This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.

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 Budibase 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.
    • 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, Client Secret, and slug values because they will be required later.
      • Add a Redirect URI of type Strict Authorization as https://budibase.company/api/global/auth/oidc/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.

Budibase configuration​

From the main page of your Budibase installation, add the following values under the Auth section of the builder:

  • Config URL: https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/.well-known/openid-configuration
  • Client ID: Client ID from authentik
  • Client Secret: Client Secret from authentik
  • Callback URL: https://budibase.company/api/global/auth/oidc/callback/
  • Name: authentik

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with Budibase, visit your Budibase installation, and click Sign in with authentik.
