### Assumptions

This example makes the following assumptions:

* __Application Root URL:__ `https://flower.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/`
  * This option determines the redirect URI in the format of
        `https://flower.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/login`.
        This means if you change this value, you need to update the redirect URI.
* __Authelia Root URL:__ `https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/`
* __Client ID:__ `flower`
* __Client Secret:__ `insecure_secret`

Some of the values presented in this guide can automatically be replaced with documentation variables.

## Configuration

### Authelia

The following YAML configuration is an example __Authelia__ [client configuration] for use with [Flower] which will operate with the application example:

```yaml {title="configuration.yml"}
identity_providers:
  oidc:
    ## The other portions of the mandatory OpenID Connect 1.0 configuration go here.
    ## See: https://www.authelia.com/c/oidc
    clients:
      - client_id: 'flower'
        client_name: 'Flower'
        client_secret: '$pbkdf2-sha512$310000$c8p78n7pUMln0jzvd4aK4Q$JNRBzwAo0ek5qKn50cFzzvE9RXV88h1wJn5KGiHrD0YKtZaR/nCb2CJPOsKaPK0hjf.9yHxzQGZziziccp6Yng'  # The digest of 'insecure_secret'.
        public: false
        authorization_policy: 'two_factor'
        redirect_uris:
          - 'https://flower.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/login'
        scopes:
          - 'openid'
          - 'email'
          - 'profile'
        userinfo_signed_response_alg: 'none'
        token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_post'
```

### Application


To configure [Flower] to utilize Authelia as an [OpenID Connect 1.0] Provider you have to update the `flowerconfig.py` configuration file and configure the `FLOWER_OAUTH2_AUTHELIA_BASE_URL` environment variable.

#### Configuration File

Add the following values to [Flower] `flowerconfig.py`:
```python
auth = '.*@{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}'
auth_provider = 'flower.views.auth.AutheliaLoginHandler'
oauth2_key = 'flower'
oauth2_secret = 'insecure_secret'
oauth2_redirect_uri = 'https://flower.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/login'
```

#### Environment Variables

Add the `FLOWER_OAUTH2_AUTHELIA_BASE_URL` environment variable and set it to Authelia Root URL:
``` bash
export FLOWER_OAUTH2_AUTHELIA_BASE_URL=https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}
```
