Update Turnstile settings

PUT
/api/v1/admin/settings/turnstile
Code sample: Shell / cURL
curl --request PUT \
--url http://localhost:9090/api/v1/admin/settings/turnstile \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "turnstileEnabled": true, "turnstileSiteKey": "example", "turnstileSecretKey": "example", "clearTurnstileSecretKey": false }'

Turn the Cloudflare Turnstile challenge on or off, and store the site key and the secret key of its widget. A change applies from the next request. Turning the challenge off keeps both keys.

The stored secret key is kept, replaced or removed: an absent or empty turnstileSecretKey keeps it, a non-empty one replaces it, and clearTurnstileSecretKey: true removes it. Space around either key is trimmed.

A save that stores a new secret key, or turns the challenge on, first checks the secret key with Cloudflare’s siteverify, and is refused with 400 when Cloudflare doesn’t accept it or can’t be reached. Turning the challenge off and removing the secret key never call Cloudflare.

Media typeapplication/json
object
turnstileEnabled

true turns the challenge on, which needs a site key and a secret key, stored or sent. false turns it off and keeps the keys.

boolean
turnstileSiteKey

The site key of the Turnstile widget, at most 128 characters. Changing it while a secret key is stored needs a new turnstileSecretKey, or clearTurnstileSecretKey: true.

string
<= 128 characters
turnstileSecretKey

A new secret key, at most 128 characters. The stored secret key is never returned, only hasTurnstileSecretKey, so an absent or empty value keeps the stored one; a non-empty value replaces it.

string
<= 128 characters
clearTurnstileSecretKey

true removes the stored secret key. Refused while the challenge is on or being turned on, and together with a non-empty turnstileSecretKey.

boolean

Settings updated

Media typeapplication/json
object
turnstileEnabled
required

Whether the sign-in, forgot-password and registration forms carry the Turnstile challenge.

boolean
turnstileSiteKey
required

The site key of the Turnstile widget. Empty when none is stored.

string
hasTurnstileSecretKey
required

Whether a secret key is stored. The secret key itself is never answered.

boolean

"turnstileEnabled": true,

Invalid request body or parameters

Media typeapplication/json

Admin/account API error envelope. Routing by HTTP status code: 4xx is a client-correctable failure (validation, not found, permission denied, rate limited); 5xx is a server-side problem. The body provides a stable error_code and an error_description for people to read. Protocol endpoints (/auth/token, /auth/authorize, /connect/register, /userinfo) use their RFC-defined error envelopes instead of this one.

object
error_code

Stable identifier for the failure. UPPER_SNAKE for legacy codes (e.g. VALIDATION_ERROR), dotted lowercase for codes named after the sentence’s catalog key (e.g. validator.email.required). Never translated, whatever the request’s language.

string
error_description
required

A sentence for people to read: in the request’s language, from the ui_locales query parameter or else the Accept-Language header, when the server has the sentence in that language, and in English otherwise. Route on error_code, not on this text.

string

Example generated

{
"error_code": "example",
"error_description": "example"
}
WWW-Authenticate
string

Bearer challenge when token transport is malformed; ordinary validation errors omit it.

Missing or invalid access token (ACCESS_TOKEN_REQUIRED, INVALID_TOKEN), or a refused DPoP proof (INVALID_DPOP_PROOF)

string

{
"error_code": "example",

WWW-Authenticate
string

A Bearer challenge, then a DPoP challenge naming the accepted proof algorithms, on token refusals, the error in the challenge of the scheme the token was sent with: Bearer realm="goiabada", error="invalid_token", error_description="...", DPoP realm="goiabada", algs="ES256 ...". An operation may also return a handler-level 401 without this header.

The token is valid but does not authorise this request. A caller tells the refusals apart by error_code.

INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE comes from the route’s authorisation middleware, before the handler runs: an Admin operation needs one of the scopes its route names, and an Account operation needs authserver:manage-account.

USER_CONTEXT_REQUIRED comes from the same middleware on the Account operations, which also require the token to have been issued for a user: one obtained through the client credentials grant carries no auth_time claim and is refused here.

FORBIDDEN comes from the handler, on the account endpoints that resolve a resource by id and then check it belongs to the caller, so a valid token for the wrong user reaches this rather than a 404.

CLIENT_NOT_ALLOWED comes from the route on the two Account operations only the admin console’s own client may call, deleteAccount and exportAccount. ACCOUNT_DELETION_DISABLED comes from deleteAccount while an administrator has turned off Let users delete their own account.

MANAGE_SCOPE_REQUIRED comes from the handler, on the Admin operations the administrative policy guards. Only authserver:manage creates an administrator, changes one, or changes what reaches one, so no granular scope will ever be enough: the remedy is a token holding authserver:manage, not requesting the route’s scope as for INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. An administrator is a user, group or client holding any of the six administrative permissions (manage, admin-read, manage-users, manage-clients, manage-settings, browser-sessions), a user directly or through any of its groups, the admin console’s own client whatever it holds, and a client allowed to request the administrative scopes. A granular scope is refused here when it:

  • grants or revokes an administrative permission, directly or by moving a user into or out of a group that holds one, or deletes such a group;
  • writes to an administrator user (profile, credentials, enabled, sessions, consents, attributes, memberships, permissions, deletion), an administrative group (settings, attributes, members, permissions, deletion), or an administrator client (settings, authentication, flows, redirect URIs, sign-out redirect URIs, back-channel logout, DPoP, web origins, token settings, permissions, introspection resources, logo, deletion);
  • switches whether a client may request the administrative scopes, on or off, on any client;
  • adds the authserver resource to a client’s introspection resources;
  • reads an administrator client’s secret, or reads or sets the secret of a client listed for the authserver resource among its introspection resources;
  • sets or changes a client’s back-channel logout URI;
  • changes the email or the audit-log settings;
  • changes an administrative permission’s description. Granular scopes still read administrators. The refusal is answered after the request’s 400 and 404, writes nothing, carries the insufficient_scope challenge of the scheme the token was sent with, such as WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="goiabada", error="insufficient_scope", error_description="...", scope="authserver:manage", and leaves an administrator_change_refused audit record.

WWW-Authenticate
string

An insufficient_scope challenge in the scheme the token was sent with, Bearer or DPoP, on every refusal but FORBIDDEN and ACCOUNT_DELETION_DISABLED, which omit it.

The request failed inside the server, most often a storage error. error_code is INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: no detail about the failure, only the request id an operator can find the log line by, and retrying is reasonable. Key rotation’s 500 also answers KEY_SET_INCOMPLETE, which names its cause and no retry clears.
