Nextcloud OIDC integration
-
@jdaviescoates I have published a new package with groups disabled. Can you please check?
@avatar1024 OIDC Group Sync has to be configured by the package installer just like LDAP Group Sync. Cloudron only exposes groups but does not provision the app (it's not possible for Cloudron to know what group should be what).
@firmansi we can't support both LDAP and OIDC in the long run. But on platform level, we already decided to switch to OIDC for all apps. This is more secure and auditable. I think you can probably wait for the upgrade anyway till all the issues are ironed out. Most of the apps that support OIDC have already been switched to OIDC from LDAP.

Hi @girish
So is there a solution to add users in the Nextcloud admin group with OIDC group mapping activated?
Group mapping works well but when I add users to the admin group from the Nextcloud user interface it doesn't work (as noted by @jdaviescoates earlier in this thread).

@avatar1024 it's working for me. But you can only edit/ update users that have logged in post updating to OIDC - it's like all the previous users don't really exist anymore.

@jdaviescoates Thanks! Have you activated group mapping / syncing though? For me it's not working. I cannot add myself to the admin group (and I have definitely logged in - in fact that's how I know I'm not an admin
). I can login with the "admin" user via the Nextcloud form but cannot add anyone else to the admin group, including myself. -

@jdaviescoates Yeah so it also works for me if I don't activate group mapping / syncing but I was asking if there is a solution to add admins users with that enabled.
On one instance we used LDAP groups syncing and so switching to OIDC we need to also sync groups...but then we also needs admins
Anyone got a clue?
PS: I've tried with my user who is a cloudron superadmin and with another user who is a Cloudron admin. None of them appear in the NC admin group or can be added to it.

@avatar1024 can nextcloud admin group have an arbitrary name or should it be admin(s) ? Since group sync is turned on, you have to create a such a group on Cloudron. The admins group is reserved in Cloudron, but this can be changed I think.

In NC the group name for Admins is "admin". You can't change that and you can't create another group with admin rights. And in Cloudron one cannot create a group called "admin" (as you say the name is reserved). It feels like either:
- Cloudron admins and Super admins should be mapped with the NC admin group
- OIDC group syncing should exclude syncing the NC admin group

@avatar1024 there is a "Group whitelist regex" field in the OIDC UI. Have you tried setting it to only the groups you care about? It says it supports regexp, but not sure if it supports lookahead regexps (ask chatgpt) . i.e match all groups that are not admin.

@joseph Thanks, that worked!
So far I haven't been able to allow all groups but exclude "admin", but when I only allow only a specific group then the admin group is not provisioned and works as expected.
-
Ok this regex to whitelist all groups except "admin" seems to work well
: ^(?!admin$).+$

Is there a way to lead logged-in Nextcloud OICD users from Logout back to the Cloudron login form in logged-out state?
Expected behaviour
- User is logged-in in Nextcloud
- User presses "Logout" in Nextcloud.
- User is logged out of the Nextcloud and from Cloudron.
- User sees the Cloudron login form.
What happens with ˋallow_user_multiple_backendsˋ set to value=0:
- User presses "Logout" in Nextcloud
- User is invisibly getting redirected to Cloudron login form that reports to the Nextcloud instance that user is logged-in.
- User ends up logged-in in Nextcloud.
This would be useful for instances where Nextcloud is the primarily hosted app. We have a server with Nextcloud and Collabora Office backend. There is usually no necessity for users to ever see the dashboard other than editing their profile.

I guess Nextcloud initiates the OpenID login redirection automatically in that case then. Since the user still has a login session with the OpenID provider (the Cloudron) it will auto-login.
Since the logout of Nextcloud itself is from the Nextcloud session, the OpenID provider has no clue about a logout event, so I don't think this is currently possible.
