## Preparation

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

- `firezone.company` is the FQDN of the Firezone installation.
- `authentik` is the unique ID used to generate logins for this provider.
- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik installation.

Create an OAuth2/OpenID provider with the following parameters:

- Client type: `Confidential`
- Redirect URIs/Origins: `Redirect URI from Firezone Config`
- Signing Key: `<Select your certificate>`
- Click: `Finish`

Note the Client ID and Client Secret value. Create an application using the provider you've created above.

## Firezone Config

- Click _Security_ under Settings
- Under _Single Sign-On_, click on _Add OpenID Connect Provider_
- Config ID: `authentik`
- Label: `Text to display on the Login button`
- Scope: `(leave default of "openid email profile")`
- Response type: `(leave default of 'code')
- Client ID: `Taken from Authentik Provider Config`
- Client Secret: `Taken from Authentik Provider Config`
- Discovery Document URI: `OpenID Configuration URL from Authentik`
- Redirect URI: `https://firezone.company/auth/oidc/<ConfigID>/callback/`
  :::note
  You should be able to leave the default Rediret URL
  :::
- Auto-create Users: Enabled in order to automatically provision users when signing in the first time.
- Click _Save_,

Although local authentication is quick and easy to get started with, you can limit attack surface by disabling local authentication altogether. For production deployments it's usually a good idea to disable local authentication and enforce MFA through authentik.

:::info
In case something goes wrong with the configuration, you can temporarily re-enable local authentication via the REST API or by following instructions from https://www.firezone.dev/docs/administer/troubleshoot/#re-enable-local-authentication-via-cli.
