Allows users to authenticate using their WeChat credentials by configuring WeChat as a federated identity provider via OAuth2.
## Preparation
The following placeholders are used in this guide:
- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik installation.
## WeChat configuration
To integrate WeChat with authentik you will need to register a "Website Application" (网站应用) on the [WeChat Open Platform](https://open.weixin.qq.com/).
1. Register for a developer account on the [WeChat Open Platform](https://open.weixin.qq.com/).
2. Navigate to the **Management Center** (管理中心) > **Website Application** (网站应用) and click **Create Website Application** (创建网站应用).
3. Submit the application for review.
4. Once approved, you will obtain an **AppID** and **AppSecret**.
5. In the WeChat application settings, configure the **Authorized Callback Domain** (授权回调域) to match your authentik domain (e.g. `authentik.company`).
:::info
This integration uses the WeChat "Website Application" login flow (QR Code login). When users access the login page on a desktop device (Windows/Mac) with the WeChat client installed, they may see a "Fast Login" prompt.
:::
## authentik configuration
To support the integration of WeChat with authentik, you need to create a WeChat OAuth source in authentik.
1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
2. Navigate to **Directory** > **Federation and Social login**, click **New Source**, and then configure the following settings:
- **Select type**: select **WeChat OAuth Source** as the source type.
- **Create OAuth Source**: provide a name, a slug (e.g. `wechat`), and set the following required configurations:
- **Protocol settings**
- **Consumer Key**: Enter the **AppID** from the WeChat Open Platform.
- **Consumer Secret**: Enter the **AppSecret** from the WeChat Open Platform.
- **Scopes**: define any further access scopes.
3. Click **Finish**.
:::info Display new source on login screen
For instructions on how to display the new source on the authentik login page, refer to the [Add sources to default login page documentation](../../index.md#add-sources-to-default-login-page).
:::
:::info Embed new source in flow :ak-enterprise
For instructions on embedding the new source within a flow, such as an authorization flow, refer to the [Source Stage documentation](../../../../../add-secure-apps/flows-stages/stages/source/).
:::
## Source property mappings
Source property mappings allow you to modify or gather extra information from sources. See the [overview](../../property-mappings/index.md) for more information.
The following data is retrieved from WeChat and mapped to the user's attributes in authentik:
| WeChat Field | authentik Attribute | Description |
| :---------------------- | :---------------------- | :------------------------------ |
| `unionid` (or `openid`) | `username` | Used as the primary identifier. |
| `nickname` | `name` | The user's display name. |
| `headimgurl` | `attributes.headimgurl` | URL to the user's avatar. |
| `sex` | `attributes.sex` | Gender (1=Male, 2=Female). |
| `city` | `attributes.city` | User's city. |
| `province` | `attributes.province` | User's province. |
| `country` | `attributes.country` | User's country. |
### User Matching
WeChat users are identified by their `unionid` (if available) or `openid`.
- **UnionID**: Unique across multiple applications under the same developer account. authentik prioritizes this as the username.
- **OpenID**: Unique to the specific application. Used as a fallback if `unionid` is not returned.
:::info
WeChat does not provide the user's email address via the API.
