# 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
[hydra]: https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/
[github-idp]: https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps
## 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 an `oidc_config` section
to your configuration file (or uncomment the `enabled: true` line in the
existing section). 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_config:
enabled: true
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_config:
enabled: true
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.
1. Click `Clients` in the sidebar and click `Create`
2. Fill in the fields as below:
| Field | Value |
|-----------|-----------|
| Client ID | `synapse` |
| Client Protocol | `openid-connect` |
3. Click `Save`
4. Fill in the fields as below:
| Field | Value |
|-----------|-----------|
| Client ID | `synapse` |
| Enabled | `On` |
| Client Protocol | `openid-connect` |
| Access Type | `confidential` |
| Valid Redirect URIs | `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback` |
5. Click `Save`
6. On the Credentials tab, update the fields:
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Client Authenticator | `Client ID and Secret` |
7. Click `Regenerate Secret`
8. Copy Secret
```yaml
oidc_config:
enabled: true
issuer: "https://127.0.0.1:8443/auth/realms/{realm_name}"
client_id: "synapse"
client_secret: "copy secret generated from above"
scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
```
### [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_config:
enabled: true
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_config:
enabled: true
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_config:
enabled: true
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_config:
enabled: true
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_config:
enabled: true
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 }}'
```
