## Configuration

### Authelia

The following YAML configuration is an example __Authelia__ [client configuration] for use with [Node-RED] 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: 'node-red'
        client_name: 'Node-RED'
        client_secret: '$pbkdf2-sha512$310000$c8p78n7pUMln0jzvd4aK4Q$JNRBzwAo0ek5qKn50cFzzvE9RXV88h1wJn5KGiHrD0YKtZaR/nCb2CJPOsKaPK0hjf.9yHxzQGZziziccp6Yng'  # The digest of 'insecure_secret'.
        authorization_policy: 'two_factor'
        require_pkce: true
        pkce_challenge_method: 'S256'
        redirect_uris:
          - 'https://node-red.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/auth/strategy/callback/'
        scopes:
          - 'openid'
          - 'email'
          - 'profile'
          - 'groups'
        userinfo_signed_response_alg: 'none'
        token_endpoint_auth_method: 'client_secret_post'
```

### Application

To configure [Node-RED] to utilize Authelia as an [OpenID Connect 1.0] Provider:

1. Install the `passport-openidconnect` npm package.
2. Use the following `settings.js` configuration:

```js
adminAuth: {
    type: 'strategy',
    strategy: {
        name: 'openidconnect',
        label: 'Sign in with Authelia',
        icon: 'fa-openid',
        strategy: require('passport-openidconnect').Strategy,
        options: {
            issuer: 'https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}',
            authorizationURL: 'https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/api/oidc/authorization',
            tokenURL: 'https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/api/oidc/token',
            userInfoURL: 'https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/api/oidc/userinfo',
            clientID: 'node-red',
            clientSecret: 'insecure_secret',
            callbackURL: 'https://node-red.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/auth/strategy/callback/',
            scope: ['openid', 'email', 'profile', 'groups'],
            proxy: true,
            verify: function(issuer, profile, done) {
                done(null, profile)
            }
        }
    },
    users: function(user) {
        return Promise.resolve({ username: user, permissions: "*" });
    }
},
```
