# Bluesky PDS OAuth Provider Clock Tolerance Bug Report
2
+
3
+
**Status:** Confirmed Bug
4
+
**Severity:** High (blocks OAuth authentication)
5
+
**Affects:** `@atproto/oauth-provider@0.13.4` (and likely earlier versions)
6
+
**Date Identified:** 2025-11-18
7
+
**Reported By:** ATCR Project
8
+

+

10
+
11
+
## Executive Summary
12
+
13
+
The Bluesky PDS OAuth provider (`@atproto/oauth-provider`) incorrectly rejects valid client assertion JWTs when the client's system clock is even milliseconds ahead of the PDS server clock. This occurs because the `jose` library's `jwtVerify` function is called with `maxTokenAge` (which triggers `iat` validation) but without setting `clockTolerance`, causing it to default to 0 seconds.
14
+
15
+
**Impact:** OAuth authentication fails for any client with normal clock drift ahead of the PDS, violating the ATProto OAuth specification and industry standards (FAPI 2.0, RFC 9068).
16
+
17
+
**Fix:** Add `clockTolerance: 30` (or 60) parameter to the `jwtVerify` call in `client.ts`.
18
+

21
+
## Problem Description
22
+
23
+
### Observed Behavior
24
+
25
+
OAuth client assertion validation fails with the error:
26
+
27
+
```
28
+
InvalidClientError: Validation of "client_assertion" failed: "iat" claim timestamp check failed (it should be in the past)
29
+
```
30
+
31
+
This occurs even when:
32
+
- Both systems have proper NTP synchronization
33
+
- Clock drift is minimal (observed: 115 milliseconds)
34
+
- The drift is well within industry-standard tolerances (30-60 seconds)
35
+
36
+
### Root Cause
37
+
38
+
**File:** `packages/oauth/oauth-provider/src/client/client.ts`
39
+
**Line:** ~240 (in `authenticate` method)
40
+
41
+
```typescript
42
+
const result = await this.jwtVerify<{
43
+
jti: string
44
+
exp?: number
45
+
}>(input.client_assertion, {
46
+
subject: this.id,
47
+
audience: checks.authorizationServerIdentifier,
48
+
requiredClaims: ['jti'],
49
+
maxTokenAge: CLIENT_ASSERTION_MAX_AGE / 1000,
50
+
// Missing: clockTolerance parameter
51
+
})
52
+
```
53
+
54
+
**The Issue:**
55
+
56
+
1. `maxTokenAge` is set, which triggers `iat` (Issued At) claim validation in the `jose` library
57
+
2. `clockTolerance` is **not set**, so `jose` defaults to `0 seconds`
58
+
3. Any client clock drift ahead of the PDS (even 1ms) causes rejection
59
+
4. The validation logic in `jose` is: `if (iat > now + clockTolerance) reject()`

### Timeline from Production Logs
66
+
67
+
**Example 1: Failed Authentication (ATCR AppView)**
68
+
69
+
```json
70
+
{
71
+
"time": 1763433826885, // PDS received request: 2025-11-18 02:43:46.885 UTC
72
+
"error": "iat claim timestamp check failed (it should be in the past)"
73
+
}
74
+
```
75
+
76
+
**Client assertion JWT payload:**
77
+
```json
78
+
{
79
+
"iat": 1763433827, // Token issued at: 2025-11-18 02:43:47.000 UTC
80
+
"exp": 1763433857
81
+
}
82
+
```
83
+
84
+
**Analysis:**
85
+
- PDS received request at: `02:43:46.885`
86
+
- JWT `iat` claim: `02:43:47.000`
87
+
- Time difference: **+115 milliseconds** (client ahead)
88
+
- Result: **REJECTED** ❌
89
+
90
+
---
91
+
92
+
**Example 2: Successful Authentication (tangled.org server)**
93
+
94
+
```json
95
+
{
96
+
"time": 1763434370365, // PDS received request: 2025-11-18 02:52:50.365 UTC
97
+
}
98
+
```
99
+
100
+
**Client assertion JWT payload:**
101
+
```json
102
+
{
103
+
"iat": 1763434370, // Token issued at: 2025-11-18 02:52:50.000 UTC
104
+
"exp": 1763434400
105
+
}
106
+
```
107
+
108
+
**Analysis:**
109
+
- PDS received request at: `02:52:50.365`
110
+
- JWT `iat` claim: `02:52:50.000`
111
+
- Time difference: **-365 milliseconds** (client behind)
112
+
- Result: **ACCEPTED** ✅
113
+
114
+
**Conclusion:** The PDS accepts tokens with `iat` in the past but rejects any token with `iat` in the future, regardless of how small the difference.
115

### Clock Synchronization Status
119
+
120
+
**ATCR AppView Server (Fedora, chronyd):**
121
+
- NTP Status: ✅ Synchronized
122
+
- Clock source: time.cloudflare.com
123
+
- Drift: Within normal NTP accuracy (5-100ms typical)
124
+
125
+
**Bluesky PDS (Kubernetes/Talos Linux):**
126
+
- NTP Status: ✅ Synchronized
127
+
- Clock source: time.cloudflare.com
128
+
- Talos node drift: +3.4ms ahead of NTP (observed)
129
+
130
+
**Both systems are properly synchronized.** The 115ms variance is normal for distributed systems with NTP.

## Specification Violations
135
+
136
+
### 1. ATProto OAuth Specification
137
+
138
+
**Quote from https://atproto.com/specs/oauth:**
139
+
140
+
> "Authorization Servers **should not reject client assertion JWTs generated less than a minute ago**"
141
+
142
+
**Interpretation:** The PDS should accept client assertions with `iat` timestamps within ~60 seconds (past or future) to account for clock skew.
143
+
144
+
**Current behavior:** Rejects any `iat` in the future, even by 1 millisecond.
145
+
146
+
**Verdict:** ❌ **VIOLATES ATProto spec**
147
+
148
+
---
149
+
150
+
### 2. FAPI 2.0 Security Profile (Financial-grade API)
151
+
152
+
**Quote from FAPI 2.0 spec:**
153
+
154
+
> "Authorization servers **MUST accept** JWTs with an `iat` or `nbf` timestamp between 0 and **10 seconds in the future**"
155
+
156
+
> "Authorization servers **SHALL reject** JWTs with an `iat` or `nbf` timestamp greater than **60 seconds in the future**"
157
+
158
+
**Rationale from spec:**
159
+
> "Even a few hundred milliseconds can cause rejection with clock skew... 10 seconds chosen to not affect security while increasing interoperability... Some ecosystems need 30 seconds to fully eliminate issues"
160
+
161
+
**Current behavior:** Rejects tokens 115ms in the future.
162
+
163
+
**Verdict:** ❌ **VIOLATES FAPI 2.0 minimum requirement (10s tolerance)**
164
+
165
+
---
166
+
167
+
### 3. RFC 9068 (JWT Profile for OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens)
168
+
169
+
**Quote:**
170
+
171
+
> "Implementers **MAY provide for some small leeway, usually no more than a few minutes**, to account for clock skew"
172
+
173
+
**Industry practice:** 30-60 seconds is the modern standard.
174
+
175
+
**Current behavior:** 0 seconds tolerance.
176
+
177
+
**Verdict:** ❌ **Below recommended practice**
178
+
179
+
---
180
+
181
+
### 4. RFC 9449 (DPoP - OAuth 2.0 Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession)
182
+
183
+
**Quote:**
184
+
185
+
> "To accommodate for clock offsets, the server **MAY accept DPoP proofs** that carry an `iat` time in the **reasonably near future (on the order of seconds or minutes)**"
186
+
187
+
**Current behavior:** Client assertions use similar JWT structure to DPoP proofs but have 0 tolerance.
188
+
189
+
**Verdict:** ❌ **Inconsistent with DPoP guidance**
190
+
191
+

192

## Industry Standards Analysis
194
+
195
+
### Library Defaults Comparison
196
+
197
+
| Library | Language | Default clockTolerance | Common Config |
198
+
|---------|----------|------------------------|---------------|
199
+
| **panva/jose** (PDS uses this) | JavaScript | **0s** ❌ | 30-60s |
200
+
| jsonwebtoken | Node.js | 0s | 30-60s |
201
+
| Spring Security | Java | 60s | 60s |
202
+
| nimbus-jose-jwt | Java | 60s | 60s |
203
+
| golang-jwt | Go | 0s | 60s |
204
+
| Okta JWT Verifier | Go | 120s | 120s |
205
+
206
+
**Key insight:** Modern libraries default to 0s (secure by default), but **application code must configure appropriate tolerance**. Enterprise libraries default to 60-120s for usability.
207
+
208

209
+
210
+
### OAuth Provider Recommendations
211
+
212
+
| Provider | Recommended clockTolerance |
213
+
|----------|---------------------------|
214
+
| Google | 30 seconds |
215
+
| Microsoft Azure AD | 300 seconds (5 minutes) |
216
+
| Okta | 120 seconds (2 minutes) |
217
+
| Auth0 | 5-30 seconds |
218
+
| **FAPI 2.0 (Banking)** | **10-60 seconds (10s minimum)** |
219
+
220
+
**Consensus:** 30-60 seconds is the modern standard for production OAuth systems.
221
+
222
+
---
223
+
224
+
### Real-World Clock Drift Expectations
225
+
226
+
**NTP Synchronization Accuracy:**
227
+
- Internet: 5-100ms typical (90% < 10ms)
228
+
- Same cloud provider, different regions: 10-50ms
229
+
- Multi-cloud/hybrid: Up to 200ms
230
+
- Mobile/edge devices: Up to 5 seconds
231
+
232
+
**Natural Clock Drift:**
233
+
- Typical RTC accuracy: 1-5 ppm (parts per million)
234
+
- Daily drift without NTP: ~0.4 seconds/day
235
+
- Network latency: Adds milliseconds to seconds
236
+
237
+
**Conclusion:** 115ms of drift with proper NTP is **completely normal** and expected in distributed systems.
238
+

241
+
## Proposed Fix
242
+
243
+
### One-Line Code Change
244
+
245
+
**File:** `packages/oauth/oauth-provider/src/client/client.ts`
246
+
**Location:** `authenticate` method (around line 240)
247
+
248
+
**Current code:**
249
+
```typescript
250
+
const result = await this.jwtVerify<{
251
+
jti: string
252
+
exp?: number
253
+
}>(input.client_assertion, {
254
+
subject: this.id,
255
+
audience: checks.authorizationServerIdentifier,
256
+
requiredClaims: ['jti'],
257
+
maxTokenAge: CLIENT_ASSERTION_MAX_AGE / 1000,
258
+
})
259
+
```
260
+
261
+
**Proposed fix:**
262
+
```typescript
263
+
const result = await this.jwtVerify<{
264
+
jti: string
265
+
exp?: number
266
+
}>(input.client_assertion, {
267
+
subject: this.id,
268
+
audience: checks.authorizationServerIdentifier,
269
+
requiredClaims: ['jti'],
270
+
maxTokenAge: CLIENT_ASSERTION_MAX_AGE / 1000,
271
+
clockTolerance: 30, // Accept tokens up to 30s in the future (FAPI-compliant)
272
+
})
273
+
```
274
+
275
+
**Alternative values:**
276
+
- **`clockTolerance: 10`** - FAPI 2.0 minimum requirement
277
+
- **`clockTolerance: 30`** - Recommended default (Google's practice)
278
+
- **`clockTolerance: 60`** - Maximum per FAPI 2.0, ATProto spec guidance
279
+
280
+
---
281
+
282
+
### Justification for 30 Seconds
283
+
284
+
**Security considerations:**
285
+
- 30 seconds is negligible for token expiration windows (typically 5-15 minutes)
286
+
- Does not meaningfully increase replay attack window
287
+
- Well within FAPI 2.0 maximum (60 seconds)
288
+
289
+
**Operational benefits:**
290
+
- Eliminates 99%+ of clock skew issues
291
+
- Accommodates normal NTP accuracy (5-100ms) with huge margin
292
+
- Handles network latency (typically <100ms)
293
+
- Prevents user-facing authentication failures
294
+
295
+
**Standards compliance:**
296
+
- ✅ Meets FAPI 2.0 minimum (10s) and maximum (60s)
297
+
- ✅ Aligns with ATProto spec ("less than a minute ago")
298
+
- ✅ Matches industry best practice (30-60s range)
299
+
- ✅ Consistent with Google's documented practice
300
+

302
+
303
+
## Testing Methodology
304
+
305
+
### Reproduction Steps
306
+
307
+
1. Set up two servers with independent NTP synchronization
308
+
2. Ensure Server A's clock is 100-500ms ahead of Server B
309
+
3. Configure OAuth client on Server A to authenticate against PDS on Server B
310
+
4. Attempt client assertion-based OAuth flow
311
+
5. Observe validation failure with `iat` error
312
+
313
+
### Verification After Fix
314
+
315
+
1. Apply the proposed code change (add `clockTolerance: 30`)
316
+
2. Rebuild and deploy PDS
317
+
3. Retry OAuth flow from Step 3 above
318
+
4. Confirm successful authentication
319
+
320
+
### Test Cases
321
+
322
+
**Should ACCEPT (with 30s tolerance):**
323
+
- ✅ `iat` 115ms in the future (observed case)
324
+
- ✅ `iat` 5 seconds in the future
325
+
- ✅ `iat` 29 seconds in the future
326
+
- ✅ `iat` exactly 30 seconds in the future
327
+
- ✅ `iat` 1 second in the past
328
+
- ✅ `iat` 5 minutes in the past (within `maxTokenAge`)
329
+
330
+
**Should REJECT:**
331
+
- ❌ `iat` 31 seconds in the future
332
+
- ❌ `iat` more than `maxTokenAge` seconds in the past
333
+
- ❌ Invalid JWT signature
334
+
- ❌ Missing required claims
335
+
336

## Impact Assessment
339
+
340
+
### Severity: HIGH
341
+
342
+
**User impact:**
343
+
- OAuth authentication fails intermittently based on clock variance
344
+
- Affects any OAuth client whose clock is ahead of PDS
345
+
- Unpredictable failures (works sometimes, fails other times)
346
+
- Poor developer experience (confusing error message)
347
+
348
+
**Affected scenarios:**
349
+
- Docker/Podman registries authenticating to ATCR
350
+
- Third-party OAuth clients (tangled.org works only because clock is behind)
351
+
- Distributed systems with independent time synchronization
352
+
- Cloud environments with clock drift (VMs, containers)
353
+
354
+
**Current workarounds:**
355
+
1. Ensure OAuth client clock is always behind PDS (impractical)
356
+
2. Fork indigo library to send older `iat` timestamps (client-side hack)
357
+
3. Patch PDS with custom Docker image (deployment complexity)
358
+
359
+
**None of these are acceptable long-term solutions.**
360
+
361

362
+
363
+
## Recommended Actions
364
+
365
+
### Immediate (Bluesky Team)
366
+
367
+
1. **Apply the one-line fix** to `oauth-provider/src/client/client.ts`
368
+
2. **Add `clockTolerance: 30`** to the `jwtVerify` call
369
+
3. **Publish new version** of `@atproto/oauth-provider` package
370
+
4. **Update PDS** to use fixed version
371
+
372
+
### Short-term (Bluesky Team)
373
+
374
+
1. **Add configuration option** for `clockTolerance` (allow deployments to adjust)
375
+
2. **Document the setting** in PDS configuration docs
376
+
3. **Add logging** to track clock skew patterns (for monitoring)
377
+
378
+
### Long-term (Bluesky Team)
379
+
380
+
1. **Add comprehensive time validation tests** covering clock skew scenarios
381
+
2. **Document OAuth timing requirements** in ATProto spec
382
+
3. **Consider** implementing server-provided nonces (DPoP pattern) for stricter validation without clock dependency
383
+
384
+
### For ATCR Project
385
+
386
+
**Until upstream fix:**
387
+
1. Document this issue in ATCR troubleshooting guide
388
+
2. Implement client-side workaround (fork indigo with `-1s` offset in `iat`)
389
+
3. Monitor for PDS updates with the fix
390
+
391
+
**After upstream fix:**
392
+
1. Update to fixed PDS version
393
+
2. Remove client-side workaround
394
+
3. Document resolution in changelog

## Appendix: Alternative Solutions Considered
445
+
446
+
### Option 1: Client-side Workaround (Fork indigo)
447
+
448
+
**Implementation:** Modify indigo's `NewClientAssertion` to subtract 1 second from `iat`
449
+
450
+
**Pros:**
451
+
- Quick fix for ATCR
452
+
- No PDS changes needed
453
+
- Full control over timing offset
454
+
455
+
**Cons:**
456
+
- Doesn't fix root cause
457
+
- Must maintain fork
458
+
- Other OAuth clients still affected
459
+
- Not a proper solution
460
+
461
+
**Verdict:** ⚠️ Temporary workaround only
462
+
463
+
---
464
+
465
+
### Option 2: Use Server-Provided Nonces
466
+
467
+
**Implementation:** PDS provides time-based nonce in error response, client includes in retry
468
+
469
+
**Pros:**
470
+
- Eliminates clock skew dependency entirely
471
+
- Stronger security model
472
+
- DPoP already uses this pattern
473
+
474
+
**Cons:**
475
+
- Requires significant changes to OAuth flow
476
+
- Adds latency (extra round trip)
477
+
- Not backward compatible
478
+
- Complex implementation
479
+
480
+
**Verdict:** 🔄 Consider for future enhancement, not immediate fix
481
+
482
+
---
483
+
484
+
### Option 3: Disable `maxTokenAge` Validation
485
+
486
+
**Implementation:** Remove `maxTokenAge` parameter from `jwtVerify` call
487
+
488
+
**Pros:**
489
+
- Eliminates `iat` validation
490
+
- Simple one-line change
491
+
492
+
**Cons:**
493
+
- ❌ Removes important security check (token age validation)
494
+
- ❌ Allows arbitrarily old tokens to be used
495
+
- ❌ Not a proper fix
496
+
497
+
**Verdict:** ❌ Not recommended - security regression
498
+
499
+
---
500
+
501
+
### Option 4: Add `clockTolerance` Parameter (Recommended)
502
+
503
+
**Implementation:** Add `clockTolerance: 30` to existing `jwtVerify` call
504
+
505
+
**Pros:**
506
+
- ✅ Minimal code change (one line)
507
+
- ✅ Fixes root cause
508
+
- ✅ Spec-compliant (FAPI 2.0, ATProto, RFCs)
509
+
- ✅ Industry standard practice
510
+
- ✅ No security regression
511
+
- ✅ Benefits all OAuth clients
512
+
513
+
**Cons:**
514
+
- None significant
515
+
516
+
**Verdict:** ✅ **Recommended solution**
517
+
518
+

519
+
520
+
## Conclusion
521
+
522
+
The Bluesky PDS OAuth provider has a clear bug: it validates client assertion JWTs with zero clock tolerance, causing authentication failures for properly synchronized systems with normal clock drift. This violates the ATProto OAuth specification, FAPI 2.0 requirements, and industry best practices.
523
+
524
+
The fix is trivial (one line of code), has no security downsides, and will improve interoperability for all OAuth clients authenticating to Bluesky PDS instances.
525
+
526
+
**Recommended action:** Add `clockTolerance: 30` to the `jwtVerify` call in `oauth-provider/src/client/client.ts`.

+
This document provides troubleshooting guidance for common ATCR deployment and operational issues.

+
## OAuth Authentication Failures
6
+
7
+
### JWT Timestamp Validation Errors
8
+
9
+
**Symptom:**
10
+
```
11
+
error: invalid_client
12
+
error_description: Validation of "client_assertion" failed: "iat" claim timestamp check failed (it should be in the past)
13
+
```
14
+
15
+
**Root Cause:**
16
+
The AppView server's system clock is ahead of the PDS server's clock. When the AppView generates a JWT for OAuth client authentication (confidential client mode), the "iat" (issued at) claim appears to be in the future from the PDS's perspective.
17
+
18
+
**Diagnosis:**
19
+
20
+
1. Check AppView system time:
21
+
```bash
22
+
date -u
23
+
timedatectl status
24
+
```
25
+
26
+
2. Check if NTP is active and synchronized:
27
+
```bash
28
+
timedatectl show-timesync --all
29
+
```
30
+
31
+
3. Compare AppView time with PDS time (if accessible):
32
+
```bash
33
+
# On AppView
34
+
date +%s
35
+
36
+
# On PDS (or via HTTP headers)
37
+
curl -I https://your-pds.example.com | grep -i date
38
+
```
39
+
40
+
4. Check AppView logs for clock information (logged at startup):
41
+
```bash
42
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "Configured confidential OAuth client"
43
+
```
44
+
45
+
Example log output:
46
+
```
47
+
level=INFO msg="Configured confidential OAuth client"
48
+
key_id=did:key:z...
49
+
system_time_unix=1731844215
50
+
system_time_rfc3339=2025-11-17T14:30:15Z
51
+
timezone=UTC
52
+
```
53
+
54
+
**Solution:**
55
+
56
+
1. **Enable NTP synchronization** (recommended):
57
+
58
+
On most Linux systems using systemd:
59
+
```bash
60
+
# Enable and start systemd-timesyncd
61
+
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
62
+
63
+
# Verify NTP is active
64
+
timedatectl status
65
+
```
66
+
67
+
Expected output:
68
+
```
69
+
System clock synchronized: yes
70
+
NTP service: active
71
+
```
72
+
73
+
2. **Alternative: Use chrony** (if systemd-timesyncd is not available):
74
+
```bash
75
+
# Install chrony
76
+
sudo apt-get install chrony # Debian/Ubuntu
77
+
sudo yum install chrony # RHEL/CentOS
78
+
79
+
# Enable and start chronyd
80
+
sudo systemctl enable chronyd
81
+
sudo systemctl start chronyd
82
+
83
+
# Check sync status
84
+
chronyc tracking
85
+
```
86
+
87
+
3. **Force immediate sync**:
88
+
```bash
89
+
# systemd-timesyncd
90
+
sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd
91
+
92
+
# Or with chrony
93
+
sudo chronyc makestep
94
+
```
95
+
96
+
4. **In Docker/Kubernetes environments:**
97
+
98
+
The container inherits the host's system clock, so fix NTP on the **host** machine:
99
+
```bash
100
+
# On Docker host
101
+
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
102
+
103
+
# Restart AppView container to pick up correct time
104
+
docker restart atcr-appview
105
+
```
106
+
107
+
5. **Verify clock skew is resolved**:
108
+
```bash
109
+
# Should show clock offset < 1 second
110
+
timedatectl timesync-status
111
+
```
112
+
113
+
**Acceptable Clock Skew:**
114
+
- Most OAuth implementations tolerate ±30-60 seconds of clock skew
115
+
- DPoP proof validation is typically stricter (±10 seconds)
116
+
- Aim for < 1 second skew for reliable operation
117
+
118
+
**Prevention:**
119
+
- Configure NTP synchronization in your infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
120
+
- Monitor clock skew in production (e.g., Prometheus node_exporter includes clock metrics)
121
+
- Use managed container platforms (ECS, GKE, AKS) that handle NTP automatically
122
+
123
+

124
+
125
+
### DPoP Nonce Mismatch Errors
126
+
127
+
**Symptom:**
128
+
```
129
+
error: use_dpop_nonce
130
+
error_description: DPoP "nonce" mismatch
131
+
```
132
+
133
+
Repeated multiple times, potentially followed by:
134
+
```
135
+
error: server_error
136
+
error_description: Server error
137
+
```
138
+
139
+
**Root Cause:**
140
+
DPoP (Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession) requires a server-provided nonce for replay protection. These errors typically occur when:
141
+
1. Multiple concurrent requests create a DPoP nonce race condition
142
+
2. Clock skew causes DPoP proof timestamps to fail validation
143
+
3. PDS session state becomes corrupted after repeated failures
144
+
145
+
**Diagnosis:**
146
+
147
+
1. Check if errors occur during concurrent operations:
148
+
```bash
149
+
# During docker push with multiple layers
150
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "use_dpop_nonce" | wc -l
151
+
```
152
+
153
+
2. Check for clock skew (see section above):
154
+
```bash
155
+
timedatectl status
156
+
```
157
+
158
+
3. Look for session lock acquisition in logs:
159
+
```bash
160
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "Acquired session lock"
161
+
```
162
+
163
+
**Solution:**
164
+
165
+
1. **If caused by clock skew**: Fix NTP synchronization (see section above)
166
+
167
+
2. **If caused by session corruption**:
168
+
```bash
169
+
# The AppView will automatically delete corrupted sessions
170
+
# User just needs to re-authenticate
171
+
docker login atcr.io
172
+
```
173
+
174
+
3. **If persistent despite clock sync**:
175
+
- Check PDS health and logs (may be a PDS-side issue)
176
+
- Verify network connectivity between AppView and PDS
177
+
- Check if PDS supports latest OAuth/DPoP specifications
178
+
179
+
**What ATCR does automatically:**
180
+
- Per-DID locking prevents concurrent DPoP nonce races
181
+
- Indigo library automatically retries with fresh nonces
182
+
- Sessions are auto-deleted after repeated failures
183
+
- Service token cache prevents excessive PDS requests
184
+
185
+
**Prevention:**
186
+
- Ensure reliable NTP synchronization
187
+
- Use a stable, well-maintained PDS implementation
188
+
- Monitor AppView error rates for DPoP-related issues
189
+
190

191
+
192
+
### OAuth Session Not Found
193
+
194
+
**Symptom:**
195
+
```
196
+
error: failed to get OAuth session: no session found for DID
197
+
```
198
+
199
+
**Root Cause:**
200
+
- User has never authenticated via OAuth
201
+
- OAuth session was deleted due to corruption or expiry
202
+
- Database migration cleared sessions
203
+
204
+
**Solution:**
205
+
206
+
1. User re-authenticates via OAuth flow:
207
+
```bash
208
+
docker login atcr.io
209
+
# Or for web UI: visit https://atcr.io/login
210
+
```
211
+
212
+
2. If using app passwords (legacy), verify token is cached:
213
+
```bash
214
+
# Check if app-password token exists
215
+
docker logout atcr.io
216
+
docker login atcr.io -u your.handle -p your-app-password
217
+
```
218
+

## AppView Deployment Issues
222
+
223
+
### Client Metadata URL Not Accessible
224
+
225
+
**Symptom:**
226
+
```
227
+
error: unauthorized_client
228
+
error_description: Client metadata endpoint returned 404
229
+
```
230
+
231
+
**Root Cause:**
232
+
PDS cannot fetch OAuth client metadata from `{ATCR_BASE_URL}/client-metadata.json`
233
+
234
+
**Diagnosis:**
235
+
236
+
1. Verify client metadata endpoint is accessible:
237
+
```bash
238
+
curl https://your-atcr-instance.com/client-metadata.json
239
+
```
240
+
241
+
2. Check AppView logs for startup errors:
242
+
```bash
243
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "client-metadata"
244
+
```
245
+
246
+
3. Verify `ATCR_BASE_URL` is set correctly:
247
+
```bash
248
+
echo $ATCR_BASE_URL
249
+
```
250
+
251
+
**Solution:**
252
+
253
+
1. Ensure `ATCR_BASE_URL` matches your public URL:
254
+
```bash
255
+
export ATCR_BASE_URL=https://atcr.example.com
256
+
```
257
+
258
+
2. Verify reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, etc.) routes `/.well-known/*` and `/client-metadata.json`:
259
+
```nginx
260
+
location / {
261
+
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
262
+
proxy_set_header Host $host;
263
+
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
264
+
}
265
+
```
266
+
267
+
3. Check firewall rules allow inbound HTTPS:
268
+
```bash
269
+
sudo ufw status
270
+
sudo iptables -L -n | grep 443
271
+
```
272
+
273
+
---
274
+
275
+
## Hold Service Issues
276
+
277
+
### Blob Storage Connectivity
278
+
279
+
**Symptom:**
280
+
```
281
+
error: failed to upload blob: connection refused
282
+
```
283
+
284
+
**Diagnosis:**
285
+
286
+
1. Check hold service logs:
287
+
```bash
288
+
docker logs atcr-hold 2>&1 | grep -i error
289
+
```
290
+
291
+
2. Verify S3 credentials are correct:
292
+
```bash
293
+
# Test S3 access
294
+
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket --endpoint-url=$S3_ENDPOINT
295
+
```
296
+
297
+
3. Check hold configuration:
298
+
```bash
299
+
env | grep -E "(S3_|AWS_|STORAGE_)"
300
+
```
301
+
302
+
**Solution:**
303
+
304
+
1. Verify environment variables in hold service:
305
+
```bash
306
+
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-key
307
+
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret
308
+
export S3_BUCKET=your-bucket
309
+
export S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
310
+
```
311
+
312
+
2. Test S3 connectivity from hold container:
313
+
```bash
314
+
docker exec atcr-hold curl -v $S3_ENDPOINT
315
+
```
316
+
317
+
3. Check S3 bucket permissions (requires PutObject, GetObject, DeleteObject)
318
+
319
+

320
+
321
+
## Performance Issues
322
+
323
+
### High Database Lock Contention
324
+
325
+
**Symptom:**
326
+
Slow Docker push/pull operations, high CPU usage on AppView
327
+
328
+
**Diagnosis:**
329
+
330
+
1. Check SQLite database size:
331
+
```bash
332
+
ls -lh /var/lib/atcr/ui.db
333
+
```
334
+
335
+
2. Look for long-running queries:
336
+
```bash
337
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "database is locked"
338
+
```
339
+
340
+
**Solution:**
341
+
342
+
1. For production, migrate to PostgreSQL (recommended):
343
+
```bash
344
+
export ATCR_UI_DATABASE_TYPE=postgres
345
+
export ATCR_UI_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost/atcr
346
+
```
347
+
348
+
2. Or increase SQLite busy timeout:
349
+
```go
350
+
// In code: db.SetMaxOpenConns(1) for SQLite
351
+
```
352
+
353
+
3. Vacuum the database to reclaim space:
354
+
```bash
355
+
sqlite3 /var/lib/atcr/ui.db "VACUUM;"
356
+
```
357
+
358
+
---
359
+
360
+
## Logging and Debugging
361
+
362
+
### Enable Debug Logging
363
+
364
+
Set log level to debug for detailed troubleshooting:
365
+
366
+
```bash
367
+
export ATCR_LOG_LEVEL=debug
368
+
docker restart atcr-appview
369
+
```
370
+
371
+
### Useful Log Queries
372
+
373
+
**OAuth token exchange errors:**
374
+
```bash
375
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "OAuth callback failed"
376
+
```
377
+
378
+
**Service token request failures:**
379
+
```bash
380
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "OAuth authentication failed during service token request"
381
+
```
382
+
383
+
**Clock diagnostics:**
384
+
```bash
385
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep "system_time"
386
+
```
387
+
388
+
**DPoP nonce issues:**
389
+
```bash
390
+
docker logs atcr-appview 2>&1 | grep -E "(use_dpop_nonce|DPoP)"
391
+
```
392
+
393
+
### Health Checks
394
+
395
+
**AppView health:**
396
+
```bash
397
+
curl http://localhost:5000/v2/
398
+
# Should return: {"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED",...}]}
399
+
```
400
+
401
+
**Hold service health:**
402
+
```bash
403
+
curl http://localhost:8080/.well-known/did.json
404
+
# Should return DID document
405
+
```
406
+
407
