In my usual fashion, this took a lot longer than I anticipated. I stumbled a couple of times during the video, and it gives you a chance to see how I adjust things. I hope it will be helpful to you all. I've been busy getting a lot of my stuff setup on Authentik over the past few weeks.

Since you have done some Free-IPA stuff, you can also federate Authentik with Free-IPA. I find the SUDO management, SSH key management and Password+OTP features of Free-IPA a must have for me.

No, I'm sorry, I don't. I haven't seen it since then, and I've setup Authentik for about 7 or 8 of my applications to give single sign on access. You might post it on their discussion, or search their discussions at github.com/goauthentik/authentik/discussions to see if anyone there can help you.

Love your work! Wondering if you can do a bit of an all encompassing video? So in my case, I have a cloudflare tunnel so as not to have ports open. External access through this works great. Internally, I have NPM running and PiHole - in PiHole I have the same DNS names as cloudflare above setup pointed to NPM - therefore getting full https support and accessing everything from the same URLS all the time. I am about to implement Authentik - but I cannot see a simple way to make the tunnels and NPM work together to then allow the authentik rules to come into play. I know I can ditch the tunnel and open ports, but I would prefer to keep this as well - love to hear your thoughts and your followers

After a recent password breech at work, we are now looking at ways to improve security. This piked my interest, but I was wondering if anyone has any links or other videos that show example use cases sort of thing for using this in a business environment, specifically currently using Active Directory. Like can this sit beside active directory and sync passwords and such, also will theis let me use MFA with Active Directory? Out current setup is Active Directory (Local) and It syncs to Google for Work/Gsuite/Google Apss or whatever name it has now days. WOuld be nice to be able to enable MFA for all users (around 40) and have a single authentication for everything like RDS, Intranet, pfsense, etc etc....

@AwesomeOpenSource

I don't have any real Active Directory experience. that said you should just ask the folks at Authentik. I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you what all it's capable of with respect to AD.

Would you consider doing an integration video for Nextcloud and Authentik , i tried setting it up some months ago but had issues with the authentication and SSO also had some weird redirections on the nextcloud resulting to a failure. Great content btw as always! Keep it up Edit : Account not provisioned. Your account is not provisioned, access to this service is thus not possible.

There are a couple of articles on setting it up. The thing that kept getting me was no matter what I selected to match on my current user and Authentik user wouldn't merge or connect up. I ended up using a different add-on in next cloud that then allows each user to go in and setup Social Login on their account. Kind ofa pain, but at least it provides SSO. If your users don't have any nextcloud account yet, then you can use the official add-on as it will provision one. You can also do the reverse and use nextcloud as your OIDC provider for other applications, which is pretty interesting to me.

I've followed your guide with nginx reverse proxy and tried to put authentic on the top of heimdal (dashy alternative) whats happening in my case is that after successful authentication authentic redirects me to local ip rather fqdm. Any tips what I might have done wrong?

In your authentic provider, you should have a place for a redirect URL, make sure to fill that with the fqdn. It can autofill sometimes, but sometimes it just guesses.

6 ай бұрын

When you say nginx with authelia, what are you looking for specifically?

TBH someone that "fiddles around" with something like Authentik doesn't need an introduction of the concept of "hidden" files in Linux! They should have a somewhat solid foundational knowledge about this concept of Linux in order to have any chance of having a running service. Maybe have at the start of video a short segment of what prior knowledge is recommended in order to be successful. Maybe make some videos of these basic topic and point to them if needed. IMO these little titbits of very basic stuff clutters the video a bit and that is why they are over 40 mins long.

@AwesomeOpenSource

7 ай бұрын

I somewhat agree, but I also know some people are semi-advanced users coming from Windows where hidden files are handled very differently. So I find it worth while to say the things we may find simple, as it may just help someone realize something they may not have been introduced to on another OS.
