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 GlitchTip 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 you will use it when configuring GlitchTip.
    • 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 as https://glitchtip.company/accounts/oidc/authentik/login/callback/.
      • 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.

GlitchTip configuration​

Configuration of OpenID Connect providers in GlitchTip is done using Django Admin.

  1. If you do not already have a GlitchTip administrator account, create a superuser using the manage.py script:
sudo docker exec -it glitchtip-web-1 ./manage.py createsuperuser

  1. Go to https://glitchtip.company/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/ and log in with the superuser.

  2. Click Add Social Application and enter the following details:

    • Provider: OpenID Connect

    • Provider ID: authentik

    • Provider Name: authentik

    • Client ID: <Client ID from authentik>

    • Secret key: <Client Secret from authentik>

    • Settings:

      {
          "server_url": "https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/"
      }

  3. Click Save.

The Provider ID value determines the callback path. If you use a provider ID other than authentik, update the redirect URI in the authentik provider to https://glitchtip.company/accounts/oidc/<provider_id>/login/callback/.

To add an authentik account to an existing GlitchTip account, log in with the existing username and password, click Profile, and then click Add Account in the Social Auth Accounts section.

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with GlitchTip, log out of GlitchTip and open the GlitchTip login page. Click the authentik login option. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then returned to GlitchTip.
