dsh-cloudflare-access

简体中文

Cloudflare Access JWT verification and remote privileged authorization for DeepSeek Harness.

This is a dual-face Profile Bundle + Web Client plugin. It does not replace Cloudflare Access. Identity stays in Access. The plugin re-validates Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion at the DSH Origin so Settings, Credentials, Agent Preset management, and model discovery can work from a remote hostname such as https://dsh.example.com.

It does not ship a login page, password store, MFA, session table, or Cloudflare API client.

Plugin 2.0.x targets DeepSeek Harness 0.1.5-alpha.1. Plugin 1.0.x is the line before DSH 0.1.2 (live-tested on 0.1.1-rc.2). Do not assume other DSH releases work until the compatibility matrix is updated.

Architecture

The plugin sits inside the DSH process. It does not replace Cloudflare Access or the Origin allowlist.

Internet → Cloudflare Access → Cloudflare Proxy
       → Origin allowlist → reverse proxy → DSH → this plugin

The Web client only enables capability (connection.isLoopback). Authorization stays on the Origin server.

Quick start

1. Use a DeepSeek Harness Web profile. Pin --trusted-host to the public hostname.
2. Put that origin behind a Cloudflare Access application.
3. Install and restart:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-cloudflare-access

4. Lock the trust root (recommended in production):

export DSH_CF_ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN=https://example.cloudflareaccess.com
export DSH_CF_ACCESS_AUDIENCES=your-access-application-aud

5. Open the site through Access and hard-refresh once, then load Settings. A valid Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion at Origin replaces DSH's launch-token cookie for remote Hosts. Loopback still needs the ?token= URL printed by dsh web.

Confirm the bundle with dsh --profile web --dump-config: a layer named dsh-cloudflare-access and a plugin row id: cloudflare-access.

Security model

Remote privileged requests must pass both:

1. DSH Host / Origin / sec-fetch-site checks (--trusted-host remains mandatory).
2. A valid Cloudflare Access JWT (signature, iss, aud, expiry; about 30 seconds of clock skew is allowed).

A valid JWT never authorizes an arbitrary Host or Origin. Loopback (localhost / 127.0.0.1 / ::1) does not require a JWT, so SSH Tunnel → localhost → DSH keeps working. Remote privileged APIs always require a JWT in v2.0.

Keep Origin reachable only from Cloudflare (or equivalent ingress). Installing this plugin is not a reason to put DSH on the public internet. Details: SECURITY.md.

Host/Origin runs first. A valid JWT never rewrites Host to loopback. Privileged success goes to the original /api handler (DSH Remote). On a remote trusted host, a valid Access JWT also skips DSH's launch-token cookie. Missing or invalid JWT returns 401/403 and never enters the privileged implementation. Loopback does not read JWT and still uses the official DSH token/cookie.

Forward Host, Origin, and Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion. Do not strip the assertion header. Do not trust the CF_Authorization cookie.

Install

Requires a Web profile. The package is on npm.

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-cloudflare-access

Unreleased Git commit:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Luawig/dsh-cloudflare-access

The Git tree ships prebuilt lib/index.js and lib/client.js. A github: install uses those artifacts and does not need TypeScript or esbuild.

Restart DSH. You do not edit $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml by hand, and you do not patch DSH itself.

Uninstall:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-cloudflare-access

After unload, this plugin's JWT wrap is gone. Restart if the running process still has the old fiber.

Configure

1. Put the DSH Web origin behind a Cloudflare Access application.
2. Copy the application Audience (aud) and team domain, for example https://example.cloudflareaccess.com (a host without https:// is accepted).
3. Cloudflare injects Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion on authenticated requests. That header is the only identity this plugin reads.

Issuer and JWKS URL are derived after the team domain is normalized to an http(s) origin (path is dropped):

issuer  = <origin>
JWKS    = <origin>/cdn-cgi/access/certs

You do not configure issuer or jwksUrl. Multiple audiences are supported.

Pin team domain and audiences with environment variables in production. If a variable exists, even as an empty string, that field is locked and cannot be retargeted from a remote Settings session.

Variable	Meaning
DSH_CF_ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN	Team domain / issuer
DSH_CF_ACCESS_AUDIENCES	Comma-separated audiences
DSH_CF_ACCESS_ORDINARY_MODE	off | optional | required

dsh --profile web --trusted-host dsh.example.com

systemd:

[Service]
Environment=DSH_CF_ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN=https://example.cloudflareaccess.com
Environment=DSH_CF_ACCESS_AUDIENCES=your-access-application-aud
Environment=DSH_CF_ACCESS_ORDINARY_MODE=off
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dsh --profile web --trusted-host dsh.example.com

Cordis overlay (only used when the matching env var is unset):

cloudflare:
  teamDomain: https://example.cloudflareaccess.com
  audiences:
    - your-access-application-aud
auth:
  ordinary: off

Missing teamDomain or audiences: the plugin still starts, loopback is unchanged, remote privileged APIs are denied.

Ordinary API modes

auth.ordinary applies only to remote non-privileged APIs, including /api/remote.mux. Loopback ignores it. Host/Origin always runs first.

Mode	No JWT	Valid JWT	Invalid JWT
off (default)	DSH original policy	ignored	ignored
optional	DSH original policy	allow	deny
required	deny	allow	deny

Privileged remote APIs always require a valid JWT, regardless of this setting.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check
Remote Settings still unavailable	Access must sit in front of the site; hard-refresh so the client module loads before Settings; confirm Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion reaches Origin.
Settings UI never calls settings/describe	This package sets dsh.client.immediately: true. Reinstall if an older tarball omitted that.
401 on settings/*	Access header missing or not forwarded. Inspect reverse-proxy forwarding of Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion. Loopback still needs the ?token= URL printed by dsh web.
403 on settings/*	Invalid iss/aud/signature/expiry, unconfigured plugin, Host/Origin mismatch, or Origin clock more than ~30s off.
Events WebSocket fails when ordinary=required	/api/remote.mux follows the ordinary policy. Missing JWT → 401; invalid JWT → 403.
Loopback Settings broken	Unload the plugin; loopback must not require JWT. File a bug if it does.
JWKS / key rotation failures	Origin must reach https://<team>/cdn-cgi/access/certs. No config change after Cloudflare rotates keys.
Logs	Categories only (expired, invalid_signature, issuer_mismatch, audience_mismatch, missing_token, jwks_unavailable, unconfigured). Tokens are never logged.

This plugin does not authorize host.pickDirectory or host.openPath. Some native-host UI may still appear.

Compatibility

Plugin	DSH	Status
1.0.x	0.1.1-rc.2（0.1.2 之前）	Live-tested (Web profile, remote Settings / Credentials). apiProxy + privileged pin. Not compatible with DSH 0.1.2+.
2.0.x	0.1.5-alpha.1	Live-tested on a Web profile behind Cloudflare Access (remote Settings without DSH ?token=). Unit/integration tests. CI does not start a DSH process.

Do not assume newer DSH releases work until this matrix is updated.

Develop

pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck
pnpm pack:check

After source changes, run pnpm build so committed lib/ matches src/. CI rebuilds lib/ and fails if the tree drifts.

dsh plugin --profile web add ./
