+### Authentik
+
+[Authentik][authentik] is an open-source IdP solution.
+
+1. Create a provider in Authentik, with type OAuth2/OpenID.
+2. The parameters are:
+- Client Type: Confidential
+- JWT Algorithm: RS256
+- Scopes: OpenID, Email and Profile
+- RSA Key: Select any available key
+- Redirect URIs: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`
+3. Create an application for synapse in Authentik and link it to the provider.
+4. Note the slug of your application, Client ID and Client Secret.
+
+Synapse config:
+```yaml
+oidc_providers:
+  - idp_id: authentik
+    idp_name: authentik
+    discover: true
+    issuer: "https://your.authentik.example.org/application/o/your-app-slug/" # TO BE FILLED: domain and slug
+    client_id: "your client id" # TO BE FILLED
+    client_secret: "your client secret" # TO BE FILLED
+    scopes:
+      - "openid"
+      - "profile"
+      - "email"
+    user_mapping_provider:
+      config:
+        localpart_template: "{{ user.preferred_username }}}"
+        display_name_template: "{{ user.preferred_username|capitalize }}" # TO BE FILLED: If your users have names in Authentik and you want those in Synapse, this should be replaced with user.name|capitalize.
+```
+
 ### GitHub
 
 [GitHub][github-idp] is a bit special as it is not an OpenID Connect compliant provider, but
