# Dex for YunoHost [](https://dash.yunohost.org/appci/app/dex)   [](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=dex) *[Lire ce readme en français.](./README_fr.md)* > *This package allows you to install Dex quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult [the guide](https://yunohost.org/#/install) to learn how to install it.* ## Overview Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. This Yunohost package will install Dex and setup a canonical OpenID Connect provider for your Yunohost instance, based on the LDAP user base, that can then be used as an authentification server for other Yunohost apps. ### Features - Fully working OpenID Connect authentification flow - Interfaced with Yunohost's LDAP server **Shipped version:** 2.34.0~ynh1 ## Screenshots   ## Disclaimers / important information ### Known limitations : * Only tested on x86 architectures * Dex only allows you to setup one OpenID Connect app at a time * However, it's a working multi-instance app, so you can install it more than once * Dex is only an OIDC provider, and user management will depend on the app using it as an OIDC provider ### To be used carefully : * Changing URL will work but will require some settings change in the app using Dex as an OIDC provider * Going to the URL will only let you see a "This is where Dex is installed." message ## Documentation and resources * Official app website: * Official admin documentation: * Upstream app code repository: * YunoHost documentation for this app: * Report a bug: ## Developer info Please send your pull request to the [testing branch](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/dex_ynh/tree/testing).
