Remove the per-username LDAP STS throttle bucket and keep the limiter keyed only by source IP. A username bucket is shared across all clients and lets one source keep a known account's bucket drained with bad-password attempts, locking the legitimate user out before LDAP bind.
For trusted proxies, stop trusting the left-most forwarded address. Resolve X-Forwarded-For right-to-left, skip trusted proxy hops, reject catch-all trusted-proxy CIDRs, and intentionally ignore RFC 7239 Forwarded for this security-sensitive bucket. Document that X-Real-IP is trusted verbatim and must be overwritten by the trusted proxy, not passed through from clients.
Update focused limiter, source-IP, trusted-proxy, and LDAP config tests to cover source-only buckets, spoofed appended XFF, multi-hop trusted proxies, Forwarded fallback, catch-all rejection, and the X-Real-IP deployment contract.

Update the STS, security, select, and Docker documentation to reflect the recent hardening work, including LDAP STS throttling details, OIDC JWT verification changes, and the new pgsty-specific security policy and advisory index.
Rewrite repository and raw-document links that still pointed at minio/minio so the docs consistently reference pgsty/minio instead.
The core idea is to keep the documentation aligned with the fork's actual security behavior, ownership, and upgrade guidance without mixing in unrelated code changes.
Prevent LDAP STS reservation cancel paths from over-crediting rate-limit buckets by capping refill and refund capacity against in-flight reservations.
Add an explicit trusted-proxy allowlist for LDAP STS source bucketing, prefer clean X-Real-IP values on trusted peers, and extend tests/docs for the new behavior.
This change uses the updated ldap library in minio/pkg (bumped
up to v3). A new config parameter is added for LDAP configuration to
specify extra user attributes to load from the LDAP server and to store
them as additional claims for the user.
A test is added in sts_handlers.go that shows how to access the LDAP
attributes as a claim.
This is in preparation for adding SSH pubkey authentication to MinIO's SFTP
integration.
This change allows the MinIO server to lookup users in different directory
sub-trees by allowing specification of multiple search bases separated by
semicolons.
- Show notice when `MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_STS_EXPIRY` or the
corresponding to the configuration option is used at server startup.
- Once support is removed, the default will be fixed at 1 hour.
- Users may specify expiry directly in the STS API.
- Update docs and help message
- Adds example in ldap.go to configure expiry in STS API.
This feature also changes the default port where
the browser is running, now the port has moved
to 9001 and it can be configured with
```
--console-address ":9001"
```
- In username search filter and username format variables we support %s for
replacing with the username.
- In group search filter we support %s for username and %d for the full DN of
the username.
This change allows the MinIO server to be configured with a special (read-only)
LDAP account to perform user DN lookups.
The following configuration parameters are added (along with corresponding
environment variables) to LDAP identity configuration (under `identity_ldap`):
- lookup_bind_dn / MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_LOOKUP_BIND_DN
- lookup_bind_password / MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_LOOKUP_BIND_PASSWORD
- user_dn_search_base_dn / MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_USER_DN_SEARCH_BASE_DN
- user_dn_search_filter / MINIO_IDENTITY_LDAP_USER_DN_SEARCH_FILTER
This lookup-bind account is a service account that is used to lookup the user's
DN from their username provided in the STS API. When configured, searching for
the user DN is enabled and configuration of the base DN and filter for search is
required. In this "lookup-bind" mode, the username format is not checked and must
not be specified. This feature is to support Active Directory setups where the
DN cannot be simply derived from the username.
When the lookup-bind is not configured, the old behavior is enabled: the minio
server performs LDAP lookups as the LDAP user making the STS API request and the
username format is checked and configuring it is required.
Fixes support for using multiple base DNs for user search in the LDAP directory
allowing users from different subtrees in the LDAP hierarchy to request
credentials.
- The username in the produced credentials is now the full DN of the LDAP user
to disambiguate users in different base DNs.
- adding oauth support to MinIO browser (#8400) by @kanagaraj
- supports multi-line get/set/del for all config fields
- add support for comments, allow toggle
- add extensive validation of config before saving
- support MinIO browser to support proper claims, using STS tokens
- env support for all config parameters, legacy envs are also
supported with all documentation now pointing to latest ENVs
- preserve accessKey/secretKey from FS mode setups
- add history support implements three APIs
- ClearHistory
- RestoreHistory
- ListHistory
- add help command support for each config parameters
- all the bug fixes after migration to KV, and other bug
fixes encountered during testing.
