info

Alternatively, use our legacy process and click Create. The legacy process requires that the application and its configuration provider be configured separately.

  1. In the New Application wizard, define the application details, and then define the provider details with the following parameters:

  • Provider Type: OAuth2/OIDC (Open Authorization/OpenID Connect)

  • Authorization Flow: default-provider-authorization-explicit-consent (Authorize Application)

  • Client Type: Confidential

  • Redirect URIs/Origins: https://crm.<your_company>/oauth-callback.php

  • Scopes: OpenID, Email, Profile, Proxy outpost

  • Subject Mode: Based on the User's username (OR your preferred method; you can use the same username in authentik and EspoCRM)

  • Signing Key: Select any available key

Note the Client ID and Client Secret values.

EspoCRM configuration​

Access the OIDC auth​

  1. Login to your admin user at crm.<your_company>.

  • Client ID: enter the Client ID from authentik
