Desktop Client Login OIDC - no redirect to /.well-known/openid-configuration

Desktop
1

I installed owncloud and keycloak in docker. Login via web browser is working fine. But not via Desktop client. I followed this article https://doc.owncloud.com/server/10.11/admin_manual/configuration/user/oidc/oidc.html#set-up-service-discovery

After changing the .htaccess file under /mnt/data/files/.htaccess the desktop client login is not working

If I open https://[urlToMyOwncloud]/.well-known/openid-configuration I’m still being redirected to https://[urlToMyOwncloud]/apps/files

Expected behaviour

After providing the server url and loging in via OIDC I expect not seeing the “Reopen in Browser” dialog.

Actual behaviour

Tell us what happens instead
The login does not progress.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install keycloak and owncloud in docker with a named volumes persist files
  2. Add the owncloud client with the correct client-id and secrete by importing the example file
  3. Edit the .htaccess file in the owncloud docker container
  4. Try logging in via the desktop client

Hey,

from pure guessing i don’t think that this is the correct location of the file. I think the file location should be more something like this for example:

/var/www/html/owncloud/.htaccess

or similar depending where ownCloud has been installed to. I think it is also important that the web server is using .htaccess files in general and that the file system is a linux file system and not a file system of the windows host system.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply.

I added the lines

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule  ^/.well-known/openid-configuration  /index.php/apps/openidconnect/config  [P]

to the /var/www/html/owncloud/.htaccess file.

I’m not sure why I did not noticed that file before.
But the redirect behavior did not change.

I got it working by adding a custom location in my Nginx Proxy Manager.

location /.well-known/openid-configuration {
    rewrite ^ /index.php/apps/openidconnect/config permanent;
}

Not the solution I wanted but it works.
