After the setup instructions on using Rocket.Chat and the IPB OAuth API I thought I would share the settings for using Matrix Chat.
Matrix in itself is more a specification. Its reference server is called Synapse. One of the well known Web Client is called Element-web (previously called Riot). There are several clients available to choose from. For more information the website is a good place: https://matrix.org/
Members with a forum account can use the same account to login into the element-web chat client.
These are the settings in the IPB Admin Panel:
Client Type: Custom Confidential OAuth Client Available Grant Types: Authorization Code Require PKCE for Authorization Code grant?: Not required Redirection URIs: https://matrix.yourhostname.com/_synapse/client/oidc/callback Authorization Prompt: Never
this will allow your invisioncommunity members to just open the element chat, get redirected a few times, but then be already connected and online in the chat. Allow users to choose scopes? off Show in Account Settings? on Access Tokens: leave the defaults Scopes: profile and email. leave the defaults And these are the settings for the synapse server (to be put into the homeserver.yaml):
oidc_providers: - idp_id: yourhostname idp_name: "Yourhostname.com Login" discover: false issuer: "https://www.hostname.com/" client_id: "changeme" client_secret: "secret_changeme_aswell" scopes: ["email", "profile"] authorization_endpoint: "https://www.yourhostname.com/oauth/authorize/" token_endpoint: "https://www.yourhostname.com/oauth/token/" userinfo_endpoint: "https://www.yourhostname.com/api/core/me" user_mapping_provider: config: subject_claim: "name" localpart_template: "{{ user.name }}" display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}" email_template: "{{ user.email }}" More details on setup context and the docker-containers that run all this can be found in our administrators own blog (where this is taken from with his permission).
This hopefully is of some use for someone else ☺️
 
If you have an "online users widget" for synapse, please let me know 😉
