    • Updated default and sample configurations to include the Preset backend.

Walkthrough

Adds a Preset SCIM backend with default configuration, factory wiring, validated HTTP transport, user and team lifecycle operations, group membership batching, rate-limit handling, and test coverage.

Changes

Preset SCIM backend

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and factory wiring
appconfig/default.yaml, config/samples/v1alpha1_group.yaml, pkg/clients/client.go
The configurations define a preset backend. The client factory constructs PresetClient with application HTTP settings.
Client contract and SCIM transport
pkg/clients/preset/types.go, pkg/clients/preset/client.go, pkg/clients/preset/client_test.go
The client validates base_url, team_slug, and scim_token. It builds SCIM URLs, sends authenticated requests, handles HTTP statuses, escapes filters, and retries rate-limited responses. Tests cover construction, retries, backoff, and escaping.
User and team lifecycle operations
pkg/clients/preset/users.go, pkg/clients/preset/teams.go, pkg/clients/preset/client_test.go
The client paginates users and groups, converts SCIM resources, creates users and teams, resolves conflicts through lookups, and treats deletion of missing resources as successful.
Group membership operations
pkg/clients/preset/team_membership.go, pkg/clients/preset/client_test.go
The client fetches group members and batches membership additions and removals at 500 IDs. It escapes removal filters, continues after batch failures, and returns aggregated errors. Tests cover batching, payloads, failures, and empty input.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f5613

The Preset integration can expose its SCIM token when configured with HTTP, and its default placeholder token can prevent the application from starting when the file is not mounted. Both should be corrected before merge.

Do not enable Preset with an unavailable default token file.

config.GetConfig() loads appconfig/default.yaml before startup continues. SubstituteConfigValues resolves every file|... value, including disabled backends, and substituteString panics when path/to/preset_scim_token is missing. This occurs before any Preset reconciliation is selected.

Startup also constructs clients for every enabled backend in cmd/main.go, and preloadCache does the same. Therefore, the enabled default Preset backend can block startup and normal controller operation when its token file is absent. Remove this Preset entry from the shared default configuration, or move it to an environment-specific configuration that mounts the token file. Setting only enabled: false is insufficient while the file|... reference remains.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-319 — Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Require HTTPS for base_url.

NewClient accepts an HTTP URL. sendRequest then sends scim_token in the Authorization header over that unencrypted connection. An on-path attacker can capture the token when an operator supplies an HTTP endpoint.

Parse base_url. Require an absolute HTTPS URL with a host before initializing the client.

Proposed fix
-	if presetConfig.BaseURL == "" {
+	parsedBaseURL, err := url.Parse(strings.TrimSpace(presetConfig.BaseURL))
+	if err != nil || !strings.EqualFold(parsedBaseURL.Scheme, "https") || parsedBaseURL.Host == "" {
-		return nil, fmt.Errorf("preset configuration is missing required field: base_url")
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("preset configuration base_url must be an absolute HTTPS URL")
 	}

As per path instructions, focus on major issues impacting security.

this function might need renaming. also, does the email get escaped now? Not testing that?
