* __Authelia Root URL:__ `https://auth.example.com`
* __Client ID:__ `synology-dsm`
* __Client Secret:__ `insecure_secret`

1. Go to DSM.
2. Go to `Control Panel`.
3. Go To `Domain/LDAP`.

### Authelia

The following YAML configuration is an example __Authelia__
[client configuration](../../../configuration/identity-providers/open-id-connect.md#clients) for use with [Synology DSM]
which will operate with the above example:

```yaml
identity_providers:
  oidc:
    ## The other portions of the mandatory OpenID Connect 1.0 configuration go here.
