GetAzureAuthTokenClaims created a new jwkset HTTP client on every call. Each client downloads Microsoft's JWKS and starts a refresh goroutine. This was a goroutine leak.

The number of leaked goroutines is equal to the number of Entra ID token signature verifications. An enrollment requires 2 token verifications. One from GetMDMWindowsPolicyResponse and another from GetMDMWindowsEnrollResponse. If the server has handled 1000 enrollments since startup, that's 2000 goroutines leaked, 2000 requests per hour or about 1 request every 2s to the same JWK Set endpoint.

The client is now created once per CertManager with sync.OnceValues: keys are fetched on first use, refreshed hourly (with other default behaviors).

Testing

  • Added/updated automated tests

  • QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

I did not do a full test with a Windows machine and Entra ID. I am lacking an Entra ID tenant.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Windows automatic enrollment with Microsoft Entra ID by preventing repeated downloads of JWT signing keys.
    • Added hourly key refresh behavior to keep authentication validation current.
    • Eliminated a background refresh issue that could cause resource leaks.
    • Improved handling of missing Windows MDM identity key configuration with a clearer error message.
    • Improved Azure authentication token validation, including clearer handling of empty or invalid tokens.

🟡 Changes recommended

The JWKS client initialization should not permanently cache transient initialization failures, and one newly introduced error message is misleading for Azure JWT validation.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a goroutine leak during Windows automatic enrollment (Microsoft Entra ID) by ensuring Azure JWKS signing keys are fetched/managed via a shared jwkset HTTP client per WSTEP CertManager, rather than instantiating a new client (and refresh goroutine) on every token verification.

Changes:

  • Move Azure AD JWT claim verification behind CertManager.GetAzureAuthTokenClaims and call it from the service layer.
  • Lazily initialize and reuse the JWKS client per CertManager instance to prevent per-call goroutine leaks.
  • Add unit tests covering Azure token validation and JWKS fetch behavior, plus a changes entry.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Azure JWT claim validation now uses a manager-owned JWKS client created once with sync.OnceValues. The client uses the default Azure discovery URI or the FLEET_DEV_AZURE_JWT_JWKS_URI override and refreshes keys hourly. Windows MDM authentication validates the certificate manager before calling the manager method. Tests cover token validation, claim extraction, JWKS reuse, unknown-key refresh, and tampered tokens.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1c2cd

Azure token validation now reuses a manager-owned JWKS client, avoiding repeated key downloads and refresh-goroutine leaks while retaining validation and key-refresh behavior. The supplied coverage supports merge readiness.
