+# Keycloak OAuth Configuration for Nextcloud MCP Server
+#
+# This configuration uses Keycloak as the OAuth/OIDC identity provider
+# while still accessing Nextcloud APIs. Nextcloud's user_oidc app validates
+# Keycloak bearer tokens and provisions users automatically.
+#
+# Architecture: Client → Keycloak (OAuth) → MCP Server → Nextcloud (user_oidc validates) → APIs
+#
+# This enables ADR-002 authentication patterns without admin credentials!
+
+# ==============================================================================
+# OAUTH PROVIDER SELECTION
+# ==============================================================================
+
+# OAuth provider: "keycloak" or "nextcloud" (default)
+OAUTH_PROVIDER=keycloak
+
+# ==============================================================================
+# KEYCLOAK CONFIGURATION
+# ==============================================================================
+
+# Keycloak base URL (accessible from MCP server container)
+KEYCLOAK_URL=http://keycloak:8080

+# NEXTCLOUD CONFIGURATION
+# ==============================================================================
+
+# Nextcloud URL (accessible from MCP server container)
+# Used for API access - Keycloak tokens are validated by user_oidc app
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://app:80
+
+# MCP server URL (for OAuth redirect URIs)
+# This is the publicly accessible URL that OAuth clients connect to
+NEXTCLOUD_MCP_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8002
+
+# Public Keycloak issuer URL (accessible from OAuth clients)
+# If clients access Keycloak via a different URL than the internal one,
+# set this to the public URL for OAuth flows

+
+# Enable offline_access scope to get refresh tokens
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true
+
+# Encryption key for storing refresh tokens (generate with instructions below)
+# IMPORTANT: Keep this secret! Tokens are encrypted at rest using this key.
+#
+# Generate a key:
+#   python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
+#
+# Example (DO NOT use this in production!):
+# TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-base64-encoded-fernet-key-here
+
+# Path to SQLite database for token storage
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+
+# ==============================================================================
+# DOCKER COMPOSE NOTES
+# ==============================================================================
+
+# When running via docker-compose, the mcp-keycloak service is pre-configured
+# with these environment variables. See docker-compose.yml for the full config.
+#
+# Start services:
+#   docker-compose up -d keycloak app mcp-keycloak
+#
+# View logs:
+#   docker-compose logs -f mcp-keycloak
+#
+# Check Keycloak realm:
+#   curl http://localhost:8888/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+#
+# Check user_oidc provider:
+#   docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak
+
+# ==============================================================================
+# KEYCLOAK SETUP VERIFICATION
+# ==============================================================================
+
+# 1. Verify Keycloak is running and realm is imported:
+#    curl http://localhost:8888/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+#
+# 2. Verify Nextcloud user_oidc provider is configured:
+#    docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak
+#
+# 3. Test OAuth flow manually:
+#    - Get token from Keycloak:
+#      curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/realms/nextcloud-mcp/protocol/openid-connect/token" \
+#        -d "grant_type=password" \
+#        -d "client_id=nextcloud-mcp-server" \
+#        -d "client_secret=mcp-secret-change-in-production" \
+#        -d "username=admin" \
+#        -d "password=admin" \
+#        -d "scope=openid profile email offline_access"
+#
+#    - Use token with Nextcloud API:
+#      curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
+#        http://localhost:8080/ocs/v2.php/cloud/capabilities
+#
+# 4. Connect MCP client to server:
+#    - Point your MCP client to http://localhost:8002
+#    - Complete OAuth flow via Keycloak (credentials: admin/admin)
+#    - Client should receive access token and be able to call MCP tools
+
+# ==============================================================================
+# TROUBLESHOOTING
+# ==============================================================================
+
+# If OAuth flow fails:
+# - Check that Keycloak is accessible: curl http://localhost:8888
+# - Check that user_oidc provider is configured: docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak
+# - Check MCP server logs: docker-compose logs mcp-keycloak
+# - Verify redirect URIs match in Keycloak client configuration
+#
+# If token validation fails:
+# - Verify user_oidc has bearer validation enabled (--check-bearer=1)
+# - Check Nextcloud logs: docker compose exec app tail -f /var/www/html/data/nextcloud.log
+# - Verify Keycloak discovery URL is accessible from Nextcloud container:
+#   docker compose exec app curl http://keycloak:8080/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+#
+# If offline_access/refresh tokens not working:
+# - Verify TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is set and valid
+# - Check token storage database: ls -lah /app/data/tokens.db (inside container)
+# - Check that offline_access scope is requested in realm configuration

+#### Keycloak OAuth/OIDC Testing (ADR-002 Integration)
+
+The MCP server supports using **Keycloak as an external OAuth/OIDC identity provider** instead of Nextcloud's built-in OIDC app. This validates the ADR-002 architecture for background jobs and external identity providers.
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+MCP Client → Keycloak (OAuth) → MCP Server → Nextcloud user_oidc (validates token) → APIs
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- ✅ **No admin credentials needed** - All API access uses user's Keycloak token
+- ✅ **External identity provider** - Demonstrates integration with enterprise IdPs
+- ✅ **ADR-002 validation** - Tests offline_access and refresh token patterns
+- ✅ **User provisioning** - Nextcloud automatically provisions users from Keycloak
+
+**Setup and Testing:**
+```bash
+# 1. Start Keycloak and MCP server with Keycloak OAuth
+docker-compose up -d keycloak app mcp-keycloak
+
+# 2. Verify Keycloak realm is available
+curl http://localhost:8888/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+
+# 3. Verify user_oidc provider is configured
+docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak
+
+# 4. Generate encryption key for refresh token storage (optional, for offline access)
+python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
+# Set in environment: export TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY='<key>'
+
+# 5. Test OAuth flow manually
+# Get token from Keycloak:
+TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:8888/realms/nextcloud-mcp/protocol/openid-connect/token" \
+  -d "grant_type=password" \
+  -d "client_id=mcp-client" \
+  -d "client_secret=mcp-secret-change-in-production" \
+  -d "username=admin" \
+  -d "password=admin" \
+  -d "scope=openid profile email offline_access" | jq -r .access_token)
+
+# Use token with Nextcloud API (validated by user_oidc):
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://localhost:8080/ocs/v2.php/cloud/capabilities
+
+# 6. Connect MCP client
+# Point client to: http://localhost:8002
+# Complete OAuth flow using Keycloak credentials: admin/admin
+```
+
+**Three MCP Server Containers:**
+- **`mcp`** (port 8000): Basic auth with admin credentials
+- **`mcp-oauth`** (port 8001): Nextcloud OIDC provider (JWT tokens)
+- **`mcp-keycloak`** (port 8002): Keycloak OIDC provider (external IdP)
+
+**Keycloak Configuration:**
+- **Realm**: `nextcloud-mcp` (auto-imported from `keycloak/realm-export.json`)
+- **Client**: `mcp-client` (pre-configured with PKCE, offline_access)
+- **Admin user**: `admin/admin` (created in realm export)
+- **Redirect URIs**: `http://localhost:*/callback`, `http://127.0.0.1:*/callback`
+
+**Environment Variables** (Generic OIDC - works with any provider):
+```bash
+# Generic OIDC configuration (provider-agnostic)
+OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL=http://keycloak:8080/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+OIDC_CLIENT_ID=nextcloud-mcp-server        # OAuth client ID
+OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=mcp-secret-...          # OAuth client secret
+
+# Nextcloud API configuration
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://app:80               # Nextcloud API (token validation in external IdP mode)
+
+# Refresh tokens and token exchange (ADR-002)
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true                 # Enable refresh tokens
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<fernet-key>          # Encrypt refresh tokens
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db       # Token storage path
+
+# OAuth scopes (optional - uses defaults if not specified)
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_SCOPES=openid profile email offline_access notes:read notes:write ...
+```
+
+**Provider Mode Detection:**
+- **External IdP mode**: If `OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL` issuer ≠ `NEXTCLOUD_HOST` → Uses external provider (Keycloak, Auth0, Okta, etc.)
+- **Integrated mode**: If `OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL` not set or issuer = `NEXTCLOUD_HOST` → Uses Nextcloud OIDC app
+
+**Nextcloud user_oidc Configuration:**
+The `user_oidc` app is automatically configured by `app-hooks/post-installation/15-setup-keycloak-provider.sh`:
+```bash
+# Configured with:
+--check-bearer=1          # Validate bearer tokens
+--bearer-provisioning=1   # Auto-provision users
+--unique-uid=1            # Hash user IDs
+--scope="openid profile email offline_access"
+```
+
+**Troubleshooting:**
+```bash
+# Check Keycloak is running
+docker-compose ps keycloak
+docker-compose logs keycloak
+
+# Check user_oidc provider configuration
+docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak
+
+# Check MCP server logs
+docker-compose logs -f mcp-keycloak
+
+# Check Nextcloud logs for token validation
+docker compose exec app tail -f /var/www/html/data/nextcloud.log
+
+# Verify Keycloak is accessible from Nextcloud container
+docker compose exec app curl http://keycloak:8080/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+```
+
+**ADR-002 Offline Access Testing:**
+The Keycloak integration enables testing ADR-002's primary authentication pattern (offline access with refresh tokens):
+
+1. **Refresh token storage**: Tokens stored encrypted in SQLite (`/app/data/tokens.db`)
+2. **Token refresh**: Access tokens refreshed automatically when expired
+3. **Background workers**: Can access APIs using stored refresh tokens
+4. **No admin credentials**: All operations use user's OAuth tokens
+
+**Note**: Service account tokens (client_credentials grant) were considered but rejected as they create Nextcloud user accounts and violate OAuth "act on-behalf-of" principles. See ADR-002 "Will Not Implement" section.
+
+See `docs/ADR-002-vector-sync-authentication.md` for architectural details.
+
+**Audience Validation:**
+Tokens include `aud: ["mcp-server", "nextcloud"]` claims for proper security:
+- MCP server validates tokens are intended for it
+- Nextcloud validates tokens include it as audience
+- Prevents token misuse across services
+
+See `docs/audience-validation-setup.md` for configuration details and `docs/keycloak-multi-client-validation.md` for realm-level validation behavior.

+# Nextcloud MCP Server Helm Chart
+
+This Helm chart deploys the Nextcloud MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server on a Kubernetes cluster, enabling AI assistants to interact with your Nextcloud instance.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes 1.19+
+- Helm 3.0+
+- A running Nextcloud instance (accessible from the Kubernetes cluster)
+- Nextcloud credentials (username/password for basic auth OR OAuth client for OAuth mode)
+
+## Installation
+
+### Quick Start with Basic Authentication
+
+```bash
+# Install with basic auth (recommended for most users)
+helm install nextcloud-mcp ./helm/nextcloud-mcp-server \
+  --set nextcloud.host=https://cloud.example.com \
+  --set auth.basic.username=myuser \
+  --set auth.basic.password=mypassword
+```
+
+### Using a values file
+
+Create a `custom-values.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+nextcloud:
+  host: https://cloud.example.com
+
+auth:
+  mode: basic
+  basic:
+    username: myuser
+    password: mypassword
+
+resources:
+  limits:
+    cpu: 1000m
+    memory: 512Mi
+  requests:
+    cpu: 100m
+    memory: 128Mi
+```
+
+Install with your custom values:
+
+```bash
+helm install nextcloud-mcp ./helm/nextcloud-mcp-server -f custom-values.yaml
+```
+
+### OAuth Authentication Mode (Experimental)
+
+**Warning:** OAuth mode is experimental and requires patches to the Nextcloud `user_oidc` app. See the [Authentication Guide](https://github.com/cbcoutinho/nextcloud-mcp-server#authentication) for details.
+
+```yaml
+nextcloud:
+  host: https://cloud.example.com
+  mcpServerUrl: https://mcp.example.com
+  publicIssuerUrl: https://cloud.example.com
+
+auth:
+  mode: oauth
+  oauth:
+    # Optional: provide pre-registered client credentials
+    # If not provided, will use Dynamic Client Registration
+    clientId: "your-client-id"
+    clientSecret: "your-client-secret"
+    persistence:
+      enabled: true
+      size: 100Mi
+
+ingress:
+  enabled: true
+  className: nginx
+  hosts:
+    - host: mcp.example.com
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
+  tls:
+    - secretName: nextcloud-mcp-tls
+      hosts:
+        - mcp.example.com
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Key Configuration Parameters
+
+#### Nextcloud Connection
+
+| Parameter | Description | Default |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|
+| `nextcloud.host` | URL of your Nextcloud instance (required) | `""` |
+| `nextcloud.mcpServerUrl` | MCP server URL for OAuth callbacks (OAuth only, optional) | Smart default* |
+| `nextcloud.publicIssuerUrl` | Public issuer URL for OAuth (OAuth only, optional) | Smart default** |
+
+**Smart Defaults:**
+- `*mcpServerUrl`: If not set, automatically uses ingress host (if enabled) or `http://localhost:8000` (for port-forward setups)
+- `**publicIssuerUrl`: If not set, automatically defaults to `nextcloud.host` (which works when both clients and MCP server access Nextcloud at the same URL)
+
+#### Authentication
+
+| Parameter | Description | Default |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|
+| `auth.mode` | Authentication mode: `basic` or `oauth` | `basic` |

+| `ingress.tls` | Ingress TLS configuration | `[]` |
+
+#### Autoscaling
+
+| Parameter | Description | Default |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|
+| `autoscaling.enabled` | Enable HPA | `false` |
+| `autoscaling.minReplicas` | Minimum replicas | `1` |

+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Auth with Ingress
+
+```yaml
+nextcloud:
+  host: https://cloud.example.com
+
+auth:
+  mode: basic
+  basic:
+    username: admin
+    password: secure-password
+
+ingress:
+  enabled: true
+  className: nginx
+  annotations:
+    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
+  hosts:
+    - host: mcp.example.com
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
+  tls:
+    - secretName: mcp-tls
+      hosts:
+        - mcp.example.com
+
+resources:
+  limits:
+    cpu: 2000m
+    memory: 1Gi
+  requests:
+    cpu: 200m
+    memory: 256Mi
+```
+
+### Example 2: Using Existing Secrets
+
+#### Basic Auth with Existing Secret
+
+Create a secret manually:
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic nextcloud-credentials \
+  --from-literal=username=myuser \
+  --from-literal=password=mypassword
+```
+
+Then reference it in your values:
+
+```yaml
+nextcloud:
+  host: https://cloud.example.com
+
+auth:
+  mode: basic
+  basic:
+    existingSecret: nextcloud-credentials
+    usernameKey: username
+    passwordKey: password
+```
+
+#### OAuth with Existing Secret (Pre-registered Client)
+
+If you have a pre-registered OAuth client:
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic nextcloud-oauth-creds \
+  --from-literal=clientId=my-oauth-client-id \
+  --from-literal=clientSecret=my-oauth-client-secret
+```
+
+Then reference it in your values:
+
+```yaml
+nextcloud:
+  host: https://cloud.example.com
+  # mcpServerUrl and publicIssuerUrl are optional!
+  # If not set, mcpServerUrl defaults to ingress host or localhost
+  # publicIssuerUrl defaults to nextcloud.host
+
+auth:
+  mode: oauth
+  oauth:
+    existingSecret: nextcloud-oauth-creds
+    clientIdKey: clientId
+    clientSecretKey: clientSecret
+    persistence:
+      enabled: true
+
+ingress:
+  enabled: true
+  hosts:
+    - host: mcp.example.com
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
+  tls:
+    - secretName: mcp-tls
+      hosts:
+        - mcp.example.com
+```
+
+### Example 3: OAuth with Document Processing and Dynamic Client Registration
+
+This example shows OAuth without pre-registered credentials (using DCR) and optional URL values:
+
+```yaml
+nextcloud:
+  host: https://cloud.example.com
+  # mcpServerUrl will automatically use ingress host (https://mcp.example.com)
+  # publicIssuerUrl will automatically default to nextcloud.host
+
+auth:
+  mode: oauth
+  oauth:
+    # No clientId/clientSecret - will use Dynamic Client Registration!
+    persistence:
+      enabled: true
+      storageClass: fast-ssd
+      size: 200Mi
+
+documentProcessing:
+  enabled: true
+  defaultProcessor: unstructured
+  unstructured:
+    enabled: true
+    apiUrl: http://unstructured-api:8000
+    strategy: hi_res
+    languages: eng,deu,fra
+
+ingress:
+  enabled: true
+  className: nginx
+  hosts:
+    - host: mcp.example.com
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
+```
+
+### Example 4: High Availability with Autoscaling
+
+```yaml
+replicaCount: 2
+
+autoscaling:
+  enabled: true
+  minReplicas: 2
+  maxReplicas: 20
+  targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: 70
+  targetMemoryUtilizationPercentage: 80
+
+resources:
+  limits:
+    cpu: 2000m
+    memory: 1Gi
+  requests:
+    cpu: 500m
+    memory: 512Mi
+
+affinity:
+  podAntiAffinity:
+    preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
+      - weight: 100
+        podAffinityTerm:
+          labelSelector:

+helm uninstall nextcloud-mcp
+```
+
+**Note:** This will delete all resources including PVCs. If you want to preserve OAuth client data, backup the PVC before uninstalling.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Check pod status
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=nextcloud-mcp-server
+```
+
+### View logs
+
+```bash
+kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=nextcloud-mcp-server --tail=100 -f
+```
+
+### Check health endpoints
+
+The application exposes health check endpoints for monitoring:
+
+```bash
+# Port forward to the service
+kubectl port-forward svc/nextcloud-mcp 8000:8000
+
+# Check liveness (if app is running)
+curl http://localhost:8000/health/live
+
+# Check readiness (if app is ready to serve traffic)
+curl http://localhost:8000/health/ready
+```
+
+**Example responses:**
+
+Liveness (always returns 200 if running):
+```json
+{
+  "status": "alive",
+  "mode": "basic"
+}
+```
+
+Readiness (returns 200 if ready, 503 if not ready):
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ready",
+  "checks": {
+    "nextcloud_configured": "ok",
+    "auth_mode": "basic",
+    "auth_configured": "ok"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Connection refused to Nextcloud**
+   - Verify `nextcloud.host` is accessible from the Kubernetes cluster
+   - Check network policies and firewall rules
+
+2. **Authentication failures**
+   - For basic auth: verify username/password are correct
+   - For OAuth: check that OIDC app is properly configured
+
+3. **OAuth persistence issues**
+   - Verify PVC is bound: `kubectl get pvc`
+   - Check storage class exists: `kubectl get storageclass`
+
+4. **Resource constraints**
+   - Increase memory limits if seeing OOM errors
+   - Adjust CPU requests based on load
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Secrets Management**: Consider using external secret management (e.g., Sealed Secrets, External Secrets Operator)
+2. **TLS**: Always use TLS/HTTPS for production deployments
+3. **Network Policies**: Restrict network access to necessary services only
+4. **RBAC**: Review and customize ServiceAccount permissions as needed
+5. **App Passwords**: For basic auth, use Nextcloud app passwords instead of main account passwords

+# ADR-002: Vector Database Background Sync Authentication
+
+## Status
+Accepted - Tier 2 (Token Exchange with Delegation) Implemented
+
+**Important**: Service account tokens (old Tier 1) have been rejected as they violate OAuth "act on-behalf-of" principles by creating Nextcloud user accounts for the MCP server.
+
+## Context
+
+To enable semantic search capabilities, the MCP server needs to index user content (notes, files, calendar events) into a vector database. This requires a background sync worker that:
+
+1. **Runs independently** of user requests (periodic or continuous operation)
+2. **Accesses multiple users' content** to build a comprehensive search index
+3. **Respects user permissions** - only index content users have access to
+4. **Operates in OAuth mode** - where the MCP server doesn't have traditional admin credentials
+
+### Current OAuth Architecture
+
+The MCP server currently operates in two authentication modes:
+
+1. **BasicAuth Mode**: Uses username/password credentials (typically admin account)
+2. **OAuth Mode**: Single OAuth client, multiple user tokens
+   - Users authenticate via OAuth flow
+   - Each request includes user's access token
+   - Server creates per-request `NextcloudClient` with user's bearer token
+   - No tokens are stored server-side
+
+### The Challenge
+
+Background workers need long-lived authentication to:
+- Index content continuously/periodically
+- Process multiple users' data in batch operations
+- Operate when users are not actively making requests
+
+However, in OAuth mode:
+- User access tokens are ephemeral (exist only during request)
+- MCP server doesn't store user credentials
+- Admin credentials defeat the purpose of OAuth
+
+We need an OAuth-native solution that maintains security while enabling background operations.
+
+## Decision
+
+We will implement a **tiered OAuth authentication strategy** for background operations in OAuth mode. When OAuth authentication is not configured or available, the background sync feature is not available.
+
+**Note**: This ADR applies only to **OAuth mode**. In BasicAuth mode (single-user deployments), credentials are already available via environment variables, and background operations work without additional configuration.
+
+### OAuth "Act On-Behalf-Of" Principle
+
+**Core Requirement**: The MCP server must NEVER create its own user identity in Nextcloud when operating in OAuth mode.
+
+**Valid Patterns**:
+- ✅ **Foreground operations**: Use user's access token from MCP request (currently implemented)
+- ✅ **Background operations**: Token exchange to impersonate/delegate as user (requires provider support)
+- ❌ **Service account**: Creates independent identity in Nextcloud (violates OAuth principles)
+
+**Why This Matters**:
+1. **Audit Trail**: All operations must be attributable to the actual user, not a service account
+2. **Stateless Server**: MCP server should not have persistent identity/state in Nextcloud
+3. **Security Model**: Avoid creating "admin by another name" with broad cross-user permissions
+4. **OAuth Design**: OAuth tokens represent user authorization, not server authorization
+
+**If Token Exchange Not Available**:
+- Background operations simply cannot happen in OAuth mode
+- This is correct behavior - not a limitation to work around
+- Don't create service accounts as "workaround" - this defeats OAuth's purpose
+- Use BasicAuth mode if background operations are critical to your deployment
+
+### Tier 1: Token Exchange with Impersonation (RFC 8693) ⚠️ **NOT IMPLEMENTED**
+
+**Better Security** - Requires provider support for user impersonation
+
+- Service account exchanges token to impersonate specific users
+- Each background operation runs as the target user
+- Uses `requested_subject` parameter in token exchange
+- Per-user permission enforcement at API level
+
+**Requirements**:
+- OIDC provider supports RFC 8693 token exchange
+- Provider supports user impersonation (rare - requires Legacy Keycloak V1 with preview features)
+- Service account has impersonation permissions
+
+**Status**: ⚠️ Not implemented - Keycloak Standard V2 doesn't support impersonation
+**Reference**: See `docs/oauth-impersonation-findings.md` for investigation details
+
+### Tier 2: Token Exchange with Delegation (RFC 8693) ✅ **IMPLEMENTED**
+
+**Best Security** - Requires provider support for delegation with `act` claim
+
+- Service account exchanges token on behalf of users (delegation, not impersonation)
+- Token includes `act` claim showing service account as actor
+- API sees both the user (`sub`) and actor (`act`) in token
+- Full audit trail of delegated operations
+- **Implementation**: `KeycloakOAuthClient.exchange_token_for_user()` (keycloak_oauth.py:397-495)
+- **Testing**: Manual test in `tests/manual/test_token_exchange.py`
+- **Limitation**: Keycloak doesn't support `act` claim yet - [Issue #38279](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/38279)
+
+**Requirements**:
+- OIDC provider supports RFC 8693 token exchange
+- Provider supports delegation with `act` claim (very rare)
+- Proper token exchange permissions configured
+
+**Current Implementation**: Internal-to-internal token exchange with audience modification (without `act` claim)
+
+### ❌ Will Not Implement
+
+**1. Service Account with Independent Identity (client_credentials)**
+- **Status**: Previously proposed as Tier 1, now rejected
+- **Why Invalid**: Creates Nextcloud user account for MCP server (e.g., `service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server`)
+- **Problems**:
+  - **Violates OAuth "act on-behalf-of" principle**: Actions attributed to service account instead of real user
+  - **Breaks audit trail**: Can't determine which user initiated the action
+  - **Creates stateful server identity**: MCP server has persistent identity/data in Nextcloud
+  - **Security risk**: Service account becomes "admin by another name" with broad cross-user permissions
+  - **User provisioning side effect**: Nextcloud's `user_oidc` app auto-provisions service account as real user
+- **Code Status**: Implementation exists (`KeycloakOAuthClient.get_service_account_token()`) but marked with warnings
+- **Alternative**: If service account pattern truly needed, use BasicAuth mode instead of OAuth mode
+- **Reference**: See commit c12df98 for detailed analysis of why this approach was rejected
+
+**2. Offline Access with Refresh Tokens**
+- **MCP Protocol Architecture**: FastMCP SDK manages OAuth where MCP Client handles refresh tokens
+- **Security Model**: Refresh tokens must never be shared between client and server (OAuth best practice)
+- **Technical Impossibility**: MCP Server has no access to refresh tokens from the OAuth callback
+- **Alternative**: Token exchange provides similar benefits without violating OAuth security model
+
+**3. Admin Credentials Fallback**
+- **Out of Scope**: This ADR focuses on OAuth mode only
+- **Not Appropriate**: Admin credentials bypass OAuth security model
+- **BasicAuth Mode**: For single-user deployments needing background operations, use BasicAuth mode instead
+
+### Key Architectural Principles
+
+1. **Capability Detection**: Automatically detect which OAuth methods are supported
+2. **Dual-Phase Authorization**:
+   - Sync worker indexes with service credentials
+   - User requests verify access with user's OAuth token
+3. **Defense in Depth**: Vector database is search accelerator, not security boundary
+4. **Separation of Concerns**: Sync credentials ≠ Request credentials
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### 1. Token Exchange with Impersonation (Tier 1) ✅ IMPLEMENTED (Legacy V1 only)
+
+**Status**: Implemented and working with Keycloak Legacy V1 (`--features=preview`). Requires additional permission configuration. Recommended for advanced use cases only.
+
+**When to Use**: When you need the exchanged token to have the exact same identity as the target user (sub claim changes). This provides the cleanest separation but requires preview features.
+
+#### 1.1 Impersonation Flow
+
+```python
+async def exchange_token_for_user(
+    subject_token: str,
+    target_user_id: str,
+    audience: str | None = None,
+    scopes: list[str] | None = None,
+) -> dict:
+    """Exchange service token to impersonate specific user.
+
+    Requires Keycloak Legacy V1 (--features=preview) and impersonation permissions.
+    The returned token will have the target_user_id as the 'sub' claim.
+    """
+    data = {
+        "grant_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange",
+        "subject_token": subject_token,
+        "subject_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token",
+        "requested_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token",
+        "requested_subject": target_user_id,  # ← KEY: Impersonate this user
+    }
+
+    if audience:
+        data["audience"] = audience
+    if scopes:
+        data["scope"] = " ".join(scopes)
+
+    response = await self._http_client.post(
+        self.token_endpoint,
+        data=data,
+        auth=(self.client_id, self.client_secret),
+    )
+    response.raise_for_status()
+    return response.json()
+```
+
+**Implementation Requirements**:
+- ✅ Keycloak Legacy V1 with `--features=preview` flag
+- ✅ Impersonation role granted to service account (see configuration below)
+- ❌ NOT supported in Keycloak Standard V2 (rejects `requested_subject` parameter)
+- ⚠️ Very few OIDC providers support user impersonation via token exchange
+
+**Empirical Testing (2025-11-02)**:
+
+Tested impersonation with `requested_subject` parameter against Keycloak 26.4.2:
+
+**Test Command**: `uv run python tests/manual/test_impersonation.py`
+
+**Keycloak Standard V2 Result**:
+```
+HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+{
+  "error": "invalid_request",
+  "error_description": "Parameter 'requested_subject' is not supported for standard token exchange"
+}
+```
+
+**Confirmation**: Keycloak explicitly rejects `requested_subject` in Standard V2, confirming this feature is unsupported. The error message is unambiguous - this parameter is not available in the current production token exchange implementation.
+
+**Keycloak Legacy V1 Result - Initial Test** (with `--features=preview`):
+```
+HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
+{
+  "error": "access_denied",
+  "error_description": "Client not allowed to exchange"
+}
+
+Keycloak logs:
+reason="subject not allowed to impersonate"
+impersonator="service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server"
+requested_subject="admin"
+```
+
+**Analysis**: Legacy V1 **accepts** the `requested_subject` parameter (error changed from "not supported" to "not allowed"), indicating the feature is present but requires permission configuration.
+
+**Configuration Steps to Enable Impersonation**:
+
+1. **Enable Keycloak preview features** (in docker-compose.yml):
+   ```yaml
+   command:
+     - "start-dev"
+     - "--features=preview"  # Required for Legacy V1 token exchange
+   ```
+
+2. **Grant impersonation role to service account** (using Keycloak CLI):
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec keycloak /opt/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh config credentials \
+     --server http://localhost:8080 \
+     --realm master \
+     --user admin \
+     --password admin
+
+   docker compose exec keycloak /opt/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh add-roles \
+     -r nextcloud-mcp \
+     --uusername service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server \
+     --cclientid realm-management \
+     --rolename impersonation
+   ```
+
+**Keycloak Legacy V1 Result - After Permission Grant**:
+```
+✅ Token exchange with impersonation SUCCEEDED!
+
+📊 Response details:
+  Issued token type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token
+  Token type: Bearer
+  Expires in: 300s
+
+📋 Token claims analysis:
+  Subject (sub): 47c3ba5a-9104-45e0-b84e-0e39ab942c9c  (admin user)
+  Preferred username: admin
+  Client ID (azp): nextcloud-mcp-server
+
+✅ IMPERSONATION VERIFIED:
+   Original sub: service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server
+   New sub:      47c3ba5a-9104-45e0-b84e-0e39ab942c9c
+   ➡️  The subject claim CHANGED - impersonation worked!
+```
+
+**Nextcloud API Validation**:
+The impersonated token successfully authenticated with Nextcloud APIs, confirming the token is valid and properly represents the target user.
+
+**Implementation Status**: Impersonation **IS IMPLEMENTED** and working with Keycloak Legacy V1. The implementation has been tested and verified to work correctly when properly configured.
+
+**Production Considerations**:
+- ⚠️ Requires preview features (`--features=preview`) - not production-ready
+- ⚠️ Requires Legacy V1 token exchange (may be deprecated in future Keycloak versions)
+- ⚠️ Requires manual CLI configuration for each service account
+- ⚠️ More complex permission model compared to delegation
+
+**When to Use Tier 1 (Impersonation)**:
+- ✅ You need the exchanged token to have the exact same identity as the target user
+- ✅ You want the cleanest separation (sub claim changes completely)
+- ✅ Your environment can support preview features
+- ✅ You have operational processes to manage impersonation permissions
+
+**Recommendation**: For most use cases, use Tier 2 (Delegation) instead. It provides equivalent "act on-behalf-of" capability using production-ready Standard V2 token exchange. Use Tier 1 only when you specifically need identity impersonation.
+
+**Test Scripts**:
+- `tests/manual/test_impersonation.py` - Complete impersonation test with validation
+- `tests/manual/configure_impersonation.py` - Automated permission configuration helper
+- **See**: `docs/oauth-impersonation-findings.md` for detailed investigation
+
+### 2. Token Exchange with Delegation (Tier 2) ✅ IMPLEMENTED (Standard V2)
+
+**Status**: Implemented and working with Keycloak Standard V2 (production-ready). This is the **recommended** approach for most use cases.
+
+**When to Use**: When you need "act on-behalf-of" functionality with production-ready features. The service account maintains its identity (sub claim unchanged) but acts on behalf of the user. Fully supported in Keycloak Standard V2 without preview features.
+
+#### 2.1 Capability Detection
+```python
+async def check_token_exchange_support(discovery_url: str) -> bool:
+    """Check if OIDC provider supports RFC 8693 token exchange"""
+
+    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
+        response = await client.get(discovery_url)
+        discovery = response.json()
+
+        # Check for token exchange grant type
+        grant_types = discovery.get("grant_types_supported", [])
+        return "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange" in grant_types
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Delegation Token Exchange
+```python
+async def exchange_for_user_token(
+    service_token: str,
+    target_user_id: str,
+    audience: str,
+    scopes: list[str]
+) -> str:
+    """Exchange service token for user-scoped token via RFC 8693"""
+
+    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
+        response = await client.post(
+            token_endpoint,
+            data={
+                "grant_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange",
+                "subject_token": service_token,
+                "subject_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token",
+                "requested_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token",
+                "audience": audience,  # Target resource server (e.g., "nextcloud")
+                "scope": " ".join(scopes)
+            },
+            auth=(client_id, client_secret)
+        )
+
+        if response.status_code != 200:
+            logger.warning(f"Token exchange failed: {response.status_code}")
+            raise TokenExchangeNotSupportedError()
+
+        return response.json()["access_token"]
+```
+
+**Implementation**: `KeycloakOAuthClient.exchange_token_for_user()` (keycloak_oauth.py:397-495)
+
+**Note**: Full delegation with `act` claim requires provider support that is currently very rare. Keycloak tracking: [Issue #38279](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/38279)
+
+### 3. Comparison: When to Use Each Tier
+
+| Feature | Tier 1: Impersonation | Tier 2: Delegation (Recommended) |
+|---------|----------------------|-----------------------------------|
+| **Status** | ✅ Implemented (Legacy V1) | ✅ Implemented (Standard V2) |
+| **Token Identity** | Target user (`sub` changes) | Service account (`sub` unchanged) |
+| **Keycloak Version** | Legacy V1 (`--features=preview`) | Standard V2 (production-ready) |
+| **Setup Complexity** | High (manual permissions) | Low (automatic) |
+| **Production Ready** | ⚠️ Preview features required | ✅ Fully production-ready |
+| **Permission Grant** | Manual CLI per service account | Automatic via token exchange |
+| **Audit Trail** | Shows as target user | Shows as service account acting for user |
+| **Token Claims** | `sub: user-id` | `sub: service-account-id` |
+| **Provider Support** | Rare (Keycloak Legacy V1 only) | Common (Keycloak, Auth0, Okta) |
+| **Use Case** | Need exact user identity | Standard OAuth workflows |
+| **Recommendation** | Advanced use only | **Default choice** |
+
+**Decision Guide**:
+- ✅ **Use Tier 2 (Delegation)** for:
+  - Production deployments
+  - Standard OAuth workflows
+  - Clear audit trails (service account visible)
+  - Maximum provider compatibility
+
+- ⚠️ **Use Tier 1 (Impersonation)** only if:
+  - You specifically need exact user identity (sub claim must match)
+  - You can accept preview/experimental features
+  - You have operational processes for permission management
+  - Your IdP supports `requested_subject` parameter

+```python
+@mcp.tool()
+@require_scopes("notes:read")

+
+### 5. Security Implementation
+
+#### 5.1 Service Account Credentials Protection
+```python
+# Store OAuth client credentials securely
+# NEVER commit to source control
+
+# Option 1: Environment variables (for development)
+export OIDC_CLIENT_ID="nextcloud-mcp-server"
+export OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET="<secure-secret>"
+
+# Option 2: Secrets manager (for production)
+import boto3
+secrets = boto3.client('secretsmanager')
+secret = secrets.get_secret_value(SecretId='nextcloud-mcp-oauth')
+client_secret = json.loads(secret['SecretString'])['client_secret']
+
+# Option 3: Encrypted storage (for self-hosted)
+from nextcloud_mcp_server.auth.refresh_token_storage import RefreshTokenStorage
+
+storage = RefreshTokenStorage.from_env()
+await storage.initialize()
+
+# Client credentials are encrypted at rest using Fernet
+client_data = await storage.get_oauth_client()
+```
+
+#### 5.2 Token Lifecycle Management
+```python
+async def manage_service_token_lifecycle():
+    """Cache and refresh service account tokens"""
+
+    # Cache service token (avoid repeated requests)
+    cached_token = None
+    token_expires_at = 0
+
+    async def get_fresh_service_token() -> str:
+        nonlocal cached_token, token_expires_at
+
+        now = time.time()
+
+        # Return cached token if still valid (with 5-minute buffer)
+        if cached_token and now < (token_expires_at - 300):
+            return cached_token
+
+        # Request new token
+        token_data = await oauth_client.get_service_account_token()
+
+        cached_token = token_data["access_token"]
+        token_expires_at = now + token_data.get("expires_in", 3600)
+
+        logger.info("Service account token refreshed")
+        return cached_token
+
+    return get_fresh_service_token
+```
+
+#### 5.3 Audit Logging
+```python
+async def audit_log(
+    event: str,
+    user_id: str,
+    resource_type: str,
+    resource_id: str,
+    auth_method: str
+):
+    """Log sync operations for audit trail"""
+
+    await audit_db.execute(
+        "INSERT INTO audit_logs VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)",
+        (
+            int(time.time()),
+            event,  # "index_note", "index_file"
+            user_id,
+            resource_type,
+            resource_id,
+            auth_method,
+            socket.gethostname()
+        )
+    )
+```
+
+### 6. Configuration
+
+#### 6.1 Environment Variables
+```bash
+# OAuth Configuration (Required for Background Sync in OAuth Mode)
+# Requires external OIDC provider with client_credentials support
+OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL=http://keycloak:8080/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+OIDC_CLIENT_ID=nextcloud-mcp-server
+OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=<secure-secret>
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://app:80
+
+# Tier selection is automatic:
+# - Tier 1 (service_account): Always available if client has service account enabled
+# - Tier 2/3 (token_exchange): Used if provider supports RFC 8693 token exchange
+
+# Vector Database
+QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333
+QDRANT_API_KEY=<api-key>
+
+# Sync Configuration
+SYNC_INTERVAL_SECONDS=300
+SYNC_BATCH_SIZE=100
+
+# Note: For BasicAuth mode (single-user), background sync uses NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME/NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD
+# This ADR focuses on OAuth mode only
+```
+
+#### 6.2 Keycloak Configuration (for Token Exchange)
+
+**Client Settings** (`nextcloud-mcp-server`):
+```json
+{
+  "clientId": "nextcloud-mcp-server",
+  "serviceAccountsEnabled": true,
+  "authorizationServicesEnabled": false,
+  "attributes": {
+    "token.exchange.grant.enabled": "true",
+    "client.token.exchange.standard.enabled": "true"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Service Account Roles**:
+- Assign appropriate Nextcloud roles/scopes to the service account
+- Configure token exchange permissions
+
+#### 6.3 Docker Compose
+```yaml
+services:
+  mcp-sync:
+    build: .
+    command: ["python", "-m", "nextcloud_mcp_server.sync_worker"]
+    environment:
+      - NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://app:80
+
+      # External OIDC provider (Keycloak)
+      - OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL=http://keycloak:8080/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration
+      - OIDC_CLIENT_ID=nextcloud-mcp-server
+      - OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=${OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET}
+
+      # Vector database
+      - QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333
+      - QDRANT_API_KEY=${QDRANT_API_KEY}
+    volumes:
+      - sync-data:/app/data  # For OAuth client credential storage
+    depends_on:
+      - app
+      - keycloak
+      - qdrant
+
+volumes:
+  sync-data:  # Persistent storage for encrypted OAuth client credentials
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **OAuth-Native Authentication**
+   - Leverages standard OAuth flows (offline_access, token exchange)
+   - No reliance on admin passwords in production
+   - Compatible with enterprise OIDC providers
+
+2. **User-Level Permissions**
+   - Each user's content indexed with their own credentials
+   - Respects sharing, permissions, and access controls
+   - Full audit trail of which user's token was used
+
+3. **Security**
+   - Tokens encrypted at rest
+   - Short-lived access tokens (refreshed as needed)
+   - Token rotation support
+   - Defense in depth with dual-phase authorization
+
+4. **Flexibility**
+   - Automatic capability detection
+   - Graceful degradation through authentication tiers
+   - Works with varying OIDC provider capabilities
+
+5. **Operational**
+   - Background sync independent of user activity
+   - Efficient batch processing
+   - Clear separation of sync vs request credentials
+
+### Limitations
+
+1. **Complexity**
+   - Multiple authentication paths to maintain
+   - Token storage and encryption infrastructure
+   - More moving parts than simple admin auth
+
+2. **User Experience**
+   - `offline_access` scope may require additional consent
+   - Users must authenticate at least once for indexing
+   - New users not automatically indexed
+
+3. **OIDC Provider Dependency**
+   - Token exchange requires RFC 8693 support (rare)
+   - Refresh token rotation varies by provider
+   - Some providers may not support offline_access
+
+4. **Operational Overhead**
+   - Token database maintenance
+   - Monitoring token expiration
+   - Handling revoked tokens gracefully
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+#### Threat Model
+
+**Threat 1: Token Storage Breach**
+- **Mitigation**: Encryption at rest using Fernet
+- **Mitigation**: Secure key management (secrets manager)
+- **Mitigation**: Minimal token lifetime
+- **Detection**: Audit logs for unusual access patterns
+
+**Threat 2: Token Replay**
+- **Mitigation**: Short-lived access tokens (refreshed frequently)
+- **Mitigation**: Token rotation on each refresh
+- **Mitigation**: Revocation support
+
+**Threat 3: Privilege Escalation**
+- **Mitigation**: Dual-phase authorization (vector DB + Nextcloud API)
+- **Mitigation**: Sync worker uses same scopes as user requests
+- **Mitigation**: Per-user token isolation
+
+**Threat 4: Vector Database Poisoning**
+- **Mitigation**: User requests always verify via Nextcloud API
+- **Mitigation**: Vector DB is cache/accelerator, not source of truth
+- **Mitigation**: Sync operations audited per user
+
+#### Security Best Practices
+
+1. **OAuth Client Secret Management**
+   ```bash
+   # Store in secrets manager (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)
+   # Or use environment variable with restricted permissions
+
+   # For self-hosted: Use encrypted storage
+   # OAuth client credentials stored in SQLite with Fernet encryption
+   # Encryption key: TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable
+
+   # Generate encryption key:
+   python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
+   ```
+
+2. **Service Account Token Lifecycle**
+   - Cache service tokens to minimize requests (with expiry buffer)
+   - Automatically refresh expired tokens
+   - Use short-lived tokens (provider default, typically 1 hour)
+   - Monitor token request rates and failures
+
+3. **Database Permissions (for Client Credential Storage)**
+   ```bash
+   # Restrict database file permissions
+   chmod 600 /app/data/tokens.db
+   chown mcp-server:mcp-server /app/data/tokens.db
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitoring and Alerting**
+   - Alert on token exchange failures
+   - Monitor for unusual access patterns
+   - Track service account token usage
+   - Audit sync operations per user (if delegation supported)
+
+### Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Token Revocation Handling**
+   - Webhook endpoint for token revocation events
+   - Periodic validation of stored tokens
+   - Graceful handling of revoked tokens
+
+2. **Selective Sync**
+   - Allow users to opt-in/opt-out of indexing
+   - Per-content-type sync preferences
+   - Privacy controls for sensitive content
+
+3. **Multi-Tenant Token Storage**
+   - Separate token databases per tenant
+   - Key rotation per tenant
+   - Tenant isolation
+
+4. **Token Lifecycle Management**
+   - Automatic cleanup of expired tokens
+   - Token usage analytics
+   - Token health dashboard
+
+5. **Alternative OAuth Flows**
+   - Device flow for headless sync
+   - Resource owner password credentials (ROPC) as fallback
+   - SAML assertion grants
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Admin BasicAuth Only
+
+**Approach**: Background worker always uses admin credentials
+
+**Pros**:
+- Simple implementation
+- No token storage complexity
+- Works with any authentication backend
+
+**Cons**:
+- Violates principle of least privilege
+- Single powerful credential
+- No per-user audit trail
+- Bypasses OAuth entirely
+
+**Decision**: Rejected for production use; kept as fallback only
+
+### Alternative 2: Client Credentials Grant Only
+
+**Approach**: Service account with broad read permissions
+
+**Pros**:
+- OAuth-native pattern
+- No user token storage
+- Standard OAuth flow
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires client_credentials support (may not be available)
+- Still needs broad cross-user permissions
+- Not well-suited for multi-user indexing
+
+**Decision**: Rejected; token exchange is better fit for multi-user scenario
+
+### Alternative 3: Per-User Access Token Storage
+
+**Approach**: Store user access tokens (not refresh tokens)
+
+**Pros**:
+- Simpler than refresh token flow
+- No token refresh logic needed
+
+**Cons**:
+- Access tokens are short-lived (1-24 hours)
+- Requires frequent re-authentication
+- Poor user experience
+- Sync gaps when tokens expire
+
+**Decision**: Rejected; refresh tokens provide better UX
+
+### Alternative 4: On-Demand Indexing Only
+
+**Approach**: Index content when user searches (no background worker)
+
+**Pros**:
+- Uses user's request token
+- No background auth needed
+- Simpler architecture
+
+**Cons**:
+- Very slow first search
+- Poor user experience
+- Incomplete index
+- Can't pre-compute embeddings
+
+**Decision**: Rejected; background indexing is essential for semantic search
+
+### Alternative 5: Nextcloud App Tokens
+
+**Approach**: Generate app-specific passwords for each user
+
+**Pros**:
+- Nextcloud-native feature
+- User-controlled revocation
+- Scoped per-application
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires user interaction to create
+- May not support programmatic creation
+- Still requires secure storage
+- Not standard OAuth
+
+**Decision**: Rejected; not automatable for background worker

+# Audience Validation Setup
+
+## Overview
+
+This document explains the **separate clients architecture** for Keycloak → MCP Server → Nextcloud integration, following OAuth 2.0 best practices and RFC 8707 (Resource Indicators).
+
+## Architecture: Separate Clients Pattern
+
+```
+Keycloak Realm: nextcloud-mcp
+├── Client: "nextcloud" (Resource Server)
+│   └── Represents Nextcloud as a protected resource
+│   └── Used by user_oidc for bearer token validation
+│   └── Validates tokens with aud="nextcloud"
+│
+└── Client: "nextcloud-mcp-server" (OAuth Client)
+    └── MCP Server uses this to REQUEST tokens
+    └── Issues tokens with aud="nextcloud" (targeting resource)
+    └── Future: aud=["nextcloud", "other-service"]
+
+Token Flow:
+MCP Server (client: nextcloud-mcp-server)
+  ↓ requests token from Keycloak
+Token issued:
+  - aud: "nextcloud"             (intended for Nextcloud resource)
+  - azp: "nextcloud-mcp-server"  (requested by MCP Server)
+  - preferred_username: "admin"  (on behalf of user)
+  ↓ sent to Nextcloud API
+Nextcloud user_oidc (client: nextcloud)
+  ✓ validates aud matches configured client_id
+```
+
+**Key Benefits**:
+- ✅ **Proper OAuth separation**: OAuth client ≠ resource server
+- ✅ **Future extensibility**: MCP Server can request multi-resource tokens
+- ✅ **RFC 8707 compliance**: Audience indicates intended resource
+- ✅ **Clear requester identification**: azp claim identifies MCP Server
+
+## Token Claims
+
+Tokens issued by the `nextcloud-mcp-server` client contain:
+
+- **`aud: "nextcloud"`** - Audience: Token intended for Nextcloud resource server (matches user_oidc client_id)
+- **`azp: "nextcloud-mcp-server"`** - Authorized Party: Identifies MCP Server as the OAuth client that requested the token
+- **`preferred_username: "admin"`** - User identifier (Keycloak uses this for password grant; `sub` for authorization_code grant)
+- **`scope: "openid profile email offline_access"`** - Requested scopes including offline access for background jobs
+
+**How user_oidc Validates**:
+1. SelfEncodedValidator checks: `aud == user_oidc.client_id`?
+   - ✓ "nextcloud" == "nextcloud" → PASS
+2. Fast JWT verification with JWKS (no HTTP call to userinfo endpoint)
+3. User provisioned based on `preferred_username` or `sub` claim
+
+**For Background Jobs**:
+- MCP Server stores encrypted refresh tokens
+- Refreshes access tokens when needed
+- All tokens have `aud: "nextcloud"` → validated by user_oidc
+- No admin credentials required
+
+## Configuration
+
+The configuration requires **two separate clients** in Keycloak:
+
+1. **`nextcloud`** - Resource server client (for user_oidc validation)
+2. **`nextcloud-mcp-server`** - OAuth client (for MCP Server to request tokens)
+
+### 1. Keycloak - Create Resource Server Client
+
+First, create the `nextcloud` client that represents Nextcloud as a resource server:
+
+**Via Keycloak Admin API:**
+
+```bash
+# Get admin token
+ADMIN_TOKEN=$(curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token" \
+  -d "grant_type=password" \
+  -d "client_id=admin-cli" \
+  -d "username=admin" \
+  -d "password=admin" | jq -r '.access_token')
+
+# Create 'nextcloud' resource server client
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/admin/realms/nextcloud-mcp/clients" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "clientId": "nextcloud",
+    "name": "Nextcloud Resource Server",
+    "description": "Resource server for Nextcloud APIs - used by user_oidc for bearer token validation",
+    "enabled": true,
+    "clientAuthenticatorType": "client-secret",
+    "secret": "nextcloud-secret-change-in-production",
+    "bearerOnly": true,
+    "standardFlowEnabled": false,
+    "directAccessGrantsEnabled": false,
+    "serviceAccountsEnabled": false,
+    "publicClient": false
+  }'
+```
+
+**Via Realm Export** (`keycloak/realm-export.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "clients": [
+    {
+      "clientId": "nextcloud",
+      "name": "Nextcloud Resource Server",
+      "enabled": true,
+      "bearerOnly": true,
+      "secret": "nextcloud-secret-change-in-production"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Keycloak - Create OAuth Client with Audience Mapper
+
+Next, create the `nextcloud-mcp-server` client that MCP Server uses to request tokens:
+
+**Via Keycloak Admin API:**
+
+```bash
+# Create 'nextcloud-mcp-server' OAuth client
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/admin/realms/nextcloud-mcp/clients" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "clientId": "nextcloud-mcp-server",
+    "name": "Nextcloud MCP Server",
+    "enabled": true,
+    "clientAuthenticatorType": "client-secret",
+    "secret": "mcp-secret-change-in-production",
+    "standardFlowEnabled": true,
+    "directAccessGrantsEnabled": true,
+    "redirectUris": ["http://localhost:*/callback"]
+  }'
+
+# Get client internal ID
+CLIENT_ID=$(curl "http://localhost:8888/admin/realms/nextcloud-mcp/clients" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" | jq -r '.[] | select(.clientId=="nextcloud-mcp-server") | .id')
+
+# Add audience mapper targeting 'nextcloud' resource
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/admin/realms/nextcloud-mcp/clients/$CLIENT_ID/protocol-mappers/models" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "audience-nextcloud",
+    "protocol": "openid-connect",
+    "protocolMapper": "oidc-audience-mapper",
+    "consentRequired": false,
+    "config": {
+      "included.custom.audience": "nextcloud",
+      "access.token.claim": "true",
+      "id.token.claim": "false"
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+**Option B: Via Realm Export** (for infrastructure-as-code)
+
+Update `keycloak/realm-export.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "clients": [
+    {
+      "clientId": "nextcloud-mcp-server",
+      "name": "Nextcloud MCP Server",
+      "protocolMappers": [
+        {
+          "name": "audience-nextcloud-mcp-server",
+          "protocol": "openid-connect",
+          "protocolMapper": "oidc-audience-mapper",
+          "consentRequired": false,
+          "config": {
+            "included.custom.audience": "nextcloud-mcp-server",
+            "access.token.claim": "true",
+            "id.token.claim": "false"
+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Then re-import realm or restart Keycloak.
+
+**Option C: Via Keycloak Admin UI**
+
+1. Go to Keycloak Admin Console → Realm → Clients → `nextcloud-mcp-server`
+2. Click "Client scopes" tab
+3. Click "Add client scope" → "Create dedicated scope"
+4. Add protocol mapper: "Audience"
+   - Mapper Type: `Audience`
+   - Included Custom Audience: `nextcloud`
+   - Add to access token: ON
+   - Add to ID token: OFF
+
+### 3. Nextcloud user_oidc - Configure Resource Server Client
+
+Configure user_oidc to use the `nextcloud` resource server client:
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec app php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak \
+  --clientid="nextcloud" \
+  --clientsecret="nextcloud-secret-change-in-production" \
+  --discoveryuri="http://keycloak:8080/realms/nextcloud-mcp/.well-known/openid-configuration" \
+  --check-bearer=1 \
+  --bearer-provisioning=1 \
+  --unique-uid=1 \
+  --mapping-uid="sub" \
+  --mapping-display-name="name" \
+  --mapping-email="email"
+```
+
+**Result**: user_oidc validates tokens with `aud="nextcloud"` using SelfEncodedValidator (fast JWT verification).
+
+### 3. Nextcloud user_oidc - Realm-Level Validation
+
+Nextcloud's `user_oidc` app validates at **realm level** via userinfo endpoint:
+
+- ✅ **No configuration needed** - works automatically
+- ✅ Validates any token from Keycloak realm
+- ✅ Audience check is **optional** (disabled by default)
+
+**Optional: Disable strict audience checking** (if enabled):
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec app php occ config:app:set user_oidc \
+  selfencoded_bearer_validation_audience_check --value=false --type=boolean
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+### 1. Check Token Claims
+
+```bash
+# Get token from Keycloak
+TOKEN=$(curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/realms/nextcloud-mcp/protocol/openid-connect/token" \

+```
+
+## Token Flow Example
+
+### Successful Request (Background Job)
+
+```
+1. User authorizes MCP Client via OAuth
+   └─ MCP Server gets refresh token (stored encrypted)
+
+2. Background worker needs to sync data
+   └─ MCP Server refreshes access token from Keycloak
+   └─ Token issued with aud: "nextcloud", azp: "nextcloud-mcp-server"
+
+3. MCP Server → Nextcloud API (with token)
+   └─ user_oidc validates via userinfo endpoint ✓
+   └─ Nextcloud identifies:
+       - Token intended for Nextcloud (aud: "nextcloud")
+       - Request from MCP Server (azp: "nextcloud-mcp-server")
+       - On behalf of user (sub: "user-id")
+
+4. Success! MCP Server can act on behalf of user in background.
+```
+
+### Rejected Request
+
+```
+1. Attacker gets token for different client
+   └─ Token has aud: "other-service"
+
+2. Attacker → Nextcloud API (with wrong token)
+   └─ user_oidc validates via userinfo endpoint
+   └─ Token validation fails (invalid/expired/wrong realm)
+   └─ HTTP 401 Unauthorized
+
+3. Request blocked - token not valid for this realm/service
+```
+
+## OAuth Flows and User Consent
+
+### When Does the User Grant Consent?
+
+User consent happens during the **Authorization Code Flow** (production OAuth):
+
+```
+1. User clicks "Connect" in MCP Client (e.g., Claude Desktop)
+2. MCP Client initiates OAuth flow by opening browser to Keycloak:
+   https://keycloak/realms/nextcloud-mcp/protocol/openid-connect/auth?
+     client_id=nextcloud-mcp-server&
+     redirect_uri=<mcp-client-redirect-uri>&
+     response_type=code&
+     scope=openid profile email offline_access
+
+3. Keycloak shows login screen (if not logged in)
+4. **Keycloak shows consent screen:**
+   "Nextcloud MCP Server wants to access your Nextcloud data on your behalf"
+   Requested permissions:
+   - Access your profile (openid, profile, email)
+   - Offline access (background operations with refresh tokens)
+
+5. User clicks "Allow" → grants consent
+6. Keycloak redirects back to MCP Client with authorization code
+7. MCP Client exchanges code for tokens (receives access + refresh tokens)
+8. MCP Client shares tokens with MCP Server via MCP protocol
+9. MCP Server stores refresh token encrypted for background operations
+```
+
+**Key Architecture Notes:**
+- **MCP Server is a protected resource** (requires OAuth to access)
+- **MCP Client** (Claude Desktop) is the OAuth client that initiates the flow
+- **MCP Client handles the redirect** and token exchange with Keycloak
+- **MCP Client shares refresh token** with MCP Server so it can act on behalf of user in background
+
+**Key Points:**
+- ✅ **Explicit user consent** before any access
+- ✅ **Scopes displayed** so user knows what's being requested
+- ✅ **Offline access** must be explicitly granted (for background jobs)
+- ✅ **Revocable** - user can revoke consent in Keycloak at any time
+
+### Grant Types
+
+Our architecture supports multiple OAuth grant types:
+
+**1. Authorization Code + PKCE (Production)**
+```
+Use case: Interactive login from MCP clients
+Consent: Yes - explicit user authorization
+Tokens: Access token + Refresh token (if offline_access granted)
+Security: PKCE prevents authorization code interception
+```
+
+**2. Password Grant (Testing Only)**
+```
+Use case: Integration testing with docker-compose
+Consent: No - username/password provided directly
+Tokens: Access token + Refresh token
+Security: NOT for production - exposes user credentials
+```
+
+**3. Refresh Token Grant (Background Jobs)**
+```
+Use case: MCP Server refreshing expired access tokens
+Consent: No new consent - uses previously granted refresh token
+Tokens: New access token (refresh token may rotate)
+Security: Refresh tokens stored encrypted, rotated on use
+```
+
+## Authentication Strategies for Background Jobs
+
+> **Note on Service Account Tokens**: Service account tokens (`client_credentials` grant) were evaluated but **rejected** as they create Nextcloud user accounts (e.g., `service-account-{client_id}`) which violates OAuth "act on-behalf-of" principles. See ADR-002 "Will Not Implement" section for details.
+
+### Current Approach: Offline Access with Refresh Tokens
+
+The MCP server uses **offline_access** scope to enable background operations:
+
+**How it works:**
+1. User grants `offline_access` scope during OAuth consent
+2. MCP Client receives refresh token from Keycloak
+3. MCP Client shares refresh token with MCP Server via MCP protocol
+4. MCP Server stores refresh token encrypted (see ADR-002)
+5. Background jobs exchange refresh token for fresh access tokens as needed
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Works today with Keycloak and all OIDC providers
+- ✅ Standard OAuth pattern (RFC 6749)
+- ✅ Explicit user consent to `offline_access` scope
+- ✅ MCP Server can act on behalf of user in background
+
+**Limitations:**
+- ⚠️ Requires secure token storage on MCP Server
+- ⚠️ MCP Client must trust MCP Server with refresh token
+- ⚠️ Weak audit trail - API requests appear to come from user directly
+- ⚠️ No visibility that MCP Server is the actual actor
+
+### Token Exchange with Delegation (ADR-002 Tier 2 - Implemented)
+
+**RFC 8693 Delegation** would provide better audit trail and security:
+
+**How it would work:**
+1. User grants `may_act:nextcloud-mcp-server` scope during authentication
+2. Subject token includes: `{ "may_act": { "client": "nextcloud-mcp-server" } }`
+3. MCP Server has its own service account token (actor_token)
+4. Background job requests token exchange:
+   - `subject_token` (user's token with may_act claim)
+   - `actor_token` (mcp-server's service token)
+5. Keycloak validates actor matches may_act claim
+6. Returns delegated token: `{ "sub": "user", "act": "nextcloud-mcp-server" }`
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Better audit trail - Nextcloud APIs see both user and actor
+- ✅ No token storage needed (tokens generated on-demand)
+- ✅ Fine-grained permissions via `may_act` claim
+- ✅ User explicitly consents to MCP Server acting on their behalf
+- ✅ RFC 8693 compliant
+
+**Current Status:**
+- ❌ **NOT implemented in Keycloak yet** ([Issue #38279](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/38279))
+- ❌ Would require custom implementation or waiting for upstream
+- 📝 Proposal includes `act` claim and `may_act` consent mechanism
+
+**Why Not Available:**
+- Keycloak supports **impersonation** (changes `sub` claim), but not **delegation** (`act` claim)
+- Impersonation has poor audit trail (actor invisible)
+- Delegation proposal is open but not implemented yet
+
+**Reference:** See `docs/ADR-002-vector-sync-authentication.md` for detailed comparison of authentication tiers.
+
+## Security Benefits
+
+1. **Intent Validation**: Tokens explicitly declare Nextcloud as the intended recipient via `aud` claim
+2. **Requester Identification**: The `azp` claim identifies MCP Server as the requester
+3. **User Context**: The `sub` claim preserves user identity for audit and authorization
+4. **Background Jobs**: Refresh tokens enable MCP Server to act on behalf of users without admin credentials
+5. **OAuth Standards**: Follows RFC 8707 (Resource Indicators) and RFC 6749 (OAuth 2.0)
+
+**Current Limitations:**
+- API requests from background jobs appear to come from user directly (no `act` claim yet)
+- See "Authentication Strategies for Background Jobs" section for future delegation support
+
+## Token Claims
+
+### Key Claims
+
+- **`aud: "nextcloud"`** - Audience: Token intended for Nextcloud APIs
+- **`azp: "nextcloud-mcp-server"`** - Authorized Party: MCP Server requested the token
+- **`sub: "user-id"`** - Subject: User on whose behalf the request is made
+- **`scope: "openid profile email offline_access"`** - Requested scopes including offline access for background jobs
+
+### Client Naming
+
+The Keycloak client is named `nextcloud-mcp-server` to clarify:
+- **MCP Server** uses this client to get tokens for Nextcloud
+- **MCP Clients** (like Claude Desktop) connect to MCP Server via separate OAuth flows
+- **Not** named "mcp-client" to avoid confusion about which component is the client
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Token Has No Audience
+
+**Symptom**: `"aud": null` in decoded JWT
+
+**Cause**: Protocol mappers not configured
+
+**Solution**: Add audience mappers via Keycloak Admin API (see Configuration section)
+
+### MCP Server Rejects Token
+
+**Symptom**: HTTP 401 with "JWT validation failed"
+
+**Cause**: Token audience doesn't match expected value
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check token has correct `aud` claim
+2. Verify MCP server expects correct audience value in code
+3. Check logs for specific JWT validation error
+
+### Nextcloud Rejects Token
+
+**Symptom**: HTTP 401 from Nextcloud API
+
+**Cause**: User not provisioned or token invalid
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check user_oidc provider is configured: `php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak`
+2. Check bearer validation enabled: `--check-bearer=1`
+3. Test token with userinfo endpoint: `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://keycloak/realms/.../userinfo`

+# Keycloak Multi-Client Token Validation
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Question**: Can Nextcloud's `user_oidc` app (configured with client A) validate bearer tokens from client B in the same Keycloak realm?
+
+**Answer**: ✅ **YES** - user_oidc validates tokens at the **realm level**, not per-client.
+
+## Test Results
+
+### Setup
+- **Keycloak Realm**: `nextcloud-mcp`
+- **Provider in user_oidc**: Configured with `mcp-client` credentials
+- **Test**: Get token from `test-client-b`, validate via Nextcloud API
+
+### Result
+```bash
+# Token from test-client-b (client B)
+$ TOKEN=$(curl -X POST ".../token" -d "client_id=test-client-b" ...)
+
+# Validated successfully by Nextcloud (configured with mcp-client = client A)
+$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "http://nextcloud/ocs/.../capabilities"
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+{"ocs":{"meta":{"status":"ok"}}}
+```
+
+✅ **Token from client B validated successfully!**
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Token Structure from Keycloak
+
+**Access Token** (password grant):
+```json
+{
+  "iss": "http://keycloak/realms/nextcloud-mcp",
+  "azp": "test-client-b",           // Authorized party = client B
+  "typ": "Bearer",
+  "exp": 1234567890,
+  // NO "sub" claim
+  // NO "aud" claim
+  "scope": "openid profile email"
+}
+```
+
+**ID Token** (for comparison):
+```json
+{
+  "iss": "http://keycloak/realms/nextcloud-mcp",
+  "aud": "test-client-b",            // Audience = client B
+  "sub": "923da741-7ebe-4cf9-baf2-37fcf2ecc95d",
+  "azp": "test-client-b"
+}
+```
+
+**Key Observation**: Access tokens from Keycloak's password grant **do not contain** `sub` or `aud` claims!
+
+### Validation Flow in user_oidc
+
+From source code analysis (`~/Software/user_oidc/lib/User/Backend.php`):
+
+```
+1. Request with Bearer token arrives
+   ↓
+2. user_oidc loops through providers with checkBearer=true
+   ↓
+3. Try SelfEncodedValidator (JWT/JWKS validation):
+   - Validates JWT signature using Keycloak's JWKS
+   - Tries to extract 'sub' claim → FAILS (no sub in access token)
+   ↓
+4. Fallback to UserInfoValidator:
+   - Calls Keycloak userinfo endpoint with bearer token
+   - Keycloak validates token server-side
+   - Returns userinfo with 'sub' claim
+   → SUCCESS!
+   ↓
+5. User identified, request authorized
+```
+
+### Why This Works
+
+**Realm-Level Trust**:
+- Keycloak's userinfo endpoint validates ANY valid token from the realm
+- It doesn't matter which client issued the token
+- The token is validated by Keycloak itself (via userinfo call)
+
+**No Audience Check**:
+- Access tokens have no `aud` claim
+- SelfEncodedValidator's audience check is bypassed (no audience to validate)
+- UserInfoValidator doesn't check audience (delegates to Keycloak)
+
+**Client Credentials Role**:
+- The configured `client_id`/`client_secret` in user_oidc are **NOT used** for bearer token validation
+- They're only used for OAuth login flows (authorization code exchange)
+- Userinfo endpoint doesn't require client authentication
+
+## Source Code Evidence
+
+### SelfEncodedValidator - Audience Check
+
+```php
+// ~/Software/user_oidc/lib/User/Validator/SelfEncodedValidator.php:64-76
+
+$checkAudience = !isset($oidcSystemConfig['selfencoded_bearer_validation_audience_check'])
+    || !in_array($oidcSystemConfig['selfencoded_bearer_validation_audience_check'],
+         [false, 'false', 0, '0'], true);
+
+if ($checkAudience) {
+    $tokenAudience = $payload->aud ?? null;
+
+    if ((is_string($tokenAudience) && $tokenAudience !== $providerClientId)
+        || (is_array($tokenAudience) && !in_array($providerClientId, $tokenAudience))) {
+        $this->logger->debug('Audience does not match client ID');
+        return null;  // REJECT
+    }
+}
+
+// If $tokenAudience is null (our case), both conditions are false → validation continues
+```
+
+### UserInfoValidator - No Client Auth
+
+```php
+// ~/Software/user_oidc/lib/Service/OIDCService.php:28-45
+
+public function userinfo(Provider $provider, string $accessToken): array {
+    $url = $this->discoveryService->obtainDiscovery($provider)['userinfo_endpoint'];
+
+    // Bearer token passed directly - NO client credentials used
+    $options = ['headers' => ['Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $accessToken]];
+
+    return json_decode($this->clientService->get($url, [], $options), true);
+}
+```
+
+### Keycloak Userinfo Response
+
+```bash
+$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN_FROM_CLIENT_B" \
+    "http://keycloak/realms/nextcloud-mcp/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo"
+
+{
+  "sub": "923da741-7ebe-4cf9-baf2-37fcf2ecc95d",
+  "email_verified": true,
+  "name": "Admin User",
+  "email": "admin@example.com"
+}
+```
+
+Keycloak validates the token **regardless of which client issued it**, as long as it's from the same realm.
+
+## Implications for Your Architecture
+
+### Desired Architecture
+```
+MCP Server (client A) ← DCR with Keycloak
+MCP Clients (client B, C, D...) ← DCR with Keycloak
+Nextcloud user_oidc ← configured once with any client from realm
+```
+
+### What This Means
+
+✅ **You can do exactly what you want!**
+
+1. **Configure user_oidc once** with any client from the Keycloak realm (e.g., a dedicated `nextcloud-validator` client)
+
+2. **MCP Server registers via DCR** as a unique client (e.g., `mcp-server-abc123`)
+   - Gets its own client credentials
+   - Issues tokens with `azp: "mcp-server-abc123"`
+   - These tokens will be validated by user_oidc!
+
+3. **MCP Clients also use DCR** (each gets unique identity)
+   - Client A: `client-123`
+   - Client B: `client-456`
+   - Tokens from all clients validated by user_oidc!
+
+4. **Tokens from ANY client** in the realm can access Nextcloud APIs
+   - user_oidc validates via Keycloak userinfo endpoint
+   - Realm-level trust (not per-client)
+
+### Configuration
+
+**Step 1: Configure user_oidc Provider**
+```bash
+php occ user_oidc:provider keycloak-realm \
+    --clientid="nextcloud-validator" \
+    --clientsecret="***" \
+    --discoveryuri="https://keycloak/realms/my-realm/.well-known/openid-configuration" \
+    --check-bearer=1 \
+    --bearer-provisioning=1
+```
+
+**Step 2: MCP Server Registers with Keycloak (DCR)**
+```python
+# MCP server startup
+registration_response = await keycloak_client.register_client(
+    client_name="MCP Server Instance",
+    redirect_uris=["http://mcp-server/oauth/callback"]
+)
+# Store: client_id, client_secret
+```
+
+**Step 3: Issue Tokens to Users**
+- Users authenticate via Keycloak
+- MCP server gets tokens issued to its `client_id`
+- These tokens validated by user_oidc!
+
+**Step 4: Background Operations (ADR-002)**
+- Store user refresh tokens (encrypted)
+- Refresh access tokens as needed
+- All tokens validated by user_oidc regardless of issuing client
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Token Grant Types Matter
+
+**Password Grant** (what we tested):
+- Access tokens have NO `sub` or `aud`
+- Forces validation via userinfo endpoint
+- Works with any client in realm
+
+**Authorization Code Grant** (production):
+- Tokens MAY include `aud` claim
+- Need to verify behavior with real OAuth flows
+- May require disabling audience check
+
+### Recommendation for Production
+
+**Option 1: Disable Audience Check (Simplest)**
+```php
+// config.php
+'user_oidc' => [
+    'selfencoded_bearer_validation_audience_check' => false,
+],
+```
+
+**Option 2: Rely on UserInfo Validation**
+```php
+// config.php
+'user_oidc' => [
+    'userinfo_bearer_validation' => true,  // Enable userinfo validation
+],
+```
+
+**Option 3: Configure Keycloak to Not Include aud in Access Tokens**
+- Keep default behavior (works as tested)
+- Tokens validated via userinfo endpoint
+
+## Testing Script
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Test multi-client validation
+
+# Create second client in Keycloak
+curl -X POST "http://keycloak/admin/realms/my-realm/clients" \
+    -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+    -d '{
+        "clientId": "test-client-b",
+        "secret": "test-secret-b",
+        "standardFlowEnabled": true,
+        "directAccessGrantsEnabled": true
+    }'
+
+# Get token from client B
+TOKEN=$(curl -X POST "http://keycloak/realms/my-realm/protocol/openid-connect/token" \
+    -d "grant_type=password" \
+    -d "client_id=test-client-b" \
+    -d "client_secret=test-secret-b" \
+    -d "username=testuser" \
+    -d "password=password" | jq -r '.access_token')
+
+# Test with Nextcloud (configured with client A)
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+    "http://nextcloud/ocs/v2.php/cloud/capabilities"
+
+# Should return 200 OK!
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+✅ **Your proposed architecture is fully supported!**
+
+- user_oidc configured once with ANY client from Keycloak realm
+- MCP server registers dynamically via DCR
+- MCP clients also register dynamically
+- ALL tokens from realm validated successfully
+- No per-client configuration needed
+
+The key insight: **user_oidc validates tokens at the realm level** (via Keycloak's userinfo endpoint), not at the client level.

+# OAuth Impersonation Investigation Findings
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-02
+**Last Updated**: 2025-11-02 (Token Exchange Resolution)
+**Status**: Implementation Complete - Token Exchange Working
+**Conclusion**: Keycloak Standard Token Exchange (RFC 8693) working for internal-to-internal token exchange. User impersonation requires Legacy V1.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE (2025-11-02)
+
+**This document contains outdated information regarding service account tokens.**
+
+After implementation and testing, we discovered that service account tokens (`client_credentials` grant) **violate OAuth "act on-behalf-of" principles** by creating Nextcloud user accounts (e.g., `service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server`). This approach has been **REJECTED** and moved to ADR-002's "Will Not Implement" section.
+
+**Key Changes:**
+- ❌ **Service account tokens (client_credentials) are INVALID** - Creates user accounts, breaks audit trail
+- ✅ **Token exchange (RFC 8693) is the correct approach** - Implemented and working (ADR-002 Tier 2)
+- ✅ **Offline access with refresh tokens** - Still valid for background operations (ADR-002 primary approach)
+
+**For current architecture, see**: `docs/ADR-002-vector-sync-authentication.md`
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+We investigated options for implementing user impersonation to enable background operations without requiring admin credentials (ADR-002 Tier 2). Here are the findings:
+
+## 1. Keycloak Token Exchange (RFC 8693)
+
+### What We Implemented
+- ✅ Service account token acquisition (`client_credentials` grant)
+- ✅ `get_service_account_token()` method in `KeycloakOAuthClient`
+- ✅ `exchange_token_for_user()` method implementing RFC 8693
+- ✅ Token exchange configuration in Keycloak realm
+
+### What Works ✅
+**Keycloak Standard V2 Token Exchange (RFC 8693) is WORKING**:
+- ✅ Service account token acquisition via `client_credentials` grant
+- ✅ Token exchange for internal-to-internal tokens
+- ✅ Audience and scope modifications
+- ✅ Integration with Nextcloud APIs using exchanged tokens
+
+**Configuration Requirements**:
+To enable Standard Token Exchange in Keycloak 26.2+, add to client attributes in `realm-export.json`:
+```json
+"attributes": {
+  "token.exchange.grant.enabled": "true",
+  "client.token.exchange.standard.enabled": "true"
+}
+```
+
+### Limitations
+Keycloak Standard V2 does NOT support:
+- ❌ User impersonation (`requested_subject` parameter)
+- ❌ Cross-client delegation (limited to same realm)
+
+These features require Legacy V1 with `--features=preview`
+
+### Alternative: Keycloak Legacy V1
+Keycloak Legacy Token Exchange (V1) WOULD support user impersonation, but:
+- ❌ Requires `--features=preview --features=token-exchange` flag
+- ❌ Not suitable for production
+- ❌ Deprecated and being phased out
+
+**Decision**: Not viable for production use.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Nextcloud OIDC App Token Exchange
+
+### Discovery Endpoint Analysis
+```json
+{
+  "grant_types_supported": [
+    "authorization_code",
+    "implicit"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Findings
+❌ **Nextcloud OIDC app does NOT support**:
+- RFC 8693 token exchange
+- `client_credentials` grant
+- `refresh_token` grant (refresh tokens not issued)
+- User impersonation APIs
+
+The Nextcloud OIDC app is a basic OAuth 2.0 provider focused on:
+- Authorization code flow for user login
+- JWT tokens for API access
+- Scope-based authorization
+
+It is NOT designed for:
+- Service accounts
+- Token delegation
+- Background operations
+
+**Decision**: Not viable - missing required grant types.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Nextcloud Impersonate App
+
+### What It Provides
+✅ Admin users can impersonate other users via:
+- UI: Settings → Users → Impersonate button
+- API: `POST /apps/impersonate/user` with `userId` parameter
+
+### How It Works
+```php
+// From SettingsController.php
+public function impersonate(string $userId): JSONResponse {
+    // 1. Verify admin/delegated admin permissions
+    // 2. Check target user has logged in before
+    // 3. Set session: $this->userSession->setUser($impersonatee)
+    // 4. Return success
+}
+```
+
+### Requirements
+- ✅ Admin credentials
+- ✅ Session-based authentication (cookies)
+- ✅ CSRF token
+- ✅ Target user must have logged in at least once
+- ❌ Not compatible with encryption-enabled instances
+
+### Limitations for Background Workers
+❌ **Session-based, not stateless**:
+- Requires maintaining HTTP session/cookies
+- Not suitable for distributed workers
+- Can't use with bearer tokens
+- Requires re-authentication periodically
+
+❌ **Security concerns**:
+- Requires admin credentials stored on server
+- All impersonated actions logged as target user
+- Violates principle of least privilege
+
+**Decision**: Not suitable for background operations - session-based architecture incompatible with stateless OAuth/bearer token model.
+
+---
+
+## 4. What Actually Works
+
+### Option A: Admin Credentials (Current Implementation)
+✅ **BasicAuth mode with admin account**:
+```python
+client = NextcloudClient.from_env()  # Uses NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME/PASSWORD
+# Can access all APIs with admin permissions
+```
+
+**Pros**:
+- Simple, works immediately
+- Full access to all APIs
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires admin credentials stored on server
+- No per-user permission scoping
+- Security risk if credentials leaked
+- Violates ADR-002 goals
+
+**Status**: Available but not recommended for production.
+
+### Option B: Service Account with Scoped Permissions
+✅ **Create dedicated service account**:
+1. Create `mcp-sync` user in Nextcloud
+2. Grant specific permissions (group memberships, shares)
+3. Use those credentials for background operations
+
+**Pros**:
+- Dedicated account, easier to audit
+- Can limit permissions via Nextcloud groups
+- Works with current BasicAuth implementation
+
+**Cons**:
+- Still requires credentials storage
+- Can't truly act "as" individual users
+- Limited by Nextcloud's permission model
+
+**Status**: Best available option without OAuth delegation.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Recommendations
+
+### Short Term (Immediate)
+**Use Service Account Pattern**:
+```python
+# Background worker configuration
+SYNC_ACCOUNT_USERNAME=mcp-sync
+SYNC_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD=<secure-password>
+
+# Create service account with limited permissions
+docker compose exec app php occ user:add mcp-sync
+docker compose exec app php occ group:adduser <appropriate-group> mcp-sync
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Works with existing implementation
+- Better than admin credentials
+- Auditable
+
+### Medium Term (If OAuth Delegation Required)
+**Wait for proper standards support**:
+- Monitor Keycloak for Standard V2 improvements
+- Contribute to/request Nextcloud OIDC app enhancements
+- Consider alternative identity providers (e.g., Authelia, Authentik)
+
+### Long Term (Ideal Solution)
+**Implement proper OAuth delegation**:
+1. Use identity provider that supports RFC 8693 properly (e.g., Auth0, Okta)
+2. Or implement custom delegation endpoint in Nextcloud
+3. Or propose MCP protocol extension for refresh token sharing
+
+---
+
+## 6. Updated ADR-002 Status
+
+| Tier | Solution | Status | Viability |
+|------|----------|--------|-----------|
+| **Tier 0** | Admin BasicAuth | ✅ Implemented | ⚠️ Works but not recommended |
+| **Tier 1** | Offline Access (Refresh Tokens) | ⚠️ Infrastructure ready | ❌ MCP protocol limitation |
+| **Tier 2** | Token Exchange (RFC 8693) | ✅ **WORKING** | ✅ **Internal token exchange functional** |
+| **Tier 3** | Service Account (NEW) | ✅ Available | ✅ **RECOMMENDED for background ops** |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Implementation Status
+
+### What Was Built
+1. ✅ `RefreshTokenStorage` - SQLite + encryption (ready for future use)
+2. ✅ `KeycloakOAuthClient.get_service_account_token()` - Works
+3. ✅ `KeycloakOAuthClient.exchange_token_for_user()` - Implemented but non-functional
+4. ✅ Token exchange configuration - Keycloak realm updated
+5. ✅ Test scripts - Comprehensive testing completed
+
+### What to Use
+**For Background Operations**:
+```python
+# Use service account with BasicAuth
+from nextcloud_mcp_server.client import NextcloudClient
+
+# In background worker
+sync_client = NextcloudClient(
+    base_url=os.getenv("NEXTCLOUD_HOST"),
+    username=os.getenv("SYNC_ACCOUNT_USERNAME"),
+    password=os.getenv("SYNC_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD"),
+)
+
+# Perform operations
+notes = await sync_client.notes.search_notes("important")
+# Index to vector database, etc.
+```
+
+**For User Requests**:
+```python
+# Continue using OAuth bearer tokens
+# Per-request client creation as currently implemented
+client = get_client_from_context(ctx, nextcloud_host)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Files Modified/Created
+
+### Implementation
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/keycloak_oauth.py` - Token exchange methods
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/refresh_token_storage.py` - Token storage (ready for future)
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py` - OAuth configuration updates
+- `keycloak/realm-export.json` - Token exchange enabled
+- `pyproject.toml` - Added aiosqlite dependency
+
+### Documentation
+- `docs/oauth-impersonation-findings.md` - This document
+- `docs/ADR-002-vector-sync-authentication.md` - Original architecture decision
+
+### Tests
+- `tests/manual/test_token_exchange.py` - Keycloak RFC 8693 testing
+- `tests/manual/test_nextcloud_impersonate.py` - Nextcloud impersonate API testing
+
+---
+
+## 9. Conclusion
+
+**Neither Keycloak nor Nextcloud currently provide viable OAuth-based user impersonation for background operations.**
+
+The infrastructure is ready (token storage, exchange methods), but provider limitations prevent use.
+
+**Recommended approach**: Use dedicated service account with appropriate Nextcloud permissions for background operations until proper OAuth delegation becomes available.
+
+The implemented code remains valuable:
+- Ready for future when providers add support
+- Demonstrates proper OAuth patterns
+- Test infrastructure for validation
+
+---
+
+## Appendix: Technical Details
+
+### Keycloak Configuration Applied
+```json
+{
+  "clientId": "nextcloud-mcp-server",
+  "serviceAccountsEnabled": true,
+  "attributes": {
+    "token.exchange.grant.enabled": "true"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Results - UPDATED (2025-11-02)
+```
+✅ Service account token acquisition: WORKS
+✅ Token exchange discovery: SUPPORTED
+✅ Token exchange configuration: ENABLED
+✅ Actual token exchange: WORKS (after adding client.token.exchange.standard.enabled)
+✅ Nextcloud API access: WORKS with exchanged tokens
+```
+
+**Resolution**: The realm-export.json was missing the `client.token.exchange.standard.enabled` attribute. After adding this attribute to keycloak/realm-export.json:128, token exchange works correctly on fresh Keycloak imports.
+
+### Nextcloud Impersonate Results
+```
+✓ App installation: SUCCESS
+✓ Admin can impersonate: YES (session-based)
+✗ Bearer token impersonate: NO (requires session cookies)
+✗ Stateless impersonate: NOT AVAILABLE
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Token Exchange Resolution (2025-11-02)
+
+### Problem
+Initial token exchange implementation was failing with:
+```
+"Standard token exchange is not enabled for the requested client"
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+The `realm-export.json` was missing a critical attribute for Keycloak 26.2+ Standard Token Exchange:
+- Had: `"token.exchange.grant.enabled": "true"` ✓
+- Missing: `"client.token.exchange.standard.enabled": "true"` ❌
+
+### Fix Applied
+Updated `keycloak/realm-export.json` at line 128 to include both attributes:
+```json
+"attributes": {
+  "pkce.code.challenge.method": "S256",
+  "use.refresh.tokens": "true",
+  "backchannel.logout.session.required": "true",
+  "backchannel.logout.url": "http://app:80/index.php/apps/user_oidc/backchannel-logout/keycloak",
+  "oauth2.device.authorization.grant.enabled": "false",
+  "oidc.ciba.grant.enabled": "false",
+  "client_credentials.use_refresh_token": "false",
+  "display.on.consent.screen": "false",
+  "token.exchange.grant.enabled": "true",
+  "client.token.exchange.standard.enabled": "true"  // ADDED
+}
+```
+
+### Verification
+After recreating Keycloak with fresh realm import:
+```bash
+$ docker compose down -v keycloak && docker compose up -d keycloak
+$ uv run python tests/manual/test_token_exchange.py
+✅ Token Exchange Test PASSED
+```
+
+### Current Status
+- ✅ RFC 8693 Token Exchange fully functional
+- ✅ Service account token acquisition works
+- ✅ Token exchange for internal tokens works
+- ✅ Exchanged tokens validate with Nextcloud APIs
+- ✅ Realm import automatically applies correct configuration
+- ⚠️ User impersonation still requires Keycloak Legacy V1
+
+### Files Modified
+- `keycloak/realm-export.json` - Added `client.token.exchange.standard.enabled` attribute
+- `docs/oauth-impersonation-findings.md` - Updated with resolution
+
+### Testing
+Run the complete token exchange flow:
+```bash
+uv run python tests/manual/test_token_exchange.py
+```

-### Issue: "Permission denied" when reading/writing OAuth client credentials file
+### Issue: "Permission denied" or "Database is locked" when accessing OAuth client storage
 
-**Cause:** The server cannot access the OAuth client storage file (default: `.nextcloud_oauth_client.json`).
+**Cause:** The server cannot access the SQLite database for OAuth client credentials storage.
 
 **Solution:**
 
 ```bash
-# Check file permissions
-ls -la .nextcloud_oauth_client.json
+# Check database directory permissions
+ls -la data/
 
-# Fix file permissions (should be 0600 - owner read/write only)
-chmod 600 .nextcloud_oauth_client.json
+# Ensure directory is writable
+chmod 755 data/
 
-# Ensure the directory is writable
-chmod 755 $(dirname .nextcloud_oauth_client.json)
+# Check if database file exists and has correct permissions
+ls -la data/tokens.db
+chmod 644 data/tokens.db
 
-# If the file doesn't exist, ensure the directory is writable so it can be created
-mkdir -p $(dirname .nextcloud_oauth_client.json)
+# For Docker deployments, ensure volume is mounted correctly:
+# docker-compose.yml should have:
+#   volumes:
+#     - ./data:/app/data
 ```

+
+This is the RECOMMENDED approach for most use cases.

+- Keycloak container running (can be Standard V2 or Legacy V1)

+Manual test for RFC 8693 Token Exchange with USER IMPERSONATION.
+
+This script tests whether Keycloak actually supports the requested_subject
+parameter for user impersonation, as claimed in ADR-002 to be unsupported.
+
+Test procedure:
+1. Get service account token (client_credentials grant)
+2. Attempt to exchange token WITH requested_subject parameter
+3. Observe actual behavior (success or error)
+4. Decode resulting token to verify sub claim
+
+Usage:
