Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

Mobile and desktop apps had no way to complete a SAML login the way OAuth providers already do it with a loginClient query param. The existing mobile path opened SAML in an embedded WebView, which Apple/Google discourage, which had limited support for web APIs, and which being incognito can never reuse an existing IdP session, so users re-authenticate every time.

This PR fixes this problem by making the authentication happen on system browser and then sharing the session token with respective client using deeplink auth.

Issue(s)

Steps to test or reproduce

For proper end-to-end testing we need to run a compatible versions of mobile and desktop app but we can still test without it -

  • Open the login page
  • add ?loginClient=desktop to the end of login page URL and enter
  • Opens the login page with the above appended query param
  • Initiate and complete saml auth
  • It should redirect back to login page with a session ready to be shared with desktop client

Walkthrough

Adds SAML authentication handoff for desktop and mobile clients through the system browser. The flow validates and preserves loginClient in RelayState, creates a native deep link with the credential token, and keeps the existing browser flow for other clients.

Changes

SAML native client handoff

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relay state and authorization URL propagation
apps/meteor/server/lib/saml/lib/Utils.ts, apps/meteor/server/lib/saml/lib/ServiceProvider.ts, apps/meteor/tests/unit/server/lib/saml/server.tests.ts
RelayState now encodes and decodes the provider with validated desktop or mobile client values. Authorization URL generation forwards the client value. Unit tests cover supported, unsupported, legacy, and URL-encoded values.
SAML request and response routing
apps/meteor/server/lib/saml/lib/SAML.ts
SAML request processing validates loginClient, passes it to authorization URL generation, decodes RelayState during response validation, and includes the client in the validation redirect.
Native client deep-link handoff
apps/meteor/client/lib/buildAuthDeeplinkURL.ts, apps/meteor/client/meteor/login/saml.ts, apps/meteor/client/views/root/SAMLLoginRoute.tsx, apps/meteor/client/views/root/SAMLLoginRoute.spec.tsx, apps/meteor/tests/e2e/saml.spec.ts, .changeset/cute-pumas-trade.md
Desktop and mobile routes convert SAML credential tokens to rocketchat://auth links and navigate to /home. Other clients use browser authentication. Unit and end-to-end tests cover the handoff.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c6f7

The PR adds browser-based SAML deeplink authentication, but provider values containing provider= can be decoded incorrectly and the focused end-to-end test can suppress the remaining SAML tests or fail CI. Merge readiness is moderate until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Learning: For changes related to OpenAPI migrations in Rocket.Chat/OpenAPI, when removing endpoint types and validators from rocket.chat/rest-typings (e.g., UserRegisterParamsPOST, /v1/users.register) document this as a minor changeset (not breaking) per RocketChat/Rocket.Chat-Open-API#150 Rule 7. Note that the endpoint type is re-exposed via a module augmentation .d.ts in the consuming package (e.g., packages/web-ui-registration/src/users-register.d.ts). In reviews, ensure the changeset clearly states: this is a non-breaking change, the major version should not be bumped, and the changeset reflects a minor version bump. Do not treat this as a breaking change during OpenAPI migrations.

Timestamp: 2026-02-10T16:32:42.586Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat's Meteor client code, DDP streams use EJSON and Date fields arrive as Date objects; do not manually construct new Date() in stream handlers (for example, in sdk.stream()). Only REST API responses return plain JSON where dates are strings, so implement explicit conversion there if needed. Apply this guidance to all TypeScript files under apps/meteor/client to ensure consistent date handling in DDP streams and REST responses.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat’s Meteor client code, when calling `dispatchToastMessage` with `{ type: 'error' }`, pass the raw caught error object as `message` without manual normalization. `dispatchToastMessage` is designed to accept `message: unknown` for error toasts, so avoid converting errors to strings (e.g., `String(error)`) or extracting `error.message` before passing them.

Learning: Field wrappers in rocket.chat/fuselage-forms (Field, FieldLabel, FieldRow, FieldError, FieldHint) auto-create htmlFor/id associations, aria-describedby, and role="alert" for errors. Do not manually set htmlFor, id, aria-describedby, or role attributes when using these wrappers. This automatic wiring does not apply to plain rocket.chat/fuselage components, which require explicit ID wiring per the accessibility docs. In code reviews, prefer using fuselage-forms wrappers for form fields and verify there is no unnecessary manual ID/aria wiring in files that use these wrappers. If a component uses plain fuselage components, ensure proper id wiring as per docs.

Learning: In Playwright end-to-end tests (e.g., under apps/meteor/tests/e2e/...), prefer locating elements by translated text (getByText) and ARIA roles (getByRole) over data-qa attributes. If translation values change, update the corresponding test locators accordingly. Never use data-qa locators. This guideline applies to all Playwright e2e test specs in the repository and helps keep tests robust to UI text changes and accessible semantics.

Learning: In RocketChat e2e tests, avoid using data-qa attributes to locate elements. Prefer semantic locators such as getByRole, getByLabel, getByText, getByTitle and ARIA-based selectors. Apply this rule to all TypeScript files under apps/meteor/tests/e2e to improve test reliability, accessibility, and maintainability.

Learning: In tests (especially those using testing-library/dom/jsdom) for Rocket.Chat components, the HTML <code> element has an implicit ARIA role of 'code'. Therefore, screen.getByRole('code') or screen.findByRole('code') will locate <code> elements even without a role attribute. Do not flag findByRole('code') as invalid in reviews; prefer using the implicit role instead of adding role="code" unless necessary for accessibility.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat, there are two different `ModalBackdrop` components with different prop APIs. During review, confirm the import source: (1) `rocket.chat/fuselage` `ModalBackdrop` uses `ModalBackdropProps` based on `BoxProps` (so it supports `onClick` and other Box/DOM props) and does not have an `onDismiss` prop; (2) `rocket.chat/ui-client` `ModalBackdrop` uses a narrower props interface like `{ children?: ReactNode; onDismiss?: () => void }` and handles Escape keypress and outside mouse-up, and it does not forward arbitrary DOM props such as `onClick`. Flag mismatched props (e.g., `onDismiss` passed to the fuselage component or `onClick` passed to the ui-client component) and ensure the usage matches the correct component being imported.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat Meteor server code, `callbacks.runAsync` returns its input item rather than the asynchronous callback promise. Callers of `afterReadMessages` must invoke `callbacks.runAsync` without awaiting it, keeping read-receipt I/O off the message-send path; this includes `apps/meteor/server/hooks/messages/processThreads.ts`.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use an unambiguous RelayState format.

Line 157 parses any RelayState that contains provider= as structured data. Lines 145-146 still emit raw provider values for normal browser logins. A configured provider such as myprovider=value then decodes with no provider, while provider=value decodes as value. This breaks provider mapping after SAML validation.

Prefix structured RelayState values with a version marker. Treat every unprefixed value as a legacy provider. Add coverage for raw providers that contain provider=.

Proposed fix
 public static encodeAuthorizeRelayState(provider: string, loginClient?: string): string {
 	if (!this.isSupportedLoginClient(loginClient)) {
 		return provider;
 	}

-	return new URLSearchParams({ provider, loginClient }).toString();
+	return `v1:${new URLSearchParams({ provider, loginClient })}`;
 }

 public static decodeAuthorizeRelayState(relayState?: string | null): { provider?: string; loginClient?: 'desktop' | 'mobile' } {
 	if (!relayState) {
 		return {};
 	}

-	if (relayState.includes('provider=')) {
-		const params = new URLSearchParams(relayState);
+	if (relayState.startsWith('v1:')) {
+		const params = new URLSearchParams(relayState.slice(3));
 		const provider = params.get('provider') ?? undefined;
