< p > Synapse can be configured to use an OpenID Connect Provider (OP) for
authentication, instead of its own local password database.< / p >
< p > Any OP should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code
flow. There are a few options for that:< / p >
< ul >
< li >
< p > start a local OP. Synapse has been tested with < a href = "https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/" > Hydra< / a > and
< a href = "https://github.com/dexidp/dex" > Dex< / a > . Note that for an OP to work, it should be served under a
secure (HTTPS) origin. A certificate signed with a self-signed, locally
trusted CA should work. In that case, start Synapse with a < code > SSL_CERT_FILE< / code >
environment variable set to the path of the CA.< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > set up a SaaS OP, like < a href = "https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect" > Google< / a > , < a href = "https://auth0.com/" > Auth0< / a > or
< a href = "https://www.okta.com/" > Okta< / a > . Synapse has been tested with Auth0 and Google.< / p >
< / li >
< / ul >
< p > It may also be possible to use other OAuth2 providers which provide the
< a href = "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1" > authorization code grant type< / a > ,
such as < a href = "https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps" > Github< / a > .< / p >
< h2 id = "preparing-synapse" > < a class = "header" href = "#preparing-synapse" > Preparing Synapse< / a > < / h2 >
< p > The OpenID integration in Synapse uses the
< a href = "https://pypi.org/project/Authlib/" > < code > authlib< / code > < / a > library, which must be installed
as follows:< / p >
< ul >
< li >
< p > The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
provided by < code > matrix.org< / code > so no further action is needed.< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run < code > /path/to/env/bin/pip install matrix-synapse[oidc]< / code > to install the necessary dependencies.< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< p > For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
maintainer.< / p >
< / li >
< / ul >
< p > To enable the OpenID integration, you should then add a section to the < code > oidc_providers< / code >
setting in your configuration file.
See the < a href = "usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#oidc_providers" > configuration manual< / a > for some sample settings, as well as
the text below for example configurations for specific providers.< / p >
< h2 id = "oidc-back-channel-logout" > < a class = "header" href = "#oidc-back-channel-logout" > OIDC Back-Channel Logout< / a > < / h2 >
< p > Synapse supports receiving < a href = "https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-backchannel-1_0.html" > OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout< / a > notifications.< / p >
< p > This lets the OpenID Connect Provider notify Synapse when a user logs out, so that Synapse can end that user session.
This feature can be enabled by setting the < code > backchannel_logout_enabled< / code > property to < code > true< / code > in the provider configuration, and setting the following URL as destination for Back-Channel Logout notifications in your OpenID Connect Provider: < code > [synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/backchannel_logout< / code > < / p >
< h2 id = "sample-configs" > < a class = "header" href = "#sample-configs" > Sample configs< / a > < / h2 >
< p > Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.< / p >
< h3 id = "microsoft-azure-active-directory" > < a class = "header" href = "#microsoft-azure-active-directory" > Microsoft Azure Active Directory< / a > < / h3 >
< p > Azure AD can act as an OpenID Connect Provider. Register a new application under
< em > App registrations< / em > in the Azure AD management console. The RedirectURI for your
application should point to your matrix server:
< code > [synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback< / code > < / p >
< p > Go to < em > Certificates & secrets< / em > and register a new client secret. Make note of your
Directory (tenant) ID as it will be used in the Azure links.
