## Tested Versions

* [Authelia]

* [Synology DSM]
  * v7.1
  * v7.2

{{% oidc-common %}}

### Specific Notes

{{< callout context="caution" title="Important Note" icon="outline/alert-triangle" >}}
[Synology DSM] does not support automatically creating users via [OpenID Connect 1.0]. It is therefore
recommended that you ensure Authelia and [Synology DSM] share an LDAP server (for DSM v7.1).
With DSM v7.2+ you have the possibility to also use local DSM accounts (see `Account type` below) and do not need to set
up a shared LDAP.

### Assumptions

This example makes the following assumptions:

* __Application Root URL:__ `https://dsm.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/`
* __Authelia Root URL:__ `https://{{< sitevar name="subdomain-authelia" nojs="auth" >}}.{{< sitevar name="domain" nojs="example.com" >}}/`
* __Client ID:__ `synology-dsm`
* __Client Secret:__ `insecure_secret`

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