OAuth2 providers

You can use some OAuth2 providers for logging into Wekan, for example:

You can ask your identity provider (LDAP, SAML etc) do they support adding OAuth2 application like Wekan.

GitLab providing OAuth2 login to Wekan

Thanks to derhelge who figured out GitLab login.

GitLab login related debugging

These are the settings (snap installation):

sudo snap set wekan oauth2-enabled='true'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-client-id='xxx'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-secret='xxx'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-server-url='https://gitlab.example.com/'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-auth-endpoint='oauth/authorize'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-userinfo-endpoint='oauth/userinfo'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-token-endpoint='oauth/token'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-id-map='sub'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-username-map='nickname'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-fullname-map='name'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-email-map='email'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-request-permissions='openid profile email'

And in GitLab you have to set the same scopes inside the created Application:

  • openid
  • profile
  • email

The redirect URL is described in the wekan wiki: https://wekan.example.com/_oauth/oidc

Rocket.Chat providing OAuth2 login to Wekan

So for someone using snap, it means creating a file /var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/override-setup-wizard.env (the name of the file itself could be anything as long as it has an .env extension) and setting its content to OVERWRITE_SETTING_Show_Setup_Wizard=completed

Then, restarting the server by systemctl restart snap.rocketchat-server.rocketchat-server.service

Also, if you have Rocket.Chat using LDAP/SAML/Google/etc for logging into Rocket.Chat, then same users can login to Wekan when Rocket.Chat is providing OAuth2 login to Wekan.

If there is existing username/password account in Wekan, OAuth2 merges both logins.

Snap

1) Install Rocket.Chat

Rocket.Chat Snap has Node at port 3000 and mongodb at port 27017.

sudo snap install rocketchat-server
sudo systemctl disable rocketchat-server.rocketchat-caddy
sudo systemctl stop rocketchat-server.rocketchat-caddy

2) Install Wekan

Wekan Snap has Node at port 3001 and MongoDB at port 27019.

sudo snap install wekan
sudo snap set wekan root-url='https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM'
sudo snap set wekan port='3001'
sudo snap set core refresh.schedule=02:00-04:00
sudo snap set wekan with-api='true'

Email settings ARE NOT REQUIRED, Wekan works without setting up Email.

sudo snap set wekan mail-url='smtps:https://user:[email protected]:453'
sudo snap set wekan mail-from='Wekan Boards <[email protected]>'

Edit Caddyfile:

sudo nano /var/snap/wekan/common/Caddyfile

Add Caddy config. This uses free Let's Encrypt SSL. You can also use free CloudFlare wildcard SSL or any other SSL cert.

boards.yourdomain.com {
        proxy / localhost:3001 {
          websocket
          transparent
        }
}

chat.yourdomain.com {
        proxy / localhost:3000 {
          websocket
          transparent
        }
}

Enable Wekan's Caddy:

sudo snap set wekan caddy-enabled='true'

3) Add Rocket.Chat settings

Login to Rocket.Chat at https://chat.yourdomain.com .

Accept chat URL to be https://chat.yourdomain.com .

Client ID: abcde12345         <=== Rocket.Chat generates random text to here
Client Secret: 54321abcde     <=== Rocket.Chat generates random text to here
Authorization URL: https://CHAT.YOURDOMAIN.COM/oauth/authorize
Access Token URL: https://CHAT.YOURDOMAIN.COM/oauth/token

Save Changes.

4) Add Wekan settings

Copy below commands to auth.sh textfile, make it executeable chmod +x auth.sh and run it with ./auth.sh.

CHANGE BELOW ONLY THOSE THAT ARE UPPER CASE, AND URLs TO LOWER CASE.

sudo snap set wekan oauth2-username-map='preffered_username'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-fullname-map='preffered_username'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-email-map='email'

If login does not work, debug it

Auth0

Auth0 can provide PasswordlessEmail/Google/Facebook/LinkedIn etc login options to Wekan.

1) Auth0 / Applications / Add / Regular Web Application / Auth0 Settings

CHANGE BELOW ONLY THOSE THAT ARE UPPER CASE, AND URLs TO LOWER CASE.

Client ID:                                 <== Copy to below snap settings
Secret:                                    <== Copy to below snap settings

Application Logo:                          <== Add your logo
Application Type: Single Page Application
Token Endpoint Authentication Method: Post
Allowed Callback URLs: https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM/_oauth/oidc  <== Change your Wekan address
Allowed Web Origins: https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM                <== Change your Wekan address
Use Auth0 instead of the IdP to do Single Sign On: [X]

If you need more info, they are at bottom of the page Advanced Settings / Endpoint / OAuth

  1. Auth0 Dashboard => Rules => Add Rule

CHANGE BELOW ONLY THOSE THAT ARE UPPER CASE, AND URLs TO LOWER CASE.

Rule Name: Encrich Wekan login

  function (user, context, callback) {
    // Only use this rule for Auth0 Dashboard / Applications / WekanApplication
    if(context.clientName !== 'YOUR-APPLICATION-NAME'){
      return callback(null, user, context);
    }
    user.user_metadata = user.user_metadata || {};
    var ns = "https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM/";
    context.idToken[ns + "id"] = user.user_id;
    context.idToken[ns + "email"] = user.email;
    context.idToken[ns + "name"] = user.name || user.user_metadata.name;
    context.idToken[ns + "picture"] = user.picture;
    callback(null, user, context);
  }

3) Snap settings, change to it from above client-id, secret, server-url and web-origin (=namespace for rules function above).

Note: namespace works for multiple apps. For example, you can use same namespace url for many different wekan board apps that have different client-id etc, and different board url, and still use same namespace url like https://boards.example.com .

CHANGE BELOW ONLY THOSE THAT ARE UPPER CASE.

sudo snap set wekan oauth2-client-id='YOUR-CLIENT-ID'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-secret='YOUR-SECRET'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-server-url='https://YOURACCOUNT.eu.auth0.com'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-auth-endpoint='/authorize'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-userinfo-endpoint='/userinfo'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-token-endpoint='/oauth/token'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-id-map='https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM/id'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-username-map='https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM/email'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-fullname-map='https://BOARDS.YOURDOMAIN.COM/name'
sudo snap set wekan oauth2-email-map='https://BOARDS.EXAMPLE.COM/email'

For login to work, you need to:

  • Create first Admin user
  • Add other users with REST API or Password registration
  • Login with OIDC button
  • Have Auth0 configured for passwordless email login (on some other login)

4) Auth0 ID provider to Custom OAuth RocketChat

These do work currently so that Auth0 passwordless login to RocketChat does work, but there is some additional code also that is not added as PR to RocketChat yet. Code mainly has generating custom authorization cookie from user email with addition to RocketChat API, and using it and login_token + rc_token to check on RocketChat login page using router repeating trigger so that if those cookies exist then automatically login user in using RocketChat Custom OAuth2.

CHANGE BELOW ONLY THOSE THAT ARE UPPER CASE, AND URLs TO LOWER CASE.
