Integrate with Pulse	Pulse	community

What is Pulse

Pulse is an open-source monitoring platform that provides real-time insight into Proxmox, Docker, and Kubernetes infrastructure.

-- https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse

Preparation

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

pulse.company is the FQDN of the Pulse installation.
authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik installation.

:::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 Pulse with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider in authentik

Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
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.
- 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.
  - Note the Client ID, Client Secret, and slug values because they will be required later.
  - Set a Strict redirect URI to https://pulse.company/api/oidc/callback.
  - Select any available signing key.
  - Under Advanced protocol settings, add authentik default OAuth Mapping: OpenID 'offline_access' to the selected scopes if you want long-lived sessions backed by refresh tokens.
- Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.
Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Pulse configuration

Log in to Pulse as an administrator.
Navigate to Settings > Security > Single sign-on (OIDC).
Configure the following settings:
- Issuer URL: https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/
- Client ID: enter the Client ID from authentik.
- Client Secret: enter the Client Secret from authentik.
- Redirect URL: https://pulse.company/api/oidc/callback
- End Session URL: https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/end-session/
- Scopes: openid profile email (add offline_access if you added the scope mapping in authentik)
- Claim Mapping (optional): map email, username, and groups to the claims issued by authentik. Include the groups scope if you want to use allowed groups.
- Allowed Groups, Allowed Domains, Allowed Emails (optional): restrict who can sign in based on the claims Pulse receives from authentik.
Click Save.

:::info Pulse stores refresh tokens encrypted and invalidates the session if a refresh attempt fails, so revoked access at the identity provider logs the user out on the next token refresh. :::

To hide the local login form and show only SSO, set PULSE_AUTH_HIDE_LOCAL_LOGIN=true in your environment variables, or enable Hide local login form in the Pulse admin UI under Settings > Security > Authentication. You can still access the local login by appending ?show_local=true to the Pulse URL when needed.

Configuration verification

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with Pulse, log out and attempt to log back in using Single Sign-On. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then redirected back to Pulse.
