authentik configuration​

Redirect URI changes in authentik 2026.5

In authentik versions earlier than 2026.5, all Redirect URIs are automatically treated as Authorization type. If you are using one of these older authentik versions, add only the Authorization URL to your Redirect URIs and do not configure a Post Logout URI.

To support the integration of FileRise with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider​

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.

  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application 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.
      • Note the Slug value because it will be required later.
    • 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 and Client Secret values because they will be required later.
      • Add a Redirect URI of type Strict Authorization as https://filerise.company/api/auth/auth.php?oidc=callback.
      • 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 Application Dashboard page.

  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

FileRise configuration​

  1. Log in to FileRise as an administrator.
  2. Click on your profile icon in the upper-right corner, then select Admin Panel.
  3. Open the OIDC Configuration section.
  4. Enable OIDC login and configure the following settings:
    • OIDC Provider URL: https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/
    • OIDC Client ID: <Client ID from authentik>
    • OIDC Client Secret: <Client Secret from authentik>
    • OIDC Redirect URI: https://filerise.company/api/auth/auth.php?oidc=callback
  5. Click Save Settings.
  6. Click Test OIDC discovery to verify that FileRise can reach the authentik provider.

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with FileRise, log out and open the FileRise integration from authentik. On the FileRise login page, click Login with OIDC and authenticate with authentik.
