# Configuring Synapse to authenticate against an OpenID Connect provider
|
|
|
|
Synapse can be configured to use an OpenID Connect Provider (OP) for
|
|
authentication, instead of its own local password database.
|
|
|
|
Any OP should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code
|
|
flow. There are a few options for that:
|
|
|
|
- start a local OP. Synapse has been tested with [Hydra][hydra] and
|
|
[Dex][dex-idp]. 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 `SSL_CERT_FILE`
|
|
environment variable set to the path of the CA.
|
|
|
|
- set up a SaaS OP, like [Google][google-idp], [Auth0][auth0] or
|
|
[Okta][okta]. Synapse has been tested with Auth0 and Google.
|
|
|
|
It may also be possible to use other OAuth2 providers which provide the
|
|
[authorization code grant type](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1),
|
|
such as [Github][github-idp].
|
|
|
|
[google-idp]: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect
|
|
[auth0]: https://auth0.com/
|
|
[okta]: https://www.okta.com/
|
|
[dex-idp]: https://github.com/dexidp/dex
|
|
[keycloak-idp]: https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/#sso-protocols
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Preparing Synapse
|
|
|
|
The OpenID integration in Synapse uses the
|
|
[`authlib`](https://pypi.org/project/Authlib/) library, which must be installed
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
* The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
|
|
provided by `matrix.org` so no further action is needed.
|
|
|
|
* If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run `/path/to/env/bin/pip
|
|
install matrix-synapse[oidc]` to install the necessary dependencies.
|
|
|
|
* For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
|
|
maintainer.
|
|
|
|
To enable the OpenID integration, you should then add a section to the `oidc_providers`
|
|
setting in your configuration file (or uncomment one of the existing examples).
|
|
See [sample_config.yaml](./sample_config.yaml) for some sample settings, as well as
|
|
the text below for example configurations for specific providers.
|
|
|
|
## Sample configs
|
|
|
|
Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.
|
|
|
|
### Microsoft Azure Active Directory
|
|
Azure AD can act as an OpenID Connect Provider. Register a new application under
|
|
*App registrations* in the Azure AD management console. The RedirectURI for your
|
|
application should point to your matrix server: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
|
|
|
|
Go to *Certificates & secrets* 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 `oidc_config` section:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: microsoft
|
|
idp_name: Microsoft
|
|
issuer: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant id>/v2.0"
|
|
client_id: "<client id>"
|
|
client_secret: "<client secret>"
|
|
scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
|
|
authorization_endpoint: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant id>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize"
|
|
token_endpoint: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant id>/oauth2/v2.0/token"
|
|
userinfo_endpoint: "https://graph.microsoft.com/oidc/userinfo"
|
|
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
localpart_template: "{{ user.preferred_username.split('@')[0] }}"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### [Dex][dex-idp]
|
|
|
|
[Dex][dex-idp] is a simple, open-source, certified OpenID Connect Provider.
|
|
Although it is designed to help building a full-blown provider with an
|
|
external database, it can be configured with static passwords in a config file.
|
|
|
|
Follow the [Getting Started guide](https://dexidp.io/docs/getting-started/)
|
|
to install Dex.
|
|
|
|
Edit `examples/config-dev.yaml` config file from the Dex repo to add a client:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
staticClients:
|
|
- id: synapse
|
|
secret: secret
|
|
redirectURIs:
|
|
- '[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback'
|
|
name: 'Synapse'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run with `dex serve examples/config-dev.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
Synapse config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: dex
|
|
idp_name: "My Dex server"
|
|
skip_verification: true # This is needed as Dex is served on an insecure endpoint
|
|
issuer: "http://127.0.0.1:5556/dex"
|
|
client_id: "synapse"
|
|
client_secret: "secret"
|
|
scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
localpart_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name|capitalize }}"
|
|
```
|
|
### [Keycloak][keycloak-idp]
|
|
|
|
[Keycloak][keycloak-idp] is an opensource IdP maintained by Red Hat.
|
|
|
|
Follow the [Getting Started Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started) to install Keycloak and set up a realm.

|
### [Auth0][auth0]
|
|
|
|
1. Create a regular web application for Synapse
|
|
2. Set the Allowed Callback URLs to `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
|
|
3. Add a rule to add the `preferred_username` claim.
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Code sample</summary>
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
function addPersistenceAttribute(user, context, callback) {
|
|
user.user_metadata = user.user_metadata || {};
|
|
user.user_metadata.preferred_username = user.user_metadata.preferred_username || user.user_id;
|
|
context.idToken.preferred_username = user.user_metadata.preferred_username;
|
|
|
|
auth0.users.updateUserMetadata(user.user_id, user.user_metadata)
|
|
.then(function(){
|
|
callback(null, user, context);
|
|
})
|
|
.catch(function(err){
|
|
callback(err);
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
Synapse config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: auth0
|
|
idp_name: Auth0
|
|
issuer: "https://your-tier.eu.auth0.com/" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
localpart_template: "{{ user.preferred_username }}"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GitHub
|
|
|
|
GitHub is a bit special as it is not an OpenID Connect compliant provider, but
|
|
just a regular OAuth2 provider.
|
|
|
|
The [`/user` API endpoint](https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-the-authenticated-user)
|
|
can be used to retrieve information on the authenticated user. As the Synapse
|
|
login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and that endpoint
|
|
does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set.
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new OAuth application: https://github.com/settings/applications/new.
|
|
2. Set the callback URL to `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`.
|
|
|
|
Synapse config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: github
|
|
idp_name: Github
|
|
idp_brand: "org.matrix.github" # optional: styling hint for clients
|
|
discover: false
|
|
issuer: "https://github.com/"
|
|
client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
authorization_endpoint: "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize"
|
|
token_endpoint: "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token"
|
|
userinfo_endpoint: "https://api.github.com/user"
|
|
scopes: ["read:user"]
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
subject_claim: "id"
|
|
localpart_template: "{{ user.login }}"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### [Google][google-idp]
|
|
|
|
1. Set up a project in the Google API Console (see
|
|
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect#appsetup).
|
|
2. add an "OAuth Client ID" for a Web Application under "Credentials".
|
|
3. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret, and add the following to your synapse config:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: google
|
|
idp_name: Google
|
|
idp_brand: "org.matrix.google" # optional: styling hint for clients
|
|
issuer: "https://accounts.google.com/"
|
|
client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
localpart_template: "{{ user.given_name|lower }}"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
```
|
|
4. Back in the Google console, add this Authorized redirect URI: `[synapse
|
|
public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`.
|
|
|
|
### Twitch
|
|
|
|
1. Setup a developer account on [Twitch](https://dev.twitch.tv/)
|
|
2. Obtain the OAuth 2.0 credentials by [creating an app](https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps/)
|
|
3. Add this OAuth Redirect URL: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
|
|
|
|
Synapse config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: twitch
|
|
idp_name: Twitch
|
|
issuer: "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/"
|
|
client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_auth_method: "client_secret_post"
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
localpart_template: "{{ user.preferred_username }}"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GitLab
|
|
|
|
1. Create a [new application](https://gitlab.com/profile/applications).
|
|
2. Add the `read_user` and `openid` scopes.
|
|
3. Add this Callback URL: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
|
|
|
|
Synapse config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
oidc_providers:
|
|
- idp_id: gitlab
|
|
idp_name: Gitlab
|
|
idp_brand: "org.matrix.gitlab" # optional: styling hint for clients
|
|
issuer: "https://gitlab.com/"
|
|
client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_auth_method: "client_secret_post"
|
|
scopes: ["openid", "read_user"]
|
|
user_profile_method: "userinfo_endpoint"
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
localpart_template: '{{ user.nickname }}'
|
|
display_name_template: '{{ user.name }}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Facebook
|
|
|
|
Like Github, Facebook provide a custom OAuth2 API rather than an OIDC-compliant
|
|
one so requires a little more configuration.
|
|
|
|
0. You will need a Facebook developer account. You can register for one
|
|
[here](https://developers.facebook.com/async/registration/).
|
|
1. On the [apps](https://developers.facebook.com/apps/) page of the developer
|
|
console, "Create App", and choose "Build Connected Experiences".
|
|
2. Once the app is created, add "Facebook Login" and choose "Web". You don't
|
|
need to go through the whole form here.
|
|
3. In the left-hand menu, open "Products"/"Facebook Login"/"Settings".
|
|
* Add `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback` as an OAuth Redirect
|
|
URL.
|
|
4. In the left-hand menu, open "Settings/Basic". Here you can copy the "App ID"
|
|
and "App Secret" for use below.
|
|
|
|
Synapse config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- idp_id: facebook
|
|
idp_name: Facebook
|
|
idp_brand: "org.matrix.facebook" # optional: styling hint for clients
|
|
discover: false
|
|
issuer: "https://facebook.com"
|
|
client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
|
|
scopes: ["openid", "email"]
|
|
authorization_endpoint: https://facebook.com/dialog/oauth
|
|
token_endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com/v9.0/oauth/access_token
|
|
user_profile_method: "userinfo_endpoint"
|
|
userinfo_endpoint: "https://graph.facebook.com/v9.0/me?fields=id,name,email,picture"
|
|
user_mapping_provider:
|
|
config:
|
|
subject_claim: "id"
|
|
display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
|
|
```
