Authelia supports OpenID Connect as part of an open beta. This section details implementation specifics that can be used for integrating Authelia with relying parties, as well as specific documentation for some relying parties.

See the configuration documentation for information on how to configure OpenID Connect.

Scope Definitions

openid

This is the default scope for openid. This field is forced on every client by the configuration validation that Authelia does.

Important Note: The subject identifiers or sub claim has been changed to a RFC4122 UUID V4 to identify the individual user as per the Subject Identifier Types specification. Please use the claim preferred_username instead.

Claim JWT Type Authelia Attribute Description
iss string hostname The issuer name, determined by URL
jti string(uuid) N/A A RFC4122 UUID V4 representing the JWT Identifier
rat number N/A The time when the token was requested
exp number N/A Expires
iat number N/A The time when the token was issued
auth_time number N/A The time the user authenticated with Authelia
sub string(uuid) opaque id A RFC4122 UUID V4 linked to the user who logged in
scope string scopes Granted scopes (space delimited)
scp array[string] scopes Granted scopes
aud array[string] N/A Audience
amr array[string] N/A An RFC8176 list of authentication method reference values
azp string id (client) The authorized party
client_id string id (client) The client id

groups

This scope includes the groups the authentication backend reports the user is a member of in the token.

Claim JWT Type Authelia Attribute Description
groups array[string] groups List of user's groups discovered via authentication

email

This scope includes the email information the authentication backend reports about the user in the token.

Claim JWT Type Authelia Attribute Description
email string email[0] The first email address in the list of emails
email_verified bool N/A If the email is verified, assumed true for the time being
alt_emails array[string] email[1:] All email addresses that are not in the email JWT field

profile

This scope includes the profile information the authentication backend reports about the user in the token.

Claim JWT Type Authelia Attribute Description
preferred_username string username The username the user used to login with
name string display_name The users display name

Authentication Method References

Authelia currently supports adding the amr claim to the ID Token utilizing the RFC8176 Authentication Method Reference values.

The values this claim has are not strictly defined by the OpenID Connect specification. As such, some backends may expect a specification other than RFC8176 for this purpose. If you have such an application and wish for us to support it then you're encouraged to create an issue.

Below is a list of the potential values we place in the claim and their meaning:

Value Description Factor Channel
mfa User used multiple factors to login (see factor column) N/A N/A
mca User used multiple channels to login (see channel column) N/A N/A
user User confirmed they were present when using their hardware key N/A N/A
pin User confirmed they are the owner of the hardware key with a pin N/A N/A
pwd User used a username and password to login Know Browser
otp User used TOTP to login Have Browser
hwk User used a hardware key to login Have Browser
sms User used Duo to login Have External

Endpoint Implementations

The following section documents the endpoints we implement and their respective paths. This information can traditionally be discovered by relying parties that utilize OpenID Connect Discovery, however this information may be useful for clients which do not implement this.

The endpoints can be discovered easily by visiting the Discovery and Metadata endpoints. It is recommended regardless of your version of Authelia that you utilize this version as it will always produce the correct endpoint URLs. The paths for the Discovery/Metadata endpoints are part of IANA's well known registration but are also documented in a table below.

These tables document the endpoints we currently support and their paths in the most recent version of Authelia. The paths are appended to the end of the primary URL used to access Authelia. The tables use the url https://auth.example.com as an example of the Authelia root URL which is also the OpenID Connect issuer.

Well Known Discovery Endpoints

These endpoints can be utilized to discover other endpoints and metadata about the Authelia OP.

Endpoint Path
OpenID Connect Discovery https://auth.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata https://auth.example.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Discoverable Endpoints

These endpoints implement OpenID Connect elements.
