The contains of this post is to show you how to integrate OpenCloud&rsquo;s OIDC with Authentik.</p> <p>There is some good documentation in <a href="https://integrations.goauthentik.io/chat-communication-collaboration/opencloud/">Authentik&rsquo;s website</a> that explains how to set up both sides of the equation. There are a couple of quirks with OpenCloud&rsquo;s implementation of OIDC.</p> <ol> <li>The first one is that each type of OpenCloud client needs its own OIDC client as well (or for the case of Authentik that would be a provider).</li> <li>The client IDs are for some reason hard coded for each OpenCloud client, so you&rsquo;d need to match those on Authentik&rsquo;s end</li> </ol> <p>That could be ok if you are using a different SSO service other than Authentik, but for our case we are running in a design limitation of Authentik&rsquo;s side because it allows a single provider per application. I you want to use just one OpenCloud client then that would be ok, but I find it unlikely. The above linked documentation from Authentik&rsquo;s webpage shows two guides, one for a single client and another if you want to utilize all 4 available OpenCloud clients (web, desktop, android, iOS). For both cases following the documentation should work.</p>
