Help with OpenID OIDC
-
Hey, sorry for the stupid question. Somehow I can't figure out how to start using OpenID.
Where can I find the creation of user id and clientsecret please?
By client application, is it meant for example Nextcloud?
In every application that would be connected via openID do I need to fill this in for each user?
Once again, I'm very sorry for my question, I guess I'm misunderstanding the whole thing.
Thank you very much for the information and advice. -
no sorry. no worries
If you don't understand it, it's a problem with the documentation on the Cloudron site https://docs.cloudron.io/user-management/#openid-connect But to be fair, the documentation can't explain every topic from Adam to Eve. So to get an idea of the fantastic new world of self-hosting, you need many different starting points to get the background and sometimes training.
This is imho the most important starting point to get motivated for OpenID connect https://openid.net/connect/But you found your way to a forum with friendly people who are willing to invest their lifetime to help other people on their way to self-hosting
- see if your app supports OpenID Connect. Not every app is suitable for OIC
- If yes, go to your Cloudron Dashboard as a user with the Admin role. Go to Users there. Scroll down and search for
OpenID Connect Provider. PressSettings - There you will find all necessary/corresponding settings for your app.
- Click
New Clientand enter the required information. You are free to use any super duper secrets generator. Most of the time I use something likeopenssl rand -hex 32in my terminal. - Save the Cloudron
New Clientand the settings page in your app. - Give it a try.
And: It is a general setting. You don't need to repeat it for each user.
If everything works in your app, share your findings with us in this thread https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8940/apps-with-openid-connect-provider-beta?_=1684065724619
