authentik for VPN, firewall and network access

Using authentik to authenticate VPN users, firewall administrators, mesh networks and Wi-Fi clients over SAML, OIDC, LDAP or RADIUS, with MFA where the protocol allows it.

authentik and FortiGate SSL VPN SAML integration

Authenticating FortiGate SSL VPN users against authentik with SAML: the SAML application, importing the signing certificate, the SAML SSO server and user group, and mapping groups to VPN portals.

authentik and pfSense LDAP authentication

Authenticating pfSense administrators and VPN users against authentik through an LDAP outpost: the LDAP provider and service account, search base, groups and code-based MFA in the bind password.

authentik and Tailscale OIDC integration

Using authentik as a custom OIDC identity provider for a Tailscale tailnet: the WebFinger endpoint Tailscale requires on your domain, the OIDC provider settings and moving users from another IdP.

authentik and Headscale OIDC integration

Signing users in to a self-hosted Headscale control server with authentik over OIDC: Headscale OIDC settings, allowed groups and domains, and node registration through the browser.

authentik and NetBird OIDC integration

Using authentik as the identity provider for self-hosted NetBird: OIDC and device authorization settings, the management API service account, and group sync for access policies.

VPN login with MFA through authentik RADIUS

Adding MFA to VPNs and network devices that only speak RADIUS: PAP-only password authentication, appending TOTP, Duo or static codes to the password, why SMS codes cannot work, and when SAML on the VPN is better.
