summary: "OAuth in OpenClaw: token exchange, storage, and multi-account patterns"
|
||||
read_when:
|
||||
- You want to understand OpenClaw OAuth end-to-end
|
||||
- You hit token invalidation / logout issues
|
||||
- You want Claude CLI or OAuth auth flows
|
||||
- You want multiple accounts or profile routing
|
||||
title: "OAuth"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw supports OAuth ("subscription auth") for providers that offer it,
|
||||
notably **OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT OAuth)** and **Anthropic Claude CLI reuse**.
|
||||
For Anthropic, the practical split is:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Anthropic API key**: normal Anthropic API billing.
|
||||
- **Anthropic Claude CLI / subscription auth inside OpenClaw**: Anthropic staff
|
||||
told us this usage is allowed again, so OpenClaw treats Claude CLI reuse and
|
||||
`claude -p` usage as sanctioned for this integration unless Anthropic
|
||||
publishes a new policy. For Anthropic in production, API key auth is still
|
||||
the safer recommended path.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw stores both OpenAI API-key auth and ChatGPT/Codex OAuth under the
|
||||
canonical provider id `openai`. Older `openai-codex:*` profile ids and
|
||||
`auth.order.openai-codex` entries are legacy state repaired by
|
||||
`openclaw doctor --fix`; use `openai:*` profile ids and `auth.order.openai` for
|
||||
new config.
|
||||
|
||||
This page covers:
|
||||
|
||||
- how the OAuth **token exchange** works (PKCE)
|
||||
- where tokens are **stored** (and why)
|
||||
- how to handle **multiple accounts** (profiles + per-session overrides)
|
||||
|
||||
Provider plugins that ship their own OAuth or API-key flow run through the
|
||||
same entry point:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth login --provider <id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## The token sink (why it exists)
|
||||
|
||||
OAuth providers commonly mint a new refresh token on every login/refresh.
|
||||
Some providers invalidate the previous refresh token when a new one is
|
||||
issued for the same user/app. Practical symptom: log in via OpenClaw _and_
|
||||
via Claude Code / Codex CLI, and one of them randomly gets logged out later.
|
||||
|
||||
To reduce that, OpenClaw treats the auth profile store as a **token sink**:
|
||||
|
||||
- the runtime reads credentials from one place per agent
|
||||
- multiple profiles can coexist and route deterministically
|
||||
- external CLI reuse is provider-specific: once OpenClaw owns a local OAuth
|
||||
profile for a provider, the local refresh token is canonical. If that local
|
||||
refresh token is rejected, OpenClaw reports the profile for
|
||||
re-authentication instead of falling back to external CLI token material.
|
||||
Codex CLI bootstrap is narrower still: it can only seed an empty
|
||||
`openai:default`-style profile before OpenClaw owns OAuth for that
|
||||
provider; after that, OpenClaw-owned refreshes stay canonical
|
||||
- status/startup paths scope external CLI discovery to the provider set
|
||||
already configured, so an unrelated CLI login store is not probed for a
|
||||
single-provider setup
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage (where tokens live)
|
||||
|
||||
Secrets live per agent, keyed by the logical name `auth-profiles.json` (the
|
||||
underlying store is the agent's SQLite database; the JSON name is kept for
|
||||
compatibility and tooling display):
|
||||
|
||||
- Auth profiles (OAuth + API keys + optional value-level refs):
|
||||
`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`
|
||||
- Legacy compatibility file: `~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth.json`
|
||||
(static `api_key` entries are scrubbed when discovered)
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy import-only file (still supported, but not the main store):
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json` (imported into the auth profile store on first use)
|
||||
|
||||
All of the above also respect `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` (state dir override). Full reference: [/gateway/configuration-reference#auth-storage](/gateway/configuration-reference#auth-storage)
|
||||
|
||||
For static secret refs and runtime snapshot activation behavior, see [Secrets Management](/gateway/secrets).
|
||||
|
||||
When a secondary agent has no local auth profile, OpenClaw uses read-through
|
||||
inheritance from the default/main agent store; it does not clone the main
|
||||
agent's store on read. OAuth refresh tokens are especially sensitive: normal
|
||||
copy flows skip them by default because some providers rotate or invalidate
|
||||
refresh tokens after use. Configure a separate OAuth login for an agent when
|
||||
it needs an independent account.
|
||||
|
||||
## Anthropic Claude CLI reuse
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw supports Anthropic Claude CLI reuse and `claude -p` as a sanctioned
|
||||
auth path. If you already have a local Claude login on the host,
|
||||
onboarding/configure can reuse it directly. Anthropic setup-token remains
|
||||
available as a supported token-auth path, but OpenClaw prefers Claude CLI
|
||||
reuse when it is available.
|
||||
|
||||
<Warning>
|
||||
Anthropic's public Claude Code docs say direct Claude Code use stays within
|
||||
Claude subscription limits, and Anthropic staff told us OpenClaw-style Claude
|
||||
CLI usage is allowed again. OpenClaw therefore treats Claude CLI reuse and
|
||||
`claude -p` usage as sanctioned for this integration unless Anthropic
|
||||
publishes a new policy.
|
||||
|
||||
For Anthropic's current direct-Claude-Code plan docs, see [Using Claude Code
|
||||
with your Pro or Max
|
||||
plan](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11145838-using-claude-code-with-your-pro-or-max-plan)
|
||||
and [Using Claude Code with your Team or Enterprise
|
||||
plan](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11845131-using-claude-code-with-your-team-or-enterprise-plan/).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want other subscription-style options in OpenClaw, see [OpenAI
|
||||
Codex](/providers/openai), [Qwen Cloud Coding
|
||||
Plan](/providers/qwen), [MiniMax Coding Plan](/providers/minimax),
|
||||
and [Z.AI / GLM Coding Plan](/providers/zai).
|
||||
</Warning>
|
||||
|
||||
## OAuth exchange (how login works)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenClaw's interactive login flows are implemented in `openclaw/plugin-sdk/llm.ts` and wired into the wizards/commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Anthropic setup-token
|
||||
|
||||
Flow shape:
|
||||
|
||||
1. start Anthropic setup-token or paste-token from OpenClaw
|
||||
2. OpenClaw stores the resulting Anthropic credential in an auth profile
|
||||
3. model selection stays on `anthropic/...`
|
||||
4. existing Anthropic auth profiles remain available for rollback/order control
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT OAuth)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenAI Codex OAuth is explicitly supported for use outside the Codex CLI, including OpenClaw workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
The login command uses the canonical OpenAI provider id:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth login --provider openai
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--profile-id openai:<name>` for multiple ChatGPT/Codex OAuth accounts in
|
||||
one agent. Do not use `openai-codex:<name>` for new profiles. Doctor migrates
|
||||
that older prefix to a collision-free `openai:*` profile id; run
|
||||
`openclaw models auth list --provider openai` after repair before copying
|
||||
profile ids into `auth.order` or `/model ...@<profileId>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Flow shape (PKCE):
|
||||
|
||||
1. generate a PKCE verifier/challenge and a random `state`
|
||||
2. open `https://auth.openai.com/oauth/authorize?...` (scope
|
||||
`openid profile email offline_access`)
|
||||
3. try to capture the callback on `http://localhost:1455/auth/callback` (the
|
||||
callback host defaults to `localhost` and only accepts loopback hosts;
|
||||
override with `OPENCLAW_OAUTH_CALLBACK_HOST`)
|
||||
4. if you can paste a code before the callback lands (or you are
|
||||
remote/headless and the callback can't bind), paste the redirect URL/code
|
||||
instead - manual paste races the browser callback and whichever completes
|
||||
first wins
|
||||
5. exchange the code at `https://auth.openai.com/oauth/token`
|
||||
6. extract `accountId` from the access token and store `{ access, refresh, expires, accountId }`
|
||||
|
||||
Wizard path is `openclaw onboard` → auth choice `openai`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Refresh + expiry
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles store an `expires` timestamp. At runtime:
|
||||
|
||||
- if `expires` is in the future, use the stored access token
|
||||
- if expired, refresh (under a file lock) and overwrite the stored credentials
|
||||
- if a secondary agent reads an inherited main-agent OAuth profile, the
|
||||
refresh writes back to the main agent store instead of copying the refresh
|
||||
token into the secondary agent store
|
||||
- externally managed CLI credentials (Claude CLI, narrow Codex CLI bootstrap;
|
||||
see [The token sink](#the-token-sink-why-it-exists)) are re-read instead of
|
||||
spending a copied refresh token. If a managed refresh fails, OpenClaw
|
||||
reports the affected profile for re-authentication instead of returning
|
||||
external CLI token material.
|
||||
|
||||
The refresh flow is automatic; you generally do not need to manage tokens manually.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple accounts (profiles) + routing
|
||||
|
||||
Two patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Preferred: separate agents
|
||||
|
||||
If you want "personal" and "work" to never interact, use isolated agents (separate sessions + credentials + workspace):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw agents add work
|
||||
openclaw agents add personal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure auth per-agent (wizard) and route chats to the right agent.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Advanced: multiple profiles in one agent
|
||||
|
||||
The auth profile store supports multiple profile IDs for the same provider.
|
||||
Pick which one is used:
|
||||
|
||||
- globally via config ordering (`auth.order`)
|
||||
- per-session via `/model ...@<profileId>`
|
||||
|
||||
Example (session override):
|
||||
|
||||
- `/model Opus@anthropic:work`
|
||||
|
||||
List existing profile IDs with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw models auth list --provider <id>
|
||||
```
