 ===== Authentication ===== ===== Authentication =====
 +
 +Authentication with LubeLogger took a bit to figure out. First of all, it's pretty unconventional in a few respects:
 +  * Authentication is disabled by default, but once you mess with it, it can be managed only from web settings and the environment setting seems to be unresponsive
 +  * It does not support forwarded headers or similar proxy based stuff
 +  * It support OIDC (Authelia...) SSO type authentication but it still requires you to setup local authentication first
 +  * It does allow multiple users, but only via email registration with tokens, you cannot add users from the admin control panel. This is probably the weirdest choice.
 +
 +You have different options:
 +  * disable LubeLogger auth and use your own proxy-based authentication, but you lose additional users
 +  * enable internal LubeLogger auth, and disable your proxy autnehtication, but you need to create users 
 +  * enable LubeLogger authentication with your OIDC SSO (es Authelia), but you still need to create your LubeLogger root account and you will not be able to use your proxy authentication, not even via the SSO itself.
 +
 +In general enabling LubeLogger authentication is a bit of a mess. First of all, it starts with authentication disabled. As stated [[https://docs.lubelogger.com/Installation/Authentication|here]] you need to go to settings and enable authentication in order to create a //root// user and setup a password. Also note that to add users you **must** setup an email provider and have LubeLogger send out a token to the new user email address. Very annoying.
 +
 +Instead, if you want to enable SSO, you need to setup the following environments in your docker compose:
 +<code>
 +MailConfig__EmailServer="" <- Email SMTP settings used only for configuring multiple users(to send their registration token and forgot password tokens)
 +MailConfig__EmailFrom="" <- Same as above.
 +MailConfig__Port=587 <- Same as above.
 +MailConfig__Username="" <- Same as above.
 +MailConfig__Password="" <- Same as above.
 +OpenIDConfig__Name=Authelia
 +OpenIDConfig__ClientId=lube
 +OpenIDConfig__ClientSecret=client-secret-string
 +OpenIDConfig__AuthURL=Authorization URL to the Provider's Login Page
 +OpenIDConfig__TokenURL=URL to retrieve user JWT from the Provider
 +OpenIDConfig__RedirectURL=https://lubelogger.mydomain.com/Login/RemoteAuth
 +OpenIDConfig__Scope="openid email"
 +OpenIDConfig__ValidateState=true/false(default: false) - whether LubeLogger should validate state.
 +OpenIDConfig__UsePKCE=true/false(default: false) - whether LubeLogger should use PKCE
 +</code>
 +
 +My specific Authelia client setting is:
 +<code>
 +      - client_id: 'lube'
 +        client_name: 'LubeLogger'
 +        client_secret: 'client-secret-string'
 +        public: false
 +        authorization_policy: 'one_factor'
 +        pre_configured_consent_duration: 1M
 +        scopes:
 +          - openid
 +          - email
 +          - profile
 +        grant_types:
 +          - 'authorization_code'
 +        redirect_uris:
 +          - https://lubelogger.mydomain.com/Login/RemoteAuth
 +        userinfo_signed_response_alg: none
 +        token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_post'
 +</code>
 +
 +I suggest you also setup email notification by creating a dedicated email address for LubeLogger to send out emails or you will **not** be able to add users.
 +
 +I choose to fully disable LubeLogger authentication and go with proxy authentication since i only need one user account no matter who is actually logged in.
