+
+## authentik configuration
+
+To support the integration of Kavita 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.
+    - **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.
+        - Add a **Redirect URI** of type `Strict` `Authorization` as `https://kavita.company/signin-oidc`
+        - Add a **Redirect URI** of type `Strict` `Post Logout` as `https://kavita.company/signout-callback-oidc`
+        - **Logout URI**: `https://kavita.company/signout-oidc`
+        - **Logout Method**: `Front-channel`
+        - Select any available signing key.
+    - **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 **Application Dashboard** page.
+
+3. Click **Submit** to save the new application and provider.
+
+## Kavita configuration
+
+1. Log in to Kavita as an administrator.
+2. Navigate to **Settings** > **OpenID Connect**.
+3. Configure the following settings:
+    - **Authority**: `https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/`
+    - **Client Id**: enter the Client ID from authentik.
+    - **Secret**: enter the Client Secret from authentik.
+    - **Provision Accounts**: enable this setting to automatically create Kavita accounts for users who log in through authentik.
+    - **Require Verified Emails**: disable this setting.
+4. Click **Save**.
+
+Restart your Kavita instance for these changes to take effect.
+
+## Configuration verification
+
+To confirm that authentik is properly configured with Kavita, log out of Kavita and then log back in using the **Login with SSO** option. You should be redirected to authentik for authentication and then redirected back to Kavita as a logged-in user.
