info

This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.

authentik configuration​

Redirect URI changes in authentik 2026.5

In authentik versions earlier than 2026.5, all Redirect URIs are automatically treated as Authorization type. If you are using one of these older authentik versions, add only the Authorization URL to your Redirect URIs and do not configure a Post Logout URI.

To support the integration of Gravitee with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider​

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application to open the application wizard.
    • Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings. Note the Slug value because it will be required later.
    • Choose a Provider type: select OAuth2/OpenID Connect as the provider type.
    • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
      • Note the Client ID and Client Secret values because they will be required later.
      • Add a Redirect URI of type Strict Authorization for each Gravitee UI that will use authentik:
        • Management Console: https://gravitee.company/console/
        • Developer Portal: https://gravitee.company/user/login
      • If your Developer Portal is served from a different path, use its login route instead, such as https://gravitee.company/classic/user/login or https://gravitee.company/next/log-in.
      • Select any available signing key.
    • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's Application Dashboard page.
  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Gravitee configuration​

  1. Log in to the Gravitee Management Console as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Organization > Console > Authentication.
  3. Click + Add an identity provider.
  4. Select OpenID Connect as the provider type.
  5. Configure the following settings:
    • Name: authentik
    • Allow portal authentication to use this identity provider: enable this option if Developer Portal users should be able to log in with authentik.
    • Client ID: enter the Client ID from authentik.
    • Client Secret: enter the Client Secret from authentik.
    • Token Endpoint: https://authentik.company/application/o/token/
    • Authorize Endpoint: https://authentik.company/application/o/authorize/
    • UserInfo Endpoint: https://authentik.company/application/o/userinfo/
    • UserInfo Logout Endpoint: https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/end-session/
    • Scopes: openid profile email
    • User profile mapping:
      • ID: sub
      • First name: given_name
      • Email: email
  6. Click Create.
  7. Return to the identity provider list and enable Activate Identity Provider for the authentik provider.

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with Gravitee, open Gravitee and click the authentik login option. Verify that you are redirected to authentik for authentication and then back to Gravitee.
