## Initial Setup Process
When setting up a new FreshRSS instance with OIDC, follow these steps carefully to ensure proper administrator access:
1. Configure your OIDC environment variables (see configuration section below)
2. Start your FreshRSS instance
3. Access the Web interface – it will immediately attempt to authenticate you via your OIDC provider
4. After successful authentication, you’ll be directed to the setup wizard
5. In the authentication setup step (currently *step 4*):
* Enter the exact username that matches your OIDC identity (e.g., `admin@idm.example.com`) as the default user
* The password field can contain any random value as it won’t be used with OIDC
* Select *HTTP Authentication Method* as the authentication method
* If configured correctly, you should see your current username displayed as: `HTTP (for advanced users with HTTPS) (REMOTE_USER='admin@idm.example.com')`. If it doesn’t, recheck your OIDC setup and the variables to avoid locking yourself out from administrator access.
6. Complete the remaining setup steps
> ⚠️ Important: Using a random username instead of your actual OIDC identity as the default user may result in no administrator access to your instance.
## Using Docker
OIDC support in Docker is activated by the presence of a non-empty non-zero `OIDC_ENABLED` environment variable.
> ℹ️ Only available in our default Debian image (not Alpine) for `x86_64` ([help welcome](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/5722)).
## The config is done with these environment variables

## Setup
After being properly configured, OIDC support can be activated in FreshRSS.
During a new FreshRSS install, the **HTTP Authentication Method** must be picked.
After install, the method can be changed in *Administration > Authentication*. Note that this option will be greyed out if Apache is unable to read the `REMOTE_USER` variable.
