<h1 id="configuring-synapse-to-authenticate-against-an-openid-connect-provider"><a class="header" href="#configuring-synapse-to-authenticate-against-an-openid-connect-provider">Configuring Synapse to authenticate against an OpenID Connect provider</a></h1>
<p>Synapse can be configured to use an OpenID Connect Provider (OP) for
authentication, instead of its own local password database.</p>
<p>Any OP should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code
flow. There are a few options for that:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>start a local OP. Synapse has been tested with <a href="https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/">Hydra</a> and
<a href="https://github.com/dexidp/dex">Dex</a>. Note that for an OP to work, it should be served under a
secure (HTTPS) origin. A certificate signed with a self-signed, locally
trusted CA should work. In that case, start Synapse with a <code>SSL_CERT_FILE</code>
environment variable set to the path of the CA.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>set up a SaaS OP, like <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect">Google</a>, <a href="https://auth0.com/">Auth0</a> or
<a href="https://www.okta.com/">Okta</a>. Synapse has been tested with Auth0 and Google.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It may also be possible to use other OAuth2 providers which provide the
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1">authorization code grant type</a>,
such as <a href="https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps">Github</a>.</p>
<h2 id="preparing-synapse"><a class="header" href="#preparing-synapse">Preparing Synapse</a></h2>
<p>The OpenID integration in Synapse uses the
<a href="https://pypi.org/project/Authlib/"><code>authlib</code></a> library, which must be installed
as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
provided by <code>matrix.org</code> so no further action is needed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run <code>/path/to/env/bin/pip install matrix-synapse[oidc]</code> to install the necessary dependencies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
maintainer.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To enable the OpenID integration, you should then add a section to the <code>oidc_providers</code>
setting in your configuration file.
See the <a href="usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#oidc_providers">configuration manual</a> for some sample settings, as well as
the text below for example configurations for specific providers.</p>
<h2 id="oidc-back-channel-logout"><a class="header" href="#oidc-back-channel-logout">OIDC Back-Channel Logout</a></h2>
<p>Synapse supports receiving <a href="https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-backchannel-1_0.html">OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout</a> notifications.</p>
<p>This lets the OpenID Connect Provider notify Synapse when a user logs out, so that Synapse can end that user session.
This feature can be enabled by setting the <code>backchannel_logout_enabled</code> property to <code>true</code> in the provider configuration, and setting the following URL as destination for Back-Channel Logout notifications in your OpenID Connect Provider: <code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/backchannel_logout</code></p>
<h2 id="sample-configs"><a class="header" href="#sample-configs">Sample configs</a></h2>
<p>Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.</p>
<h3 id="microsoft-azure-active-directory"><a class="header" href="#microsoft-azure-active-directory">Microsoft Azure Active Directory</a></h3>
<p>Azure AD can act as an OpenID Connect Provider. Register a new application under
<em>App registrations</em> in the Azure AD management console. The RedirectURI for your
application should point to your matrix server:
<code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback</code></p>
<p>Go to <em>Certificates &amp; secrets</em> and register a new client secret. Make note of your
Directory (tenant) ID as it will be used in the Azure links.
Edit your Synapse config file and change the <code>oidc_config</code> section:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">oidc_providers:
- idp_id: microsoft
idp_name: Microsoft
issuer: &quot;https://login.microsoftonline.com/&lt;tenant id&gt;/v2.0&quot;

</code></pre>
<h3 id="apple"><a class="header" href="#apple">Apple</a></h3>
<p>Configuring &quot;Sign in with Apple&quot; (SiWA) requires an Apple Developer account.</p>
<p>You will need to create a new &quot;Services ID&quot; for SiWA, and create and download a
private key with &quot;SiWA&quot; enabled.</p>
<p>As well as the private key file, you will need:</p>
<ul>
<li>Client ID: the &quot;identifier&quot; you gave the &quot;Services ID&quot;</li>
<li>Team ID: a 10-character ID associated with your developer account.</li>
<li>Key ID: the 10-character identifier for the key.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://help.apple.com/developer-account/?lang=en#/dev77c875b7e">Apple's developer documentation</a>

<p>Facebook do have an <a href="https://www.facebook.com/.well-known/openid-configuration">OIDC discovery endpoint</a>,

<h3 id="mastodon"><a class="header" href="#mastodon">Mastodon</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a> instances provide an <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/oauth/">OAuth API</a>, allowing those instances to be used as a single sign-on provider for Synapse.</p>
<p>The first step is to register Synapse as an application with your Mastodon instance, using the <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/apps/#create">Create an application API</a> (see also <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/token/">here</a>). There are several ways to do this, but in the example below we are using CURL.</p>
<p>This example assumes that:</p>
<ul>
<li>the Mastodon instance website URL is <code>https://your.mastodon.instance.url</code>, and</li>
<li>Synapse will be registered as an app named <code>my_synapse_app</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Send the following request, substituting the value of <code>synapse_public_baseurl</code> from your Synapse installation.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">curl -d &quot;client_name=my_synapse_app&amp;redirect_uris=https://[synapse_public_baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback&quot; -X POST https://your.mastodon.instance.url/api/v1/apps
</code></pre>
<p>You should receive a response similar to the following. Make sure to save it.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{&quot;client_id&quot;:&quot;someclientid_123&quot;,&quot;client_secret&quot;:&quot;someclientsecret_123&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;12345&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;my_synapse_app&quot;,&quot;redirect_uri&quot;:&quot;https://[synapse_public_baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback&quot;,&quot;website&quot;:null,&quot;vapid_key&quot;:&quot;somerandomvapidkey_123&quot;}
</code></pre>
<p>As the Synapse login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and Mastodon's endpoint does not return a <code>sub</code> property, an alternative <code>subject_claim</code> has to be set. Your Synapse configuration should include the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">oidc_providers:
- idp_id: my_mastodon
idp_name: &quot;Mastodon Instance Example&quot;
discover: false
issuer: &quot;https://your.mastodon.instance.url/@admin&quot;

client_secret: &quot;someclientsecret_123&quot;

<p>Note that the fields <code>client_id</code> and <code>client_secret</code> are taken from the CURL response above.</p>
