## Configuration

### Authelia

{{< callout context="caution" title="Important Note" icon="outline/alert-triangle" >}}
At the time of this writing this third party client has a bug and does not support [OpenID Connect 1.0](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html). This
configuration will likely require configuration of an escape hatch to work around the bug on their end. See
[Configuration Escape Hatch](#configuration-escape-hatch) for details.
{{< /callout >}}

The following YAML configuration is an example __Authelia__ [client configuration] for use with [Kiali] which will
operate with the application example:

```yaml {title="configuration.yml"}
identity_providers:
  oidc:
    ## The other portions of the mandatory OpenID Connect 1.0 configuration go here.
    ## See: https://www.authelia.com/c/oidc
    clients:
      - client_id: 'kiali'
        client_name: 'Kiali'
        client_secret: '$pbkdf2-sha512$310000$c8p78n7pUMln0jzvd4aK4Q$JNRBzwAo0ek5qKn50cFzzvE9RXV88h1wJn5KGiHrD0YKtZaR/nCb2CJPOsKaPK0hjf.9yHxzQGZziziccp6Yng'  # The digest of 'insecure_secret'.
        public: false
        authorization_policy: 'two_factor'
        require_pkce: false
        pkce_challenge_method: ''
        redirect_uris:
          - 'https://kiali.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/kiali'
        scopes:
          - 'openid'
          - 'email'
        response_types:
          - 'code'
        grant_types:
          - 'authorization_code'
        access_token_signed_response_alg: 'none'
        userinfo_signed_response_alg: 'none'
        token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_post'
```

### Application

To configure [Kiali] there are two methods, using the [Configuration File](#configuration-file), or using
[Environment Variables](#environment-variables).

#### Configuration File

To configure [Kiali] to utilize Authelia as an [OpenID Connect 1.0] Provider, use the following configuration:

Adjust your Kiali CR YAML file:

```yaml {title="Kiali CR"}
spec:
  auth:
    strategy: 'openid'
    openid:
      client_id: 'kiali'
      disable_rbac: true
      issuer_uri: 'https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}'
      scopes: ['openid', 'email']
      username_claim: 'email'
```

Add the [OpenID Connect 1.0] Client Secret:

```yaml {title="kiali.openid.secret.yaml"}
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: 'kiali'
  namespace: 'istio-system'
  labels:
    app: 'kiali'
type: 'Opaque'
stringData:
  oidc-secret: 'insecure_secret'
```
