📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds workload token exchange across authentication middleware, client factories, workload proxies, deployment sidecars, and agent deployment creation. Trusted-header mode remains available when token exchange is disabled. Documentation and tests cover both modes. ChangesAuthentication flow

Job containers need to run inside the trust boundary. In token-exchange mode, managed jobs call NeMo Platform APIs with delegated bearer tokens obtained through workload identity token exchange. In trusted-header mode, callers use the propagated identity headers. In both modes, jobs act as the submitting user and remain subject to the same authorization checks as any other caller.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-319 — Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
Reject remote cleartext destinations before attaching service bearer tokens.
get_platform_sdk() and get_async_platform_sdk() accept a caller-supplied base_url, then attach service tokens through request hooks. client_from_platform() carries that URL and transport into entity clients, and as_service() installs ServiceWorkloadAccessTokenProvider. Remote http:// destinations can therefore receive bearer tokens without TLS.
Use one shared transport-policy helper, but invoke it at both attachment boundaries. Validate the actual endpoint transport, not only base_url, so UDS remains allowed. Permit only HTTPS, UDS, loopback HTTP, or an authenticated encrypted tunnel.

Block forwarded bearer tokens on remote cleartext endpoints.
Workload token exchange forwards the raw bearer token through get_principal_auth_headers(). SDK construction and request-scoped SDKs reuse transports that accept remote http:// endpoints without this guard. Validate every actual SDK route at the shared transport boundary with require_authorization_header_endpoint(), while retaining HTTPS, UDS, and loopback HTTP. Direct callers that pass these headers to their own httpx client also need a guarded outbound API or must stop using the raw-header helper.

transports, and replace or guard direct get_principal_auth_headers() callers
that send headers through their own httpx clients.

TL;DR
Workload token exchange is now the enforced credential path for managed agents and internal service/platform clients when it is enabled. Trusted
X-NHX-*identity headers remain the fallback for trusted-header mode, but protected routes reject them in token-exchange mode so workloads cannot bypass creator-scoped bearer tokens.Details
This adds NeMo-minted workload access tokens for service and on-behalf-of identities, including issuance, validation, signing-key/JWKS helpers, audience and scope handling, and actor-claim support. The auth middleware recognizes workload access and subject tokens through the bearer-token path, while rejecting trusted identity headers whenever workload token exchange is active.
Platform SDK and typed-client construction now share one runtime context for endpoint routing, default auth headers, workload-identity bootstrap, service-scoped bearer-token providers, and observability header propagation. Generated SDK handles and typed clients carry the same runtime policy, including endpoint safety checks that prevent bearer tokens from being sent to cleartext remote URLs.
Managed agent deployments now fail closed when workload token exchange is enabled but creator auth context is unavailable. Agent auth-proxy sidecars receive workload identity where appropriate, exchange the mounted subject token, and forward upstream requests with bearer tokens; trusted-header stamping is limited to the non-token-exchange fallback.
The branch also updates entity/service client helpers to use explicit service-scoped clients, adjusts deployment/job/guardrails/inference/intake call sites that forward platform credentials, and documents secure credential propagation plus workload token-exchange configuration.
The Authentik Kubernetes chart now uses the platform
base_urlfor the Envoy HTTPS endpoint, mounts the workload-token signing key and Envoy CA into controller/seed pods, and removes the oldNHX_PLATFORM_URL/NHX_AUTH_URLsplit for that path.Validation

The highest-risk areas are auth mode selection at client construction, trusted-header rejection in mixed deployments, and managed agent deployment behavior when creator context is missing.
