# OpenID Connect OmniAuth provider
GitLab can use [OpenID Connect](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html) as an OmniAuth provider.

To enable the OpenID Connect OmniAuth provider, you must register your application with an OpenID Connect provider.
The OpenID Connect will provide you with a client details and secret for you to use.
-1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.
-
- For Omnibus GitLab:
-
- ```sh
- sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
- ```
-
- For installations from source:
-
- ```sh
- cd /home/git/gitlab
- sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
- ```
-
- See [Initial OmniAuth Configuration](../../integration/omniauth.md#initial-omniauth-configuration) for initial settings.
-
-1. Add the provider configuration.

- For Omnibus GitLab:
-
- ```ruby
- gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
- { 'name' => 'openid_connect',
- 'label' => '<your_oidc_label>',
- 'args' => {

1. For the configuration above, change the values for the provider to match your OpenID Connect client setup. Use the following as a guide:
- - `<your_oidc_label>` is the label that will be displayed on the login page.
- - `<your_oidc_url>` (optional) is the URL that points to the OpenID Connect provider. For example, `https://example.com/auth/realms/your-realm`.
- If this value is not provided, the URL is constructed from the `client_options` in the following format: `<client_options.scheme>://<client_options.host>:<client_options.port>`.
- - If `discovery` is set to `true`, the OpenID Connect provider will try to auto discover the client options using `<your_oidc_url>/.well-known/openid-configuration`. Defaults to `false`.
- - `<uid_field>` (optional) is the field name from the `user_info` details that will be used as `uid` value. For example, `preferred_username`.
- If this value is not provided or the field with the configured value is missing from the `user_info` details, the `uid` will use the `sub` field.
- - `client_options` are the OpenID Connect client-specific options. Specifically:
-
- - `identifier` is the client identifier as configured in the OpenID Connect service provider.
- - `secret` is the client secret as configured in the OpenID Connect service provider.
- - `redirect_uri` is the GitLab URL to redirect the user to after successful login. For example, `http://example.com/users/auth/openid_connect/callback`.
- - `end_session_endpoint` (optional) is the URL to the endpoint that end the session (logout). Can be provided if auto-discovery disabled or unsuccessful.
-
- The following `client_options` are optional unless auto-discovery is disabled or unsuccessful:
-
- - `authorization_endpoint` is the URL to the endpoint that authorizes the end user.
- - `token_endpoint` is the URL to the endpoint that provides Access Token.
- - `userinfo_endpoint` is the URL to the endpoint that provides the user information.
- - `jwks_uri` is the URL to the endpoint where the Token signer publishes its keys.

+ - Supported values are:
+ - `basic` - HTTP Basic Authentication
+ - `jwt_bearer` - JWT based authentication (private key and client secret signing)
+ - `mtls` - Mutual TLS or X.509 certificate validation
+ - Any other value will POST the client id and secret in the request body
+ - If not specified, defaults to `basic`.
