By default, Coder is accessible via password authentication.
The following steps explain how to set up GitHub OAuth or OpenID Connect.
First, register a GitHub OAuth app. GitHub will ask you for the following Coder parameters:
- Homepage URL: Set to your Coder domain (e.g.
https://coder.domain.com
) - User Authorization Callback URL: Set to
https://coder.domain.com/api/v2/users/oauth2/github/callback
Note the Client ID and Client Secret generated by GitHub. You will use these values in the next step.
Navigate to your Coder host and run the following command to start up the Coder server:
coder server --oauth2-github-allow-signups=true --oauth2-github-allowed-orgs="your-org" --oauth2-github-client-id="8d1...e05" --oauth2-github-client-secret="57ebc9...02c24c"
For GitHub Enterprise support, specify the
--oauth2-github-enterprise-base-url
flag.
Alternatively, if you are running Coder as a system service, you can achieve the
same result as the command above by adding the following environment variables
to the /etc/coder.d/coder.env
file:
CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_ALLOW_SIGNUPS=true
CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_ALLOWED_ORGS="your-org"
CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID="8d1...e05"
CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET="57ebc9...02c24c"
Once complete, run sudo service coder restart
to reboot Coder.
We describe how to set up the most popular OIDC provider, Google, but any (Okta, Azure Active Directory, GitLab, Auth0, etc.) may be used.
First, register a Google OAuth app. Google will ask you for the following Coder parameters:
- Authorized JavaScript origins: Set to your Coder domain (e.g.
https://coder.domain.com
) - Redirect URIs: Set to
https://coder.domain.com/api/v2/users/oidc/callback
Navigate to your Coder host and run the following command to start up the Coder server:
coder server --oidc-issuer-url="https://accounts.google.com" --oidc-email-domain="your-domain" --oidc-client-id="533...ent.com" --oidc-client-secret="G0CSP...7qSM"
Alternatively, if you are running Coder as a system service, you can achieve the
same result as the command above by adding the following environment variables
to the /etc/coder.d/coder.env
file:
CODER_OIDC_ISSUER_URL="https://accounts.google.com"
CODER_OIDC_EMAIL_DOMAIN="your-domain"
CODER_OIDC_CLIENT_ID="533...ent.com"
CODER_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET="G0CSP...7qSM"
Once complete, run sudo service coder restart
to reboot Coder.
When a new user is created, the
preferred_username
claim becomes the username. If this claim is empty, the email address will be stripped of the domain, and become the username (e.g.[email protected]
becomesexample
).
Coder supports user provisioning and deprovisioning via SCIM 2.0 with header authentication. Upon deactivation, users are suspended and are not deleted. Configure your SCIM application with an auth key and supply it the Coder server.
CODER_SCIM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
