Summary of Changes

Hello @havetisyan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request integrates OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange capabilities, allowing principals to request tokens on behalf of other principals (impersonation) or to delegate their authority (delegation). The changes span client-side request building, core token object enhancements for new claims, and extensive server-side logic to process, validate, and authorize these complex token exchange scenarios, ensuring secure and flexible access management.

Highlights

  • OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange Support: Introduced comprehensive support for OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange, enabling both delegation and impersonation workflows within the system.
  • Actor and May Act Claims: Enhanced AccessToken and OAuth2Token classes to properly handle and validate act (actor) and may_act (may act on behalf of) claims, which are central to delegation and impersonation.
  • Multiple OAuth2 Issuers: Modified the token configuration to support a set of valid OAuth2 issuers, providing greater flexibility and compatibility.
  • Client-Side Actor Specification: Updated the OAuthTokenRequestBuilder and the zts-accesstoken.go utility to allow clients to specify an actor in token exchange requests.
  • Server-Side Logic for Delegation/Impersonation: Implemented distinct server-side processing for impersonation (subject token only) and delegation (subject token with actor token) requests, including robust validation and authorization checks.

Code Review

This pull request introduces significant new functionality by adding support for delegation and impersonation token exchange requests, aligning with RFC 8693. The changes are well-implemented across OAuthToken, AccessToken, and ZTSImpl. The refactoring to support multiple issuers using a predicate is a clean approach. The core logic for handling impersonation and delegation, including the construction of the act claim, appears correct and robust. The accompanying tests are thorough, covering both success and failure scenarios for the new features. I have a couple of minor suggestions to enhance code clarity and maintainability.
