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 Immich with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider in authentik​

  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 three Redirect URIs:
        • Strict Authorization app.immich:///oauth-callback
        • Strict Authorization https://immich.company/auth/login
        • Strict Authorization https://immich.company/user-settings
      • 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.
    • Configure Launch URL (optional): set the Launch URL to https://immich.company/auth/login?autoLaunch=1 to allow automatic login to Immich when clicking the application from within authentik.

  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Immich configuration​

  1. Log in to Immich as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Settings > OAuth Authentication.
  3. Enable OAuth and configure the following settings:
    • issuer_url: https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/
    • client_id: enter the Client ID from authentik.
    • client_secret: enter the Client Secret from authentik.
  4. Click Save.

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with Immich, open Immich and log in using OAuth. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then redirected back to Immich.
