## What is pgAdmin
> pgAdmin is a management tool for PostgreSQL and derivative relational databases such as EnterpriseDB's EDB Advanced Server. It may be run either as a web or desktop application.
>
> -- https://www.pgadmin.org/
:::note
This is based on authentik 2024.12.2 and pgAdmin4 8.14
:::
## Preparation
The following placeholders are used in this guide:
- `pgadmin.company` is the FQDN of the pgAdmin installation.
- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik installation.
:::note
This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.
:::
## authentik configuration
To support the integration of pgAdmin with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.
### Create an application and provider in authentik
1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
2. Navigate to **Applications** > **Applications** and click **Create with Provider** to create an application and provider pair. (Alternatively you can first create a provider separately, then create the application and connect it with the provider.)
- **Application**: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
- **Choose a Provider type**: select **OAuth2/OpenID Connect** as the provider type.
- **Configure the Provider**: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
- Note the **Client ID**,**Client Secret**, and **slug** values because they will be required later.
- Set a `Strict` redirect URI to `https://pgadmin.company/oauth2/authorize`.
- Select any available signing key.
- **Configure Bindings** _(optional)_: you can create a [binding](/docs/add-secure-apps/flows-stages/bindings/) (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's **My applications** page.
3. Click **Submit** to save the new application and provider.
## pgAdmin OAuth Configuration
To configure OAuth in pgAdmin, you can either use the `config_local.py` file or set environment variables if you are deploying pgAdmin in a containerized setup.
### Using `config_local.py`
1. Locate or create the `config_local.py` file in the `/pgadmin4/` directory.
- If the file does not exist, create it manually.
2. Add the following configuration settings to `config_local.py`:
```python
AUTHENTICATION_SOURCES = ['oauth2', 'internal']
OAUTH2_AUTO_CREATE_USER = True
OAUTH2_CONFIG = [{
'OAUTH2_NAME': 'authentik',
'OAUTH2_DISPLAY_NAME': 'authentik',
'OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID': '<Client ID from authentik>',
'OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET': '<Client secret from authentik>',
'OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL': 'https://authentik.company/application/o/token/',
'OAUTH2_AUTHORIZATION_URL': 'https://authentik.company/application/o/authorize/',
'OAUTH2_API_BASE_URL': 'https://authentik.company/',
'OAUTH2_USERINFO_ENDPOINT': 'https://authentik.company/application/o/userinfo/',
'OAUTH2_SERVER_METADATA_URL': 'https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/.well-known/openid-configuration',
'OAUTH2_SCOPE': 'openid email profile',
'OAUTH2_ICON': '<Fontawesome icon key (e.g., fa-key)>',
'OAUTH2_BUTTON_COLOR': '<Hexadecimal color code for the login button>'
}]
```
3. Save the file and restart pgAdmin for the changes to take effect.
:::note
You must restart pgAdmin every time you make changes to `config_local.py`.

### Using Environment Variables for Containerized Deployments
For deployments using Docker or Kubernetes, you can configure OAuth using the following environment variables:
1. Set these environment variables in your container:
```bash
PGADMIN_CONFIG_AUTHENTICATION_SOURCES="['oauth2', 'internal']"
PGADMIN_CONFIG_OAUTH2_AUTO_CREATE_USER=True
PGADMIN_CONFIG_OAUTH2_CONFIG="[{'OAUTH2_NAME':'authentik','OAUTH2_DISPLAY_NAME':'Login with authentik','OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID':'<Client ID from authentik>','OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET':'<Client secret from authentik>','OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL':'https://authentik.company/application/o/token/','OAUTH2_AUTHORIZATION_URL':'https://authentik.company/application/o/authorize/','OAUTH2_API_BASE_URL':'https://authentik.company/','OAUTH2_USERINFO_ENDPOINT':'https://authentik.company/application/o/userinfo/','OAUTH2_SERVER_METADATA_URL':'https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/.well-known/openid-configuration','OAUTH2_SCOPE':'openid email profile','OAUTH2_ICON':'<Fontawesome icon key (e.g., fa-key)>','OAUTH2_BUTTON_COLOR':'<Hexadecimal color code for the login button>'}]"
```
### General Notes
- To **only allow OAuth2 login**, set:
```python
AUTHENTICATION_SOURCES = ['oauth2']
```
Ensure that you promote at least one user to an administrator before disabling the internal authentication.
- To **disable automatic user creation**, set:
```python
OAUTH2_AUTO_CREATE_USER = False
```
Setting this value to `False` disables automatic user creation. This ensures that only the first signed-in user is registered.
## Configuration verification
To confirm that authentik is properly configured with pgAdmin, log out and log back in via authentik. A new button should have appeared on the login page.
