## Before You Begin

{{% oidc-common %}}

### Assumptions

This example makes the following assumptions:

* __Application Root URL:__ `https://bookstack.example.com`
* __Authelia Root URL:__ `https://auth.example.com`
* __Client ID:__ `bookstack`
* __Client Secret:__ `insecure_secret`

*__Important Note:__ [BookStack] does not properly URL encode the secret per [RFC6749 Appendix B] at the time this
article was last modified (noted at the bottom). This means you'll either have to use only alphanumeric characters for
the secret or URL encode the secret yourself.*

[RFC6749 Appendix B]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#appendix-B

## Configuration

### Application

To configure [BookStack] to utilize Authelia as an [OpenID Connect 1.0] Provider:

1. Edit your .env file
2. Set the following values:
   1. AUTH_METHOD: `oidc`
   2. OIDC_NAME: `Authelia`
   3. OIDC_DISPLAY_NAME_CLAIMS: `name`
   4. OIDC_CLIENT_ID: `bookstack`
   5. OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET: `insecure_secret`
   6. OIDC_ISSUER: `https://auth.example.com`
   7. OIDC_ISSUER_DISCOVER: `true`

### Authelia

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

```yaml
identity_providers:
  oidc:
