Description

Target issue

closes #15426

Part of #15360. This PR does not close #15360 or #14594.

Implementation Details

Docs only (slice 4d). It documents the native app readiness check delivered by #15424 (endpoint, cache, rate limits, audit) and #15425 (Config API).

  • Adds docs/janssen-server/fido/native-app-readiness.md, a user guide for the check that compares an RP's deployed assetlinks.json and apple-app-site-association files with its configured native app entries.
  • Adds a "Native App Readiness" entry to the FIDO nav in mkdocs.yml.
  • Adds a link to the new page from docs/janssen-server/fido/fido2-server-properties-config.md.
  • The autogenerated fido2-properties.md is not edited.

Every statement in the guide was checked against the 4b and 4c code. mkdocs build passes with no warnings for these files.

Landing order: this branch is stacked on #15424 (jans-fido2-native-readiness-endpoint) and documents #15425 (jans-config-api-fido2-native-readiness). Merge #15424 and #15425 first, then this PR. Until then the diff against main also shows the commits from the lower slices.


Test and Document the changes

  • Static code analysis has been run locally and issues have been fixed
  • Relevant unit and integration tests have been added/updated
  • Relevant documentation has been updated if any (i.e. user guides, installation and configuration guides, technical design docs etc)

Static analysis and tests: not applicable, docs only.

Please check the below before submitting your PR. The PR will not be merged if there are no commits that start with docs: to indicate documentation changes or if the below checklist is not selected.

  • I confirm that there is no impact on the docs due to the code changes in this PR.

- Around line 27-28: Update the readiness documentation to clarify that
nativeReadinessEnabled alone enables configuration-only checks, and that the
second property is required only when checking deployed files; avoid implying
both properties must be enabled for all checks.
- Line 179: Update the “Bounded” statement in the native-app readiness
documentation to clarify that the 10-second limit applies to the HTTP fetch
after DNS resolution, while retaining the 256 KiB response-size cap and the
existing properties qualification.

Both properties must be `true`. Both are `false` by default, so an upgrade changes nothing until an
administrator turns them on.

Require both properties only for external fetching.

When only nativeReadinessEnabled is true, the service runs configuration-only checks. The statement that both properties “must be true” can lead an administrator to enable outbound fetching unnecessarily. State that the second property is required only to check deployed files. (github.com)

Qualify the 10-second HTTP timeout.

WellKnownFetcher resolves the hostname before it schedules the 10-second deadline. DNS uses the JVM resolver outside this timeout, so DNS latency can make the complete check exceed 10 seconds. State that the limit applies to the HTTP fetch after DNS resolution.
