Unknown authentication strategy "openid"

[frosty wraith]

I'm running LibreChat v0.8.0-rc3 in Docker and trying to get OpenID working, but am hitting the same issue described here: https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat/discussions/7520 , which is marked as patched and solved. Is there more I need to do at this point to get past this error?

@foggy rose , your fix should keep this error from happening in v0.8.0-rc4, correct? Any ideas on what might be causing the same issue for me? Running in Docker. Thanks...!

I have the same issue

[foggy rose]

correct

@fiery wigeon it's hard to say what the cause could be in your cases as openid compliance is strict now given the major version bump of the library (openid-client)

I helped someone troubleshoot this by being given access to temporary remote credentials for their openid, and I'm happy to do the same here via private channels

thanks @foggy rose but considering this is running on a corporate Oracle vm instance we can't give acces to someone outside the company network

This is the error we have with all 0.8 versions (we tried all of them) : 2025-09-26T15:22:06.879Z error: ErrorController => error Unknown authentication strategy "openid"

that's our config in case you see something uncorrect

[foggy rose]

and you're using the images from the github registry?

[fiery wigeon]

Yes

[foggy rose]

I can get to the bottom of it with a minimal repro. of what you have, but I lack expertise in setting up something like that, maybe you can help here?

would def. prioritize this

[fiery wigeon]

I can help yes. I'll try to reproduce the setup on my local instance and give you all the details.

I found the origin of the issue @foggy rose

It was a network related one, sorry for asking
