WebFinger support

About WebFinger

The WebFinger protocol allows for the discovery of information about individuals or entities on the Internet through standard HTTP methods. It enables the retrieval of information associated with a URI that might not be directly usable as a locator, such as those for accounts or email addresses.

authentik WebFinger support

authentik provides a WebFinger endpoint when the Default application setting uses an OIDC provider. Instructions on how to set a Default application can be found in the authentik Branding documentation.

The WebFinger endpoint is available at: https://authentik.company/.well-known/webfinger (where authentik.company is the FQDN of your authentik instance)
