Configuration

Authelia

The following YAML configuration is an example Authelia client configuration for use with Open WebUI which will operate with the application 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:
      - client_id: 'open-webui'
        client_name: 'Open WebUI'
        client_secret: '$pbkdf2-sha512$310000$c8p78n7pUMln0jzvd4aK4Q$JNRBzwAo0ek5qKn50cFzzvE9RXV88h1wJn5KGiHrD0YKtZaR/nCb2CJPOsKaPK0hjf.9yHxzQGZziziccp6Yng'  # The digest of 'insecure_secret'.
        public: false
        authorization_policy: 'two_factor'
        require_pkce: true
        pkce_challenge_method: 'S256'
        redirect_uris:
          - 'https://ai.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/oauth/oidc/callback'
        scopes:
          - 'openid'
          - 'profile'
          - 'groups'
          - 'email'
        response_types:
          - 'code'
        grant_types:
          - 'authorization_code'
        access_token_signed_response_alg: 'none'
        userinfo_signed_response_alg: 'none'
        token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_basic'

Application

To configure Open WebUI there is one method, using the Environment Variables.

Environment Variables

{{< callout context="tip" title="Did you know?" icon="outline/rocket" >}} This configuration limits who can log in to those with the openwebui or openwebui-admin groups. This is configured via the OAUTH_ALLOWED_ROLES environment variable. Anyone with the openwebui-admin group will be an admin for the application. This is configured via the OAUTH_ADMIN_ROLES environment variable. {{< /callout >}}

To configure Open WebUI to utilize Authelia as an OpenID Connect 1.0 Provider, use the following environment variables:

Standard

WEBUI_URL=https://ai.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}
ENABLE_OAUTH_SIGNUP=true
OAUTH_MERGE_ACCOUNTS_BY_EMAIL=true
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=open-webui
