Wrong redirect after oAuth success
Why would Immic try to load
/api/oauth/callback
after an oAuth? That URL does not exist at all.
{"message":"Cannot GET /api/oauth/callback","error":"Not Found","statusCode":404,"correlationId":"cufthogg"}
Referrer is the domain on which immich runs, oAuth correctly logs in, no problem with that, but somehow immmich loads that weird url, then says :could not complete oauth: even if everything went well with oAuth (well, except that it did not log in, due to the bad url redirect)
Using authentik as per the docs, everything setup properly according the documentation, this happens on desktop computers, mobile I did not try.15 Replies

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:Did you use this guide? https://immich.app/docs/administration/oauth#example-configuration
yes, and my other authentik instances work (gitea, etc)
That example file btw is wrong: it says to put issuer url to
https://example.immich.app/application/o/immich/.well-known/openid-configuration
which clearly cannot be 🙂
The issuer url has to be the issuer of ID, not consumer
Anyway, that apart, the authenication is not at fault.
Immich redirects after authentication on authentik was success, and after said redirects back to immic... to /api/oauth/callback
wich is a non existing url.example.immich.app
is just an example placeholder for the IDP url
/api/oauth/callback
is a valid & existing endpoint on the Immich serveryes... that much was clear, but it kind of insinuates you expect it on the same url as immich is.
not so much here. how comes this difference?

Because you're trying to open it in your browser which sends a GET
do I have to re-install perhaps?
I recall some updates where a bit of a ----- at some point, where I somehow managed to get it back up running...
It only handles POST requests
well. but after authentik it also goes with error (and that is not in the browser)
{
"message": "Failed to finish oauth",
"error": "Internal Server Error",
"statusCode": 500,
"correlationId": "p0n02pvf"
}
"Internal server error" means the actual error will be in the logs
so you are saying that redirect is expected and that it should log me in, or let me connect to an existing account after it?
I'm saying you should check the logs
yeah the hell....
