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="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.

Make note of your Directory (tenant) ID as it will be used in the Azure links.
