<h1 id="configuring-synapse-to-authenticate-against-an-openid-connect-provider"><a class="header" href="#configuring-synapse-to-authenticate-against-an-openid-connect-provider">Configuring Synapse to authenticate against an OpenID Connect provider</a></h1>
<p>Synapse can be configured to use an OpenID Connect Provider (OP) for
authentication, instead of its own local password database.</p>
<p>Any OP should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code
flow. 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="oidc-back-channel-logout"><a class="header" href="#oidc-back-channel-logout">OIDC Back-Channel Logout</a></h2>
<p>Synapse supports receiving <a href="https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-backchannel-1_0.html">OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout</a> notifications.</p>
<p>This lets the OpenID Connect Provider notify Synapse when a user logs out, so that Synapse can end that user session.
This feature can be enabled by setting the <code>backchannel_logout_enabled</code> property to <code>true</code> in the provider configuration, and setting the following URL as destination for Back-Channel Logout notifications in your OpenID Connect Provider: <code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/backchannel_logout</code></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. Register a new application under
<em>App registrations</em> in the Azure AD management console. The RedirectURI for your
application should point to your matrix server:
<code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback</code></p>
<p>Go to <em>Certificates & secrets</em> 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 <code>oidc_config</code> section:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">oidc_providers:
- idp_id: microsoft
idp_name: Microsoft
issuer: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant id>/v2.0"

</code></pre>
<h3 id="dex"><a class="header" href="#dex">Dex</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/dexidp/dex">Dex</a> is a simple, open-source 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.</p>
<p>Follow the <a href="https://dexidp.io/docs/getting-started/">Getting Started guide</a>
to install Dex.</p>
<p>Edit <code>examples/config-dev.yaml</code> config file from the Dex repo to add a client:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">staticClients:

<h3 id="keycloak"><a class="header" href="#keycloak">Keycloak</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/#sso-protocols">Keycloak</a> is an opensource IdP maintained by Red Hat.</p>
<p>Keycloak supports OIDC Back-Channel Logout, which sends logout notification to Synapse, so that Synapse users get logged out when they log out from Keycloak.
This can be optionally enabled by setting <code>backchannel_logout_enabled</code> to <code>true</code> in the Synapse configuration, and by setting the "Backchannel Logout URL" in Keycloak.</p>
<p>Follow the <a href="https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started">Getting Started Guide</a> to install Keycloak and set up a realm.</p>

<h3 id="apple"><a class="header" href="#apple">Apple</a></h3>
<p>Configuring "Sign in with Apple" (SiWA) requires an Apple Developer account.</p>
<p>You will need to create a new "Services ID" for SiWA, and create and download a
private key with "SiWA" enabled.</p>
<p>As well as the private key file, you will need:</p>
<ul>
<li>Client ID: the "identifier" you gave the "Services ID"</li>
<li>Team ID: a 10-character ID associated with your developer account.</li>
<li>Key ID: the 10-character identifier for the key.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://help.apple.com/developer-account/?lang=en#/dev77c875b7e">Apple's developer documentation</a>
has more information on setting up SiWA.</p>
<p>The synapse config will look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - idp_id: apple
idp_name: Apple
issuer: "https://appleid.apple.com"
client_id: "your-client-id" # Set to the "identifier" for your "ServicesID"

client_secret_jwt_key:
key_file: "/path/to/AuthKey_KEYIDCODE.p8" # point to your key file
jwt_header:

kid: "KEYIDCODE" # Set to the 10-char Key ID
jwt_payload:

scopes: ["name", "email", "openid"]

<h3 id="django-oauth-toolkit"><a class="header" href="#django-oauth-toolkit">Django OAuth Toolkit</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/jazzband/django-oauth-toolkit">django-oauth-toolkit</a> is a
Django application providing out of the box all the endpoints, data and logic
needed to add OAuth2 capabilities to your Django projects. It supports
<a href="https://django-oauth-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oidc.html">OpenID Connect too</a>.</p>
<p>Configuration on Django's side:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add an application: <code>https://example.com/admin/oauth2_provider/application/add/</code> and choose parameters like this:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><code>Redirect uris</code>: <code>https://synapse.example.com/_synapse/client/oidc/callback</code></li>
<li><code>Client type</code>: <code>Confidential</code></li>
<li><code>Authorization grant type</code>: <code>Authorization code</code></li>
<li><code>Algorithm</code>: <code>HMAC with SHA-2 256</code></li>
</ul>
<ol start="2">
<li>
<p>You can <a href="https://django-oauth-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oidc.html#customizing-the-oidc-responses">customize the claims</a> Django gives to synapse (optional):</p>
<details>
<summary>Code sample</summary>
<pre><code class="language-python">class CustomOAuth2Validator(OAuth2Validator):

"first_name": request.user.first_name,
"last_name": request.user.last_name,
}
</code></pre>
</details>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Your synapse config is then:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">oidc_providers:

idp_name: "Django Example"
issuer: "https://example.com/o/"
client_id: "your-client-id" # CHANGE ME
client_secret: "your-client-secret" # CHANGE ME
scopes: ["openid"]
user_profile_method: "userinfo_endpoint" # needed because oauth-toolkit does not include user information in the authorization response
user_mapping_provider:
config:
localpart_template: "{{ user.email.split('@')[0] }}"
display_name_template: "{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}"
