# for more information see:
# https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet/blob/master/env.example

# weather to allow users to join a room without requiring to authenticate
#ENABLE_GUESTS=1

# fixed
ENABLE_AUTH=1
AUTH_TYPE=jwt

# should be the same as JITSI_ID of jitsi-openid environment variables
JWT_APP_ID=meet.example.com
# should be the same as JITSI_SECRET of jitsi-openid environment variables
JWT_APP_SECRET=SECRET

# fixed values
JWT_ACCEPTED_ISSUERS=jitsi
JWT_ACCEPTED_AUDIENCES=jitsi

# auth.meet.example.com should be the domain name of jitsi-openid,
# `/room/{room}` is the endpoint that's jitsi redirecting the user to
# `{room}` is is a placeholder, where jitsi inserts the room name
# jitsi-openid should redirect the user after a successfully authentication
# !! it is recommend to use ALWAYS https e.g. using a reverse proxy !!
TOKEN_AUTH_URL=https://auth.meet.example.com/room/{room}

Jitsi JWTs

The JWTs are populated using the data returned by your IDP. This includes the user id, email and name.

The sub extracted from the prefered_username field, if that isn't preset the sub field is used.

The name is extracted from the name field, if that isn't preset a concatenation of given_name, middle_name and family_name is used. If all tree of them are also not present the prefered_username is used.

The affiliation is straight up passed, without any modifications or alternatives. It can be used to restrict the permissions a user has in a specific room in jitsi. See https://github.com/jitsi-contrib/prosody-plugins/tree/main/token_affiliation for more information.

The picture (avatar) URL is delegated from the IDP to Jitsi.
