Before You Begin
Common Notes
- The
OpenID Connect 1.0
client_id
parameter:- This must be a unique value for every client.
- The value used in this guide is merely for readability and demonstration purposes and you should not use this value. We recommend 64 random characters but you can use any arbitrary value that meets the other criteria.
- This must only contain RFC3986 Unreserved Characters.
- This must be no more than 100 characters in length.
- The
OpenID Connect 1.0
client_secret
parameter:- The value used in this guide is merely for demonstration purposes and you should absolutely not use this in production and should instead utilize the How Do I Generate Client Secrets FAQ.
- This string may be stored as plaintext in the Authelia configuration but this behaviour is deprecated and is not guaranteed to be supported in the future. See the Plaintext guide for more information.
- When the secret is stored in hashed form in the authelia configuration (heavily recommended), the cost of hashing can, if too great, cause timeouts for clients. See the Tuning the work factors guide for more information.
- The Configuration example for Authelia is only a portion of the required configuration and it should be used as a guide in conjunction with the standard OpenID Connect 1.0 Provider Configuration and OpenID Connect 1.0 Clients Configuration guides.
Assumptions
This example makes the following assumptions:
- Application Root URL:
https://seafile.example.com/
- Authelia Root URL:
https://auth.example.com/
- Client ID:
seafile
- Client Secret:
insecure_secret
Configuration
Authelia
The following YAML configuration is an example Authelia client configuration for use with Seafile which will operate with the above example:
Important Note: The Seafile’s WebDAV extension does not support OAuth bearer at the time of this writing.
Application
Configure Seafile to use Authelia as an OpenID Connect 1.0 Provider.
-
Seafile may require some dependencies such as
requests_oauthlib
to be manually installed. See the Seafile documentation in the see also section for more information. -
Edit your Seafile
seahub_settings.py
configuration file and add the following:
Optionally, enable webdav secrets so that clients that do not support OAuth 2.0 (e.g., davfs2) can login via basic auth.
