 covers all Teams integration methods
  4. Best approach for now: ✅

Code Review

This code was extracted from the original #550 and has already been through:

  • masami-agent review (REQUEST_CHANGES → fixes applied)
  • obrutjack maintainer review (REQUEST_CHANGES → fixes applied → APPROVE)
  • 四法師 joint review (APPROVE with Suggested Changes)
  • neilkuan E2E POC verification (screenshot in #550)

All previous blockers were resolved:

  • ✅ JWT issuer validation (validates https://api.botframework.com)
  • ✅ JWKS cache miss auto-refresh (handles key rotation)
  • ✅ Dead code removed (reply_handlers, GatewayResponse echo block)
  • ✅ 16 unit tests passing

Integration Verification

Manually verified:

  • teams.rs imports (crate::schema::*, crate::AppState) match current main branch
  • TeamsConfig, TeamsAdapter, webhook, handle_reply are all pub — matches main.rs usage
  • AppState fields (teams, teams_service_urls) correctly added
  • Reply routing "teams" match arm correctly dispatches to adapter
  • service_url cleanup task (4-hour TTL, 5-min sweep) added

Deferred Items (tracked for follow-up)

  • serviceUrl JWT claim validation
  • RwLock for teams_service_urls (performance optimization)

Verdict

APPROVE — code already thoroughly reviewed in #550. Integration with merged modular architecture is clean.

Note: Cannot submit binding approval on own PR. Requesting @obrutjack approval and @thepagent code owner review.

PR Review: #667

Summary

  • Problem: Add MS Teams as a gateway adapter plugin for enterprise users
  • Approach: New adapters/teams.rs module + self-hosted docs, building on #550 modular architecture
  • Risk level: Medium — JWT validation, OAuth2, external API integration (all previously reviewed in original #550)

Core Assessment

  1. Problem clearly stated: ✅ — linked to #548, follows Custom Gateway ADR
  2. Approach appropriate: ✅ — clean adapter module, fits the architecture from #550
  3. Alternatives considered: ✅ — ADR + research from original #550 discussion
  4. Best approach for now: ✅ — plugin architecture keeps Teams isolated from core

Findings

🟠 IMPORTANT — Duplicate "no adapters configured" warning

main.rs has two "no adapters configured" warnings:

  1. Line ~219 (existing, not removed): if telegram_bot_token.is_none() && line_access_token.is_none() — fires before Teams adapter is initialized
  2. Line ~237 (new): if telegram_bot_token.is_none() && line_access_token.is_none() && teams.is_none() — correct check

If only Teams is configured, the old warning fires incorrectly. Fix: remove the original 2-adapter check (the new 3-adapter check replaces it).

ℹ️ Info

  • Code is from the original #550 (reviewed by obrutjack + masami-agent), all previous blockers resolved (JWT issuer validation, JWKS cache miss fallback, Activity.From field)
  • 16 unit tests covering tenant resolution, JWT error paths, activity deserialization, config parsing
  • docs/msteams-selfhosted.md is thorough — Azure setup, manifest options, Docker Compose, troubleshooting
  • All sensitive values use <YOUR_xxx> placeholders ✅
  • CI passes ✅
  • jsonwebtoken = "9" is a justified dependency

⚪ Nits

  • Instant import added to main.rs via use std::time::Instant — already imported on main from #550, so this is fine

Verdict

COMMENT — fix the duplicate warning, then ready for approval.

The old 2-adapter check fired before Teams adapter initialization,
producing a false warning when only Teams is configured. Removed in
favor of the new 3-adapter check that runs after all adapters init.

Hi @neilkuan! 👋

Since you've already done the E2E POC for Teams (verified working in #550), could you help review this PR? The Teams adapter code is extracted from the original #550 and integrated with the new modular gateway architecture.

Your review would be especially valuable for:

  • Verifying the adapter code matches what you tested in your POC
  • Confirming the self-hosted deployment docs (docs/msteams-selfhosted.md) align with your Cloudflare Tunnel setup

Thank you! 🙏

🔍 Four-Monk Triage Review — PR #667

Reviewers: 超渡法師, 普渡法師, 擺渡法師, 覺渡法師(pending)

Great work on the Teams adapter — the architecture follows the existing adapter pattern perfectly, JWKS cache with auto-refresh on kid miss is solid, resolved_tenant_id() three-level fallback is thorough, and the 304-line self-hosted docs are production-grade. 16 unit tests cover the critical paths well.

However, we found three issues that should be addressed before merge:


🔴 B1 — Missing serviceUrl claim validation (Auth contract)

The JWT validation in validate_jwt() checks issuer, audience, expiry, and signature, but does not verify that the token's serviceUrl claim matches the inbound Activity's serviceUrl.

This is a documented requirement in the Bot Framework auth spec. Since the gateway subsequently caches activity.service_url and uses it for outbound replies with an OAuth bearer token, the trust chain is incomplete without this binding.

Suggested fix: After decode(), compare the token's serviceUrl claim against the Activity's serviceUrl. Reject if they don't match.


🔴 B2 — Missing JWK endorsements / channelId validation (Auth contract)

The JWT validation does not verify that the signing key's endorsements include the inbound Activity's channelId (msteams).

This is also a documented requirement in the Bot Framework auth contract. Even though channelId is currently always msteams, omitting this check means the validation accepts tokens that lack the required channel endorsement constraint.

Suggested fix: When looking up the JWK by kid, also verify that the key's endorsements array contains the Activity's channelId. Add an endorsements field to the JwkKey struct.


🔴 B3 — Empty service_url cached without guard (Correctness)

In the webhook handler, service_url defaults to "" via unwrap_or("") and is inserted into the cache unconditionally. When handle_reply later uses this empty string, send_activity constructs a URL like /v3/conversations/{id}/activities (missing host), which will always fail.

Suggested fix:

if service_url.is_empty() {
    warn!("teams: activity missing service_url, cannot route replies");
    return StatusCode::OK;
}

🟡 Suggestions (non-blocking, recommended for follow-up)

  1. validate_nbf = false — Consider enabling nbf validation with validation.leeway = 30 for clock skew tolerance instead of skipping entirely
  2. algorithms includes RS384 — OpenID metadata only declares RS256; consider restricting to vec![Algorithm::RS256]
  3. service_url domain sanity check — Defense-in-depth (note: Microsoft has marked IsTrustedServiceUrl as obsolete, so this should not be the primary defense)
  4. teams_service_urls unbounded — Consider adding a max size similar to LINE's REPLY_TOKEN_CACHE_MAX
  5. jsonwebtoken = "9" unpinned — Security-critical dependency; consider pinning to exact version
  6. update_activity() dead code — Defined but never called; add #[allow(dead_code)] with comment or defer to streaming PR
  7. JWKS refresh_jwks thundering herd — Multiple concurrent cache misses during key rotation will all hit Microsoft's endpoint; consider documenting this as accepted behavior
  8. config_from_env test uses remove_var — Race condition risk in multi-threaded test runner; consider #[serial_test::serial] or temp_env

Overall this is a well-structured PR. The three blocking items are all straightforward fixes (~20 lines total) and don't require architectural changes.

…rsements, empty guard

- B1: Validate JWT serviceUrl claim matches activity's serviceUrl
- B2: Add JWK endorsements field, validate channelId is endorsed
- B3: Guard against empty service_url — skip caching, return early
- Update unit tests for new validate_jwt(auth, activity) signature

Thank you for the thorough review! I've addressed all three blockers in commit 8f911fb:

Finding Status
🔴 B1 — serviceUrl claim validation ✅ Fixed — after JWT decode, compares token's serviceurl claim against activity's serviceUrl. Rejects on mismatch.
🔴 B2 — JWK endorsements validation ✅ Fixed — added endorsements field to JwkKey, validates that the signing key endorses the activity's channelId.
🔴 B3 — Empty service_url guard ✅ Fixed — early return with warning log when service_url is empty, prevents caching empty strings.

Also updated the 3 JWT unit tests to pass the &Activity parameter (new validate_jwt signature).

The 🟡 suggestions are noted for follow-up. Please take another look when you get a chance.

🔍 Re-review: commit 8f911fb

Thanks for the quick turnaround on B1/B2/B3. B3 is fixed correctly ✅. B1 and B2 have the right structure but both have silent-skip gaps that need tightening:


✅ B3 — Empty service_url guard — FIXED

Guard is placed before cache insert. Correct.


⚠️ B1 — serviceUrl claim — silent-skip when token lacks claim

Current code:

if let Some(activity_service_url) = activity.service_url.as_deref() {
    if let Some(token_service_url) = token_data.claims.get("serviceurl")... {
        // only checks here
    }
    // token missing claim → silently passes
}

If the token has no serviceUrl claim, the inner if let falls through and validation passes without checking. The activity-side skip is covered by B3 (empty service_url early return), but the token-side skip has no safety net.

Suggested fix: If the activity has a serviceUrl but the token does not contain the serviceUrl claim, reject:

if let Some(activity_service_url) = activity.service_url.as_deref() {
    match token_data.claims.get("serviceurl").and_then(|v| v.as_str()) {
        Some(token_service_url) if token_service_url == activity_service_url => {}
        Some(token_service_url) => {
            anyhow::bail!("serviceUrl mismatch: token={token_service_url}, activity={activity_service_url}");
        }
        None => {
            anyhow::bail!("token missing serviceUrl claim");
        }
    }
}

⚠️ B2 — endorsements — two silent-skip paths

Current code:

if let Some(channel_id) = activity.channel_id.as_deref() {
    if !key.endorsements.is_empty() && !key.endorsements.iter().any(|e| e == channel_id) {
        anyhow::bail!(...);
    }
}

Two gaps:

  1. Activity missing channelId → entire check skipped. Should reject — cannot validate without it.
  2. key.endorsements is empty → check skipped. A key with no endorsements has not declared authorization for any channel and should not be trusted.

Suggested fix:

let channel_id = activity.channel_id.as_deref()
    .ok_or_else(|| anyhow::anyhow!("activity missing channelId"))?;
if key.endorsements.is_empty() || !key.endorsements.iter().any(|e| e == channel_id) {
    anyhow::bail!(
        "JWK endorsements {:?} do not include channelId={channel_id}",
        key.endorsements
    );
}

Summary

Item Status
B1 serviceUrl claim ⚠️ Needs tightening — reject when token lacks claim
B2 endorsements ⚠️ Needs tightening — reject on missing channelId or empty endorsements
B3 empty service_url ✅ Fixed

All fixes are ~3 lines each. The auth contract checks need to fail-closed (reject on missing input), not fail-open (skip on missing input).

- B1: Reject when activity or token lacks serviceUrl (was silent pass)
- B2: Reject when activity lacks channelId or JWK has empty endorsements (was silent pass)

✅ Four-Monk Re-review: commit d89ed15

All three blocking items are now resolved. Auth validation is fully fail-closed.

B1 — serviceUrl claim ✅

  • Activity missing serviceUrl → reject
  • Token missing serviceurl claim → reject
  • Mismatch → reject
  • No silent-skip paths remain

B2 — endorsements / channelId ✅

  • Activity missing channelId → reject
  • JWK endorsements empty → reject
  • endorsements does not contain channelId → reject
  • No silent-skip paths remain

B3 — empty service_url guard ✅ (fixed in previous commit)

🟡 Remaining suggestions (non-blocking, recommended for follow-up)

  1. validate_nbf = false → consider validation.leeway = 30
  2. algorithms includes RS384 → consider RS256-only
  3. service_url domain sanity check (defense-in-depth)
  4. teams_service_urls unbounded — consider max size
  5. jsonwebtoken = "9" — consider pinning exact version
  6. update_activity() dead code annotation
  7. JWKS refresh_jwks thundering herd documentation
  8. config_from_env test remove_var race condition

LGTM — approving. Great work addressing the auth contract gaps. 🙏
