Pocket-ID OIDC not working correctly - 404

[ocr99]

📜 Description

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Postiz with a custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider (Pocket‑ID), using the generic OAuth configuration. Everything loads fine, and the login button appears as expected. However, when clicking on the login button, the browser is redirected to a 404 error.

👟 Reproduction steps

After some debugging, I noticed that Postiz tries to redirect to: https://id.domain.com/authorize/?client_id=...

As you can see, there's an extra slash before the query string (/?client_id=...), which causes the 404.

If I manually fix the URL by removing that quote and slash, like this: https://id.domain.com/authorize?client_id=...

Then the authorization request goes through and I can log in to Pocket-ID, but after being redirected back to Postiz, the app gets stuck in a loop here: https://postiz.domain.com/auth?code=.

My environment variables

      POSTIZ_GENERIC_OAUTH: "true"
      NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTIZ_OAUTH_DISPLAY_NAME: "Pocket ID"
      NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTIZ_OAUTH_LOGO_URL: "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/selfhst/icons/webp/pocket-id.webp"
      POSTIZ_OAUTH_URL: "https://id.domain.com"      
      POSTIZ_OAUTH_AUTH_URL: "https://id.domain.com/authorize"
      POSTIZ_OAUTH_TOKEN_URL: "https://id.domain.com/token"
      POSTIZ_OAUTH_USERINFO_URL: "https://id.domain.com/userinfo"
      POSTIZ_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID: "CLIENT_ID"
      POSTIZ_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET: "SECRET"

Thanks!

👍 Expected behavior

It should redirect to Pocket-ID and log in to the app

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

When I log in to Pocket-ID and redirects me to Postiz again it gets stuck here:

I am also going through something similar, Postiz says that the authorization url cannot be found.

Is this a problem specifically of Postiz or through pocket-id? I have been able to successfully authorize pocket-id separately.

I got the same here.

I'm not sure if I have the exact same error, but it does seem like either Postiz isn't cooperating with Pocket-id or Pocket-id isn't cooperating with Postiz.

Here was my conversation with a maintainer of Pocket-id about it: https://github.com/pocket-id/pocket-id/discussions/803

I am having the same issue with pocketid

[epchris]

The issue I've observed is that a / is appended to the authorization URL as configured before the query parameters when redirecting to the OAuth provider. this leads to something like https://id.example.com/authorize/?client_id=.... and it really should be https://id.example.com/authorize?client_id=...

I think it's this line: https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/blob/383830b6beb6db34f3749c98763e33a60993ff84/apps/backend/src/services/auth/providers/oauth.provider.ts#L59

Fixed it in my PR and the latest release now works for me with Pocket-ID https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/releases/tag/v2.8.1

Im using these environment variables for OIDC:

NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTIZ_OAUTH_DISPLAY_NAME: "Pocket-ID"
NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTIZ_OAUTH_LOGO_URL: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocket-id/pocket-id/refs/heads/main/frontend/static/img/static-logo.svg"
POSTIZ_GENERIC_OAUTH: "true"
POSTIZ_OAUTH_URL: "https://id.example.com"
POSTIZ_OAUTH_AUTH_URL: "https://id.example.com/authorize"
POSTIZ_OAUTH_TOKEN_URL: "https://id.example.com/api/oidc/token"
POSTIZ_OAUTH_USERINFO_URL: "https://id.example.com/api/oidc/userinfo"
POSTIZ_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID: "OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"
POSTIZ_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET: "OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"

Pocket-ID now has an example of how to set up postiz with it: https://pocket-id.org/docs/client-examples/postiz
