Assumptions

This example makes the following assumptions:

• Application Root URL: https://nextcloud.example.com
• Authelia Root URL: https://auth.example.com
• Client ID: nextcloud
• Client Secret: insecure_secret

Important Note: it has been reported that some of the Nextcloud plugins do not properly encode the client secret. as such it's important to only use alphanumeric characters as well as the other RFC3986 Unreserved Characters. We recommend using the generating client secrets guidance above.

Configuration

Authelia

The following YAML configuration is an example Authelia client configuration for use with Nextcloud which will operate with the above example:

identity_providers:
  oidc:
    ## The other portions of the mandatory OpenID Connect 1.0 configuration go here.
    ## See: https://www.authelia.com/c/oidc
    clients:
    - id: 'nextcloud'

      public: false
      authorization_policy: 'two_factor'
