# Authentik Current State > Snapshot of applications, groups, users, and flows. Use `authentik` skill for management tasks. ## Applications (10) | Application | Provider Type | Auth Flow | |-------------|--------------|-----------| | Cloudflare Access | OAuth2/OIDC | explicit consent | | Domain wide catch all | Proxy (forward auth) | implicit consent | | Forgejo | OAuth2/OIDC | explicit consent | | Grafana | OAuth2/OIDC | implicit consent | | Headscale | OAuth2/OIDC | explicit consent | | Immich | OAuth2/OIDC | explicit consent | | Kubernetes | OAuth2/OIDC (public) | implicit consent | | linkwarden | OAuth2/OIDC | explicit consent | | Matrix | OAuth2/OIDC | implicit consent | | wrongmove | OAuth2/OIDC | implicit consent | ## Groups (9) | Group | Parent | Superuser | Purpose | |-------|--------|-----------|---------| | Allow Login Users | -- | No | Parent group for login-permitted users | | authentik Admins | -- | Yes | Full admin access | | Headscale Users | Allow Login Users | No | VPN access | | Home Server Admins | Allow Login Users | No | Server admin access | | Wrongmove Users | Allow Login Users | No | Real-estate app access | | kubernetes-admins | -- | No | K8s cluster-admin RBAC | | kubernetes-power-users | -- | No | K8s power-user RBAC | | kubernetes-namespace-owners | -- | No | K8s namespace-owner RBAC | | Task Submitters | -- | No | Task submission access | ## Users (8 real) | Username | Name | Type | Groups | |----------|------|------|--------| | akadmin | authentik Default Admin | internal | authentik Admins, Home Server Admins, Headscale Users | | vbarzin@gmail.com | Viktor Barzin | internal | authentik Admins, Home Server Admins, Wrongmove Users, Headscale Users | | emil.barzin@gmail.com | Emil Barzin | internal | Home Server Admins, Headscale Users | | ancaelena98@gmail.com | Anca Milea | external | Wrongmove Users, Headscale Users | | vabbit81@gmail.com | GHEORGHE Milea | external | Headscale Users | | valentinakolevabarzina@gmail.com | Valentina | internal | Headscale Users | | anca.r.cristian10@gmail.com | -- | internal | Wrongmove Users | | kadir.tugan@gmail.com | Kadir | internal | Wrongmove Users | ## Login Sources - **Google** (OAuth) -- user matching by identifier - **GitHub** (OAuth) -- user matching by email_link - **Facebook** (OAuth) -- user matching by email_link - All sources use `invitation-enrollment` as enrollment flow (new users require invitation) ## Authorization Flows - **Explicit consent** (`default-provider-authorization-explicit-consent`): Shows consent screen - **Implicit consent** (`default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent`): Auto-redirects ## Invitation Enrollment Flow Slug: `invitation-enrollment` | PK: `7d667321-2b02-4e16-8161-148078a8dac1` New users can only sign up via invitation link. Admins generate single-use invite links. ### Stages (in order) | Order | Stage | Type | Purpose | |-------|-------|------|---------| | 10 | invitation-validation | Invitation | Validates `?itoken=` parameter, blocks without valid token | | 20 | enrollment-identification | Identification | Shows social login (Google/GitHub/Facebook) + passkey | | 30 | enrollment-prompt | Prompt | Collects name and email (pre-filled from social login) | | 40 | enrollment-user-write | User Write | Creates user in `Allow Login Users` group | | 50 | enrollment-login | User Login | Auto-login after signup (policy: `invitation-group-assignment` adds user to target group from invitation `fixed_data.group`) | ### Invitation Management Script: `.claude/scripts/authentik-invite.sh` ```bash # Create invitation (single-use, no expiry) ./authentik-invite.sh create "Headscale Users" # Create invitation with expiry ./authentik-invite.sh create "Wrongmove Users" --days 7 # Add user to group after enrollment ./authentik-invite.sh assign "Headscale Users" # List pending invitations ./authentik-invite.sh list ``` Invited users sign up via social login (Google/GitHub/Facebook) or passkey. No username/password enrollment. The target group (e.g. "Headscale Users") is auto-assigned on enrollment via the `invitation-group-assignment` expression policy. The `assign` command is available for manual post-enrollment group changes. ## Cleanup Log (2026-03-13) ### Deleted Flows - `enrollment-inviation` (typo) -- previous invitation attempt - `headscale-authentication` -- not used by any provider - `headscale-authorization` -- not used by any provider - `default-enrollment-flow` -- password-based, unused - `oauth-enrollment` -- replaced by invitation-enrollment ### Deleted Stages - `enrollment-invitation`, `enrollment-invitation-write` (from old invitation flow) - `invitation` (unbound) - `default-enrollment-prompt-first`, `default-enrollment-prompt-second` (from default enrollment) - `default-enrollment-user-write`, `default-enrollment-email-verification`, `default-enrollment-user-login` ### Deleted Groups - `authentik Read-only` -- 0 users, unused role ### Deleted Policies - `map github username to email` -- unbound - `Map Google Attributes` -- unbound ### Deleted Roles - `authentik Read-only` -- no group assignment ## Policy Fix (2026-04-06) ### Unbound brute-force-protection Policy The `brute-force-protection` ReputationPolicy (PK: `ac98cb11-31d3-46ab-8883-bf51e6b09a60`, `check_username=True`, `check_ip=True`, `threshold=-5`) was bound to 3 authentication flows, causing "Flow does not apply to current user" for all unauthenticated users (no username to evaluate → failure_result=false → flow denied). Removed bindings from: - `default-authentication-flow` (PK: `34618cf3`) — username/password login - `webauthn` (PK: `0b60c2a5`) — passkey login - `default-source-authentication` (PK: via policybindingmodel `1a779f24`) — Google/GitHub/Facebook OAuth Policy still exists with 0 bindings. If brute-force protection is needed, bind to the **password stage** (not the flow level). ## Session Duration (2026-05-01) Pinned via Terraform in `stacks/authentik/`: | Knob | Value | Surface | Effect | |------|-------|---------|--------| | `UserLoginStage.session_duration` on `default-authentication-login` | `weeks=4` | `authentik_stage_user_login.default_login` in `authentik_provider.tf` | Authenticated users stay logged in 4 weeks across browser restarts. No sliding refresh — resets on each login. | | `ProxyProvider.access_token_validity` on `Provider for Domain wide catch all` | `weeks=4` | `authentik_provider_proxy.catchall.access_token_validity` in `authentik_provider.tf` | Cookie `Max-Age` on `authentik_proxy_*` and `expires` on rows in `authentik_providers_proxy_proxysession`. Bumped 2026-05-10 from `hours=168`. **Bumping requires `kubectl rollout restart deploy/ak-outpost-authentik-embedded-outpost`** — the gorilla session store binds the value once at outpost startup; the 5-min provider refresh logs `"reusing existing session store"` and skips rebuild. | | `AUTHENTIK_SESSIONS__UNAUTHENTICATED_AGE` (server + worker) | `hours=2` | `server.env` + `worker.env` in `modules/authentik/values.yaml` | Anonymous Django sessions (bots, healthcheckers, partial flows) are reaped within 2h instead of the 1d default. | Notes: - There is **no** `Brand.session_duration`; `UserLoginStage` is the only correct lever for authenticated session lifetime. - Embedded outpost session storage: PostgreSQL table `authentik_providers_proxy_proxysession` in authentik 2025.10+ (PR #16628), but **only when `IsEmbedded()` returns true** (i.e. `Outpost.managed == "goauthentik.io/outposts/embedded"`). Our outpost record had `managed=null` until 2026-05-10, which silently kept it on the gorilla `FilesystemStore` at `/dev/shm` (TMPDIR) and re-exposed the 2026-04-18 mismatched-session-ID class on every pod restart. Fix landed 2026-05-10: see `authentik_outpost.embedded` in `authentik_provider.tf` and post-mortem `2026-04-18-authentik-outpost-shm-full.md`. - The proxy outpost service has a known goauthentik 2026.2.2 bug (`internal/outpost/controllers/k8s/service.py:52`): for embedded outposts the controller sets the Service selector to `app.kubernetes.io/name=authentik` (the server pods), not `authentik-outpost-proxy`. We work around it via a `kubernetes_json_patches.service` patch on the outpost record (replaces `/spec/selector` with the outpost's own labels). Without this, endpoints are empty and Traefik forward-auth fails over to the Basic Auth realm `Emergency Access`. - The standalone embedded-outpost deployment needs `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__{HOST,PORT,USER,PASSWORD,NAME}` env vars to reach the dbaas cluster — codified via `kubernetes_json_patches.deployment` envFrom the shared `goauthentik` Secret. The `app.kubernetes.io/component=server` pod label is also injected via JSON patch (matches the `component:server` half of the Service selector that the controller adds for embedded outposts). - `ProxyProvider.remember_me_offset` stays UI-managed via `ignore_changes`. - The Authentik provider's resource schema does **not** expose the `Outpost.managed` field. We rely on TF's "write only fields it knows about" semantic: the server-set `goauthentik.io/outposts/embedded` value is preserved across applies because Terraform never writes `managed`. Don't change the resource provider schema expectations without verifying this assumption holds. - The `unauthenticated_age` env var is injected via `server.env` / `worker.env` (not `authentik.sessions.unauthenticated_age`) because we set `authentik.existingSecret.secretName: goauthentik`, which makes the chart skip rendering its own `AUTHENTIK_*` Secret. The `authentik.*` value block is therefore inert in this stack — anything new under `authentik.*` must use the `*.env` arrays instead. The same applies to the existing `authentik.cache.*`, `authentik.web.*`, `authentik.worker.*` blocks (currently inert; live values come from the orphaned, helm-keep-policy `goauthentik` Secret created by chart 2025.10.3 before `existingSecret` was introduced).
