Problem

I’m trying to login to my NC instance via Authentik’s authentication automatically, i.e. without having to press a button. Authentik works just fine with NC, but the login page won’t start the process automatically, I have to press the button…

I tried:

‘oidc_login_auto_redirect’ => true,

and

‘social_login_auto_redirect’ => true,

and both don’t work. I’m using OIDC connect.

Am I missing something obvious or does it simply not work?

I don’t use the Social Login app, so I can’t give a direct answer to your question, but I’m currently playing around with OIDC as well.

On the Nextcloud side I’m using the user_oidc app instead of Social Login. It looks more “official” to me, and it’s also the app referenced in the official documentation here.

Automatic login works for me after setting the following configuration parameter via occ.

occ config:app:set --type=string --value=0 user_oidc allow_multiple_user_backends

Thanks, that actually worked

On docker for windows I used this command via Powershell instead:

docker exec -u www-data -it nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ config:app:set user_oidc allow_multiple_user_backends --type=string --value=0
