## What is Kimai
> Kimai is a free & open source timetracker. It tracks work time and prints out a summary of your activities on demand. Yearly, monthly, daily, by customer, by project … Its simplicity is its strength. Due to Kimai's browser based interface it runs cross-platform, even on your mobile device.

## Preparation
The following placeholders are used in this guide:
- `kimai.company` is the FQDN of the Kimai Install
- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik Install
- `admin.group` is the authentik group to be made Admin in Kimai
:::info
This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.
:::
## authentik configuration
To support the integration of Kimai with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.
### Create an application and provider in authentik
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.
- **Application**: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings. Take note of the **slug** as it will be required later.
- **Choose a Provider type**: select **SAML Provider** 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 **ACS URL** to `https://kimai.company/auth/saml/acs`.
- Set the **Issuer** to `https://authentik.company`.
- Set the **Service Provider Binding** to `Post`.
- Set the **Audience** to `https://kimai.company/auth/saml`.
- Under **Advanced protocol settings**:
- Select an available **Signing certificate**.
- Set **NameID Property Mapping** to `authentik default SAML MApping: Email`.
- Set **Default NameID Policy** to `Email Address`.
- **Configure Bindings** _(optional)_: you can create a [binding](/docs/add-secure-apps/bindings-overview/) (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's **My applications** page.
3. Click **Submit** to save the new application and provider.
### Download certificate file
1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
2. Navigate to **Applications** > **Providers** and click on the name of the provider that you created in the previous section.
3. Under **Related objects** > **Download signing certificate**, click on **Download**. This is your certificate file and its contents will be required in the next section.
## Kimai Configuration
Paste the following block in your `local.yaml` file, after replacing the placeholder values from above. The file is usually located in `/opt/kimai/config/packages/local.yaml`.
The value for `x509cert` is the content of the certificate file downloaded in the previous section.
