Preparation​

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

  • https://adventurelog.company is the FQDN of the AdventureLog server installation.
  • https://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 AdventureLog 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 admin, 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 Regex redirect URI to ^https://adventurelog.company/accounts/oidc/.*$.
    • Select any available signing key.
  • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.
  1. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

AdventureLog configuration​

info

localhost is unlikely to be a valid server_url because it refers to the server hosting AdventureLog, not authentik. Instead, use the IP address of the server running authentik or a domain name if available.

  1. Log in to your AdventureLog installation as an administrator and launch the Admin Panel. To do so, click your user avatar in the navigation bar, select Settings, then click Launch Admin Panel. Alternatively, visit https://adventurelog.company/admin.

  2. Scroll down to Social Accounts and click Add. Fill in the following fields:

    • Provider: OpenID Connect
    • Provider ID: Enter the Client ID from authentik
    • Name: authentik
    • Client ID: Enter the Client ID from authentik
    • Secret Key: Enter the Client Secret from authentik
    • Key: Leave this line blank
    • Under Settings:
      • server_url: https://authentik.company/application/o/your-application-slug/
      • Sites: move over the sites you want to enable authentik on, usually example.com and www.example.com unless you renamed your sites.

Linking to Existing Account​

If a user has an existing AdventureLog account and wants to link it to their authentik account, they can do so by logging in to their AdventureLog account and navigating to the Settings page. There is a button that says Launch Account Connections, click that and then choose the provider to link to the existing account.

Troubleshooting​

404 error when logging in.​

Ensure the https://adventurelog.company/accounts path is routed to the backend, as it shouldn't hit the frontend when it's properly configured. For information on how to configure this, refer to the AdventureLog documentation on reverse proxy configuration here.

authentik - No Permission​

Launch your authentik dashboard as an admin and find the AdventureLog app. Click More details then Edit. In the admin interface, click Test under Check Access. If you get a 403 error, you need to grant the user the correct permissions. This can be done by going to the user's profile and adding the correct permissions.

Configuration verification​

To confirm authentik is correctly integrated with AdventureLog, log out and attempt to log back in using OpenID Connect by clicking the authentik button on the AdventureLog login page.
