# Authentik
[authentik](https://goauthentik.io/) is an open-source Identity Provider focused on flexibility and versatility. MASH can install authentik with the [`mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-authentik`](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-authentik) ansible role.
## Dependencies
This service requires the following other services:
- a [Postgres](postgres.md) database
- a [Redis](redis.md) data-store, installation details [below](#redis)
- a [Traefik](traefik.md) reverse-proxy server
## Configuration
To enable this service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# authentik #
# #
########################################################################
authentik_enabled: true
authentik_hostname: authentik.example.com
authentik_secret_key: 'verysecret'
########################################################################
# #
# /authentik #
# #
########################################################################
```
### Redis
As described on the [Redis](redis.md) documentation page, if you're hosting additional services which require Redis on the same server, you'd better go for installing a separate Redis instance for each service. See [Creating a Redis instance dedicated to authentik](#creating-a-redis-instance-dedicated-to-authentik).
If you're only running authentik on this server and don't need to use Redis for anything else, you can [use a single Redis instance](#using-the-shared-redis-instance-for-authentik).
#### Using the shared Redis instance for authentik
To install a single (non-dedicated) Redis instance (`mash-redis`) and hook authentik to it, add the following **additional** configuration:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# redis #
# #
########################################################################
redis_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /redis #
# #
########################################################################
########################################################################
# #
# authentik #
# #
########################################################################
# Base configuration as shown above
# Point authentik to the shared Redis instance
authentik_config_redis_hostname: "{{ redis_identifier }}"
# Make sure the authentik service (mash-authentik.service) starts after the shared Redis service (mash-redis.service)
authentik_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
- "{{ redis_identifier }}.service"
# Make sure the authentik container is connected to the container network of the shared Redis service (mash-redis)
authentik_container_additional_networks_custom:
- "{{ redis_identifier }}"
########################################################################
# #
# /authentik #
# #
########################################################################
```
This will create a `mash-redis` Redis instance on this host.
This is only recommended if you won't be installing other services which require Redis. Alternatively, go for [Creating a Redis instance dedicated to authentik](#creating-a-redis-instance-dedicated-to-authentik).
#### Creating a Redis instance dedicated to authentik
The following instructions are based on the [Running multiple instances of the same service on the same host](../running-multiple-instances.md) documentation.
Adjust your `inventory/hosts` file as described in [Re-do your inventory to add supplementary hosts](../running-multiple-instances.md#re-do-your-inventory-to-add-supplementary-hosts), adding a new supplementary host (e.g. if `authentik.example.com` is your main one, create `authentik.example.com-deps`).
Then, create a new `vars.yml` file for the
`inventory/host_vars/authentik.example.com-deps/vars.yml`:
```yaml
---
########################################################################
# #
# Playbook #
# #
########################################################################
# Put a strong secret below, generated with `pwgen -s 64 1` or in another way
# Various other secrets will be derived from this secret automatically.
mash_playbook_generic_secret_key: ''
# Override service names and directory path prefixes
mash_playbook_service_identifier_prefix: 'mash-authentik-'
mash_playbook_service_base_directory_name_prefix: 'authentik-'
########################################################################
# #
# /Playbook #
# #
########################################################################
########################################################################
# #
# redis #
# #
########################################################################
redis_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /redis #
# #
########################################################################
```
This will create a `mash-authentik-redis` instance on this host with its data in `/mash/authentik-redis`.
Then, adjust your main inventory host's variables file (`inventory/host_vars/authentik.example.com/vars.yml`) like this:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# authentik #
# #
########################################################################
# Base configuration as shown above
# Point authentik to its dedicated Redis instance
authentik_environment_variable_redis_host: mash-authentik-redis
authentik_environment_variable_redis_cache_host: mash-authentik-redis
# Make sure the authentik service (mash-authentik.service) starts after its dedicated Redis service (mash-authentik-redis.service)
authentik_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
- "mash-authentik-redis.service"
# Make sure the authentik container is connected to the container network of its dedicated Redis service (mash-authentik-redis)
authentik_container_additional_networks_custom:
- "mash-authentik-redis"
########################################################################
# #
# /authentik #
# #
########################################################################
```
## Installation
If you've decided to install a dedicated Redis instance for authentik, make sure to first do [installation](../installing.md) for the supplementary inventory host (e.g. `authentik.example.com-deps`), before running installation for the main one (e.g. `authentik.example.com`).
## Usage
After installation, you can go to the authentik URL, as defined in `authentik_hostname`. Set the admin password there and start adding applications and users! Refer to the [official documentation]() to learn how to integrate services. Below are some tested examples
### Grafana
To enable SSO for Grafana you should
* Create a new OAUTH provider in authentik called `grafana`
* Create an application also named `grafana` in authentik using this provider
* Add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the [installation](../installing.md) process (make sure to adjust `authentik.example.com`)
```yaml
grafana_environment_variables_additional_variables: |
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_ENABLED=true
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_NAME=authentik
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=COPIED-CLIENTID
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=COPIED-CLIENTSECRET
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_SCOPES=openid profile email
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_AUTH_URL=https://authentik.example.com/application/o/authorize/
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_TOKEN_URL=https://authentik.example.com/application/o/token/
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_API_URL=https://authentik.example.com/application/o/userinfo/
GF_AUTH_SIGNOUT_REDIRECT_URL=https://authentik.example.com/application/o/grafana/end-session/
# Optionally enable auto-login (bypasses Grafana login screen)
#GF_AUTH_OAUTH_AUTO_LOGIN="true"
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_ALLOW_ASSIGN_GRAFANA_ADMIN=true
# Optionally map user groups to Grafana roles
GF_AUTH_GENERIC_OAUTH_ROLE_ATTRIBUTE_PATH="contains(groups[*], 'Grafana Admins') && 'Admin' || contains(groups[*], 'Grafana Editors') && 'Editor' || 'Viewer'"
```
### Nextcloud
**The official documentation of authentik to connect nextcloud via SAML seems broken**
MASH can connect Nextcloud with authentik via OIDC. The setup is quite straightforward, refer to [this blogpost by Jack](https://blog.cubieserver.de/2022/complete-guide-to-nextcloud-oidc-authentication-with-authentik/) for a full explanation.
In short you shoudl
* Create a new provider in authentik and trimm the client secret to <64 characters
* Create an application in authentik using this provider
* Install the app `user_oidc` in Nextcloud
* Fill in the details from authentik in the app settings
**Troubleshooting**
If you encounter problems during login check (error message containes `SHA1 mismatch`) that
* Nextcloud users and authentik users do not have the same name -> if they do check `Use unique user ID` in the OIDC App settings
