Try to ship Authelia as the default IdP in the ocis binary

[micbar]

Description

We are trying to use Authelia as our default OpenIDConnect Provider.

There are ongoing efforts to bundle authelia and replace the kopano connect.

Reasoning

• The existing Feature Set is too small, even for the default use case (No MFA, No password reset)
• The community is moving towards Authelia
• Infinite Scale Team wants to contribute rather to a moving project like authelia
• Both communities could benefit from each other

We would like to encourage you to help testing and making this vision a reality!

Ongoing Tasks

• Code branch in ocis is available where we are trying to integrate GitHub - rhafer/ocis at authelia-experiment
• Authelia public issue Expose internal/* · Issue #5803 · authelia/authelia · GitHub

Authelia is the way to go, how will this work with an existing Authelia setup?

I have also spent a couple of hours writing a guide on how to get a working setup of Authelia, lldap, Caddy and oCIS working… seems like that was a waste of time now

You can still use authelia as an external IdP by not starting the ocis idp service. Like today.

People like you inspired us to go into that direction

Thank you, @micbar! Your post inspired me and I inspired the Linux Magazine Germany to write an article on Authelia. It’s been published a few days ago, and they mentioned the fact that ownCloud “is also looking into it” or similar.

I guess it’s not paywalled, they always hand out some articles completely free, thus: Have a nice read and let me know if there’s any mistakes in there. It’s german only, though.

Enjoy.
