# Identity Providers

There are a few Identity Provider options that you can choose to run a self-hosted version NetBird.

<Note>
    NetBird supports generic OpenID (OIDC) protocol allowing for the integration with any IDP that follows the specification.
</Note>

## Auth0

This guide is a part of the [NetBird Self-hosting Guide](/docs/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide) and explains how to integrate **self-hosted** NetBird with [Auth0](https://auth0.com/).

Auth0 is a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications.
It is a 3rd party managed service and can't be self-hosted. Auth0 is the right choice if you don't want to manage an Identity Provider (IDP)
instance on your own.

<Note>
    If you prefer to have full control over authentication and authorization of your NetBird network, there are good
    self-hosted alternatives to the managed Auth0 service like [Keycloak](/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/using-netbird-with-keycloak).
</Note>

### Step 1: Create Auth0 account
To create an Auth0 account, sign up at [https://auth0.com](https://auth0.com/).

There are five properties of the **`setup.env`** file that we will configure in this guide:
- `NETBIRD_AUTH_CLIENT_ID`
- `NETBIRD_AUTH_OIDC_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT`
- `NETBIRD_USE_AUTH0`
- `NETBIRD_AUTH_AUDIENCE`
- `NETBIRD_AUTH_DEVICE_AUTH_CLIENT_ID` (Optional)

### Step 2: Create and configure Auth0 application

This Auth0 application will be used to authorize access to NetBird Dashboard (Web UI).

- Follow the steps in the [Auth0 React SDK Guide](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/spa/react/01-login#configure-auth0)
up until "Install the Auth0 React SDK".
- Use **`https://YOUR DOMAIN`** as: `Allowed Callback URLs`, `Allowed Logout URLs`, `Allowed Web Origins`, `Allowed Origins (CORS)`
<Note>
    Make sure that **`Token Endpoint Authentication Method`** is set to **`None`**.
</Note>

- Use **`Client ID`** to set  ```NETBIRD_AUTH_CLIENT_ID``` property in the `setup.env` file.
- Use **`Domain`** to configure   ```NETBIRD_AUTH_OIDC_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT``` property in the `setup.env` file like so:
```
 https://<DOMAIN>/.well-known/openid-configuration
```
<Note>
Double-check if the endpoint returns a JSON response by calling it from your browser.
</Note>

### Step 3: Create and configure Auth0 API

This Auth0 API will be used to access NetBird Management Service API.

- Follow the steps in the [Auth0 Create An API](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/backend/golang#create-an-api).
- Use API **`Identifier`** to set  ```NETBIRD_AUTH_AUDIENCE``` property in the `setup.env` file.
- Set ```NETBIRD_USE_AUTH0``` to `true`in the `setup.env` file.

### Step 4: Enable Interactive SSO Login (Optional)

The [Interactive SSO Login feature](/getting-started/installation#running-netbird-with-sso-login) allows for machine
authorization with your Identity Provider. This feature can be used as an alternative to [setup keys](/docs/how-to/setup-keys)
and is optional.

You can enable it by following these steps:
- Log in to your Auth0 account https://manage.auth0.com/
- Go to `Applications` (left-hand menu)
- Click `Create Application` button (top right)
- Fill in the form with the following values:
- Name: `Interactive Login`
- Application type: `Native`
- Click `Create`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/auth0-create-interactive-login-app.png)

- Click `Settings` tab
- Copy **`Client ID`** to `NETBIRD_AUTH_DEVICE_AUTH_CLIENT_ID` in the `setup.env` file

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/auth0-interactive-login-settings.png)

- Scroll down to the `Advanced Settings` section
- Enable **`Device Code`**
- Click `Save Changes`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/auth0-grant-types.png)


### Step 4: Continue with the self-hosting guide
You can now continue with the [NetBird Self-hosting Guide](/docs/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide).

## Keycloak

This guide is a part of the [NetBird Self-hosting Guide](/docs/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide) and explains how to integrate
**self-hosted** NetBird with [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/).

Keycloak is an open source software product to allow single sign-on with Identity and Access Management aimed at modern applications and services.

<Note>
    If you prefer not to self-host an Identity and Access Management solution, then you could use a managed alternative like
    [Auth0](/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/using-netbird-with-auth0).
</Note>

The following guide is an adapted version of the original
[Keycloak on Docker](https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-docker) guide from the official website.

### Expected Result

After completing this guide, you can log in to your self-hosted NetBird Dashboard and add your machines
to your network using the [Interactive SSO Login feature](/getting-started/installation#running-netbird-with-sso-login)
over Keycloak.

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-auth-grant.gif)

### Step 1: Check your Keycloak Instance

For this guide, you need a fully configured Keycloak instance running with SSL.

We assume that your Keycloak instance is available at **`https://YOUR-KEYCLOAK-HOST-AND_PORT`**.
Feel free to change the port if you have configured Keycloak with a different one.

Most of the OIDC software requires SSL for production use.
We encourage you to comply with this requirement to make the world more secure 😊.

### Step 2: Create a realm

To create a realm you need to:

- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
- Hover the mouse over the dropdown in the top-left corner where it says `Master`, then click on `Create Realm`
- Fill in the form with the following values:
- Realm name: `netbird`
- Click `Create`
-

- Click `Users` (left-hand menu)
- Click `Create new user`
- Fill in the form with the following values:
- Username: `netbird`
- Click `Create`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-create-user.png)

The user will need an initial password set to be able to log in. To do this:
- Click `Credentials` tab
- Click `Set password` button
- Fill in the password form with a password
- Set the `Temporary` field to `Off` to prevent having to update password on first login
- Click `Save`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-set-password.png)

### Step 4: Create a NetBird client

In this step we will create NetBird application client and register with the Keycloak instance.

- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
- Make sure, that the selected realm is `Netbird`
- Click `Clients`
- Click `Create client` button
- Fill in the form with the following values and click Next:

- Client ID: `netbird-client`
- Your newly client `netbird-client` will be used later to set `NETBIRD_AUTH_CLIENT_ID` in the `setup.env`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-create-client.png)

- Check the checkboxes as on the screenshot below and click Save

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-enable-auth.png)

### Step 5: Adjust NetBird client access settings

In this step we will configure NetBird application client access with the NetBird URLs.

- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
- Make sure, that the selected realm is `Netbird`
- Click `Clients`
- Choose `netbird-client` from the list
- Go to `Access Settings` section

- Valid post logout redirect URIs: `https://YOUR DOMAIN/*`
- Web origins: `+`
- Click `Save`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-access-settings.png)

### Step 6: Create a NetBird client scope

In this step, we will create and configure the NetBird client audience for Keycloak to add it to the generated JWT tokens.

- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
- Make sure, that the selected realm is `Netbird`
- Click `Client scopes` (left-hand menu)
- Click `Create client scope` button
- Fill in the form with the following values:
- Name: `api`
- Type: `Default`
- Protocol: `OpenID Connect`
- Click `Save`

- Click `Clients`
- Choose `netbird-client` from the list
- Switch to `Client scopes` tab
- Click `Add client scope` button
- Choose `api`
- Click `Add` choosing `Default`
- The value `netbird-client` will be used as audience

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloack-add-client-scope.png)

### Step 8: Create a NetBird-Backend client

In this step we will create NetBird backend client and register with the Keycloak instance.

- Open the Keycloak Admin Console
- Make sure, that the selected realm is `Netbird`
- Click `Clients`
- Click `Create client` button
- Fill in the form with the following values and click Next:
- Client Type: `OpenID Connect`
- Client ID: `netbird-backend`
- Your newly client `netbird-backend` will be used later to set `KeycloakClientCredentials` in the `management.json`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-create-backend-client.png)

- Check the checkboxes as on the screenshot below and click Save

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-backend-client-auth.png)

The client will need secret to authenticate. To do this:
- Click `Credentials` tab
- Copy `client secret` will be used later to set `ClientSecret` in the `management.json`

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-backend-client-credentials.png)

### Step 9: Add manage-users role to netbird-backend

- Open the Keycloak Admin Console

- Check the role checkbox and click assign

![](/img/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/keycloak-add-role.png)

Your authority OIDC configuration will be available under:
```
https://<YOUR-KEYCLOAK-HOST-AND-PORT>/realms/netbird/.well-known/openid-configuration
```
<Note>
    Double-check if the endpoint returns a JSON response by calling it from your browser.
</Note>

- Set properties in the `setup.env` file:
- NETBIRD_AUTH_OIDC_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT=`https://<YOUR-KEYCLOAK-HOST-AND-PORT>/realms/netbird/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
- NETBIRD_AUTH_CLIENT_ID=`netbird-client`
- NETBIRD_AUTH_AUDIENCE=`netbird-client`
- NETBIRD_AUTH_DEVICE_AUTH_CLIENT_ID=`netbird-client`. Optional,
it enables the [Interactive SSO Login feature](/getting-started/installation#running-netbird-with-sso-login) (Oauth 2.0 Device Authorization Flow)

- You can now continue with the [NetBird Self-hosting Guide](/docs/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide).

- Set property `IdpManagerConfig` in the `management.json` file with:
<Note>
    The file management.json is created automatically. Please refer [here](/getting-started/self-hosting#step-5-run-configuration-script) for more information.
</Note>

```json
{
  "ManagerType":  "keycloak",

      "AdminEndpoint": "https://<YOUR-KEYCLOAK-HOST-AND-PORT>/admin/realms/netbird"
  }
}
  ```

<Note>
    Make sure that your Keycloak instance use HTTPS. Otherwise, the setup won't work.
</Note>

## Azure AD

This guide is a part of the [NetBird Self-hosting Guide](/docs/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide) and explains how to integrate **self-hosted** NetBird with [Azure AD](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/active-directory/).

Azure AD is a an enterprise identity service that provides single sign-on and multifactor authentication to your applications.
It is a 3rd party managed service and can't be self-hosted.

<Note>
    If you prefer to have full control over authentication and authorization of your NetBird network, there are good
    self-hosted alternatives to the managed Auth0 service like [Keycloak](/integrations/identity-providers/self-hosted/using-netbird-with-keycloak).
</Note>

Before you start creating and configuring an Azure AD application, ensure that you have the following:
