Before deploying the authentik Agent, configure your authentik deployment. This involves:

Create and apply an OAuth device code flow

The OAuth device code flow enables secure authentication for input-limited clients like CLI tools and is required for the authentik Agent to function.

If you have already deployed the authentik OAuth device code flow, skip to the next section.

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Flows and Stages > Flows and click New Flow.
  3. Set the following required configurations:
    • Name: provide a name (e.g. default-device-code-flow)
    • Title: provide a title (e.g. Device code flow)
    • Slug: provide a slug (e.g default-device-code-flow)
    • Designation: Stage Configuration
    • Authentication: Require authentication
  4. Click Create.
  5. Navigate to System > Brands and click the Edit icon on the default brand.
  6. Set Default code flow to the newly created device code flow and click Update.

Create an application and provider in authentik for CLI

The authentik Agent requires an OAuth application/provider pair to handle authentication.

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.

  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application to open the application wizard. Alternatively, you can first create a provider separately, then create the application and connect it to the provider.

    • Application: set the Name and Slug to authentik-cli, and provide an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
    • Choose a Provider type: select OAuth2/OpenID Connect as the provider type.
    • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
      • Set the Client type to Public.
      • Set the Client ID to authentik-cli.
      • Select any available signing key.
      • Under Advanced protocol settings:
        • In addition to the three default Selected Scopes, add the authentik default OAuth Mapping: OpenID 'offline_access' scope.
    • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage access to the application.
  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Create the authentik Agent connector

The authentik Agent Connector allows device information to be reported to authentik.

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Endpoint Devices > Connectors and click New Endpoint Connector.
  3. Select Agent Connector as the agent type and click Next.
  4. Configure the following required settings:
    • Connector name: provide a descriptive name (e.g. authentik Agent)
    • Refresh interval: select how often the agent will attempt to update its configuration.
    • Enabled: toggle to enable the connector.
    • Under Authentication settings:
      • Federated OIDC Providers: add the authentik-cli provider that you created in the previous section.
  5. Click Finish.
