To initiate a user session in Ory Kratos after completing the GitHub login process, you need to follow these steps: 1. Configure the GitHub social sign-in provider in Ory Kratos. 2. Set up the necessary OAuth scopes and data mapping. 3. Use the "session" hook to automatically create a session after successful registration. Here's a more detailed explanation: 1. First, make sure you've properly configured GitHub as a social sign-in provider in Ory Kratos. You can do this using the Ory Console or CLI as described in the [GitHub Social Sign-In documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/github). 2. In your configuration, ensure you've added the necessary scopes (e.g.,

user:email

) and set up the appropriate data mapping to retrieve the user details you need. 3. To automatically create a session after successful registration with GitHub, you need to add the "session" hook to your Ory Kratos configuration. This is crucial for social sign-in flows to provide a smooth user experience. Add the following configuration to your

kratos.yml

file:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       after:         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: session

This configuration will automatically create a session for the user after they successfully register or log in using GitHub (or any other configured OIDC provider). After adding this configuration, when a user completes the GitHub login process, Ory Kratos will automatically create a session for them. You don't need to manually start the session or make additional API calls to Ory Kratos. The session will be returned in the response after successful authentication. For browser-based flows, Ory Kratos will set a session cookie. For API clients, it will return a session token in the response body. It's important to note that you should not need to manually call the GitHub API to retrieve user details. Ory Kratos handles this process internally based on the scopes and data mapping you've configured. If you're still facing issues after implementing these steps, you may need to review your entire Ory Kratos configuration and ensure all components are properly set up. [Ory Kratos Self-Service Flows Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-registration#successful-registration) provides more details on how sessions are handled after successful registration, including examples of the response format for both browser-based and API clients.

I understand you're using a self-hosted open-source version of Ory Kratos with a custom frontend based on the Ory Kratos Next.js React example. This context is important for providing a more specific answer to your situation. Given that you're using the Ory Kratos Next.js React example, you're already on the right track for integrating social sign-in, including GitHub login. This example project is designed to work with Ory Kratos and includes the necessary components for handling authentication flows. Here are some key points to consider for your setup: 1. Configuration: Ensure that your self-hosted Ory Kratos instance is properly configured for GitHub social sign-in. This includes setting up the GitHub OAuth app and configuring the provider in your Kratos configuration file. 2. Session Management: The example project you're using already includes session management logic. You can find this in the

src/pkg/sdk.ts

file of the example project, which sets up the Ory SDK with the correct configuration for handling sessions. 3. Login Flow: The example project includes a

pages/login.tsx

file that handles the login flow, including social sign-in. This page should automatically handle the GitHub login process when properly configured. 4. Session Hooks: As mentioned in my previous answer, make sure you have the "session" hook configured in your Kratos configuration to automatically create sessions after successful social sign-in. 5. Environment Variables: Ensure that you've set up the correct environment variables, especially

ORY_SDK_URL

, which should point to your self-hosted Kratos instance. If you've followed the setup instructions for the example project and properly configured your self-hosted Kratos instance, the session should be automatically created after a successful GitHub login. You shouldn't need to manually start the session or make additional API calls to GitHub or Kratos. If you're still experiencing issues, you might want to: 1. Double-check your Kratos configuration, especially the social sign-in and session hook settings. 2. Verify that your GitHub OAuth app is correctly set up with the proper callback URL. 3. Check the Kratos logs for any error messages during the login process. 4. Ensure that the

ORY_SDK_URL

in your Next.js app is correctly pointing to your self-hosted Kratos instance. For more detailed information on setting up and customizing the login flow, you can refer to the [Login and Registration pages documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#login-and-registration-pages) which explains how these pages interact with Ory APIs to handle authentication flows. If you're still facing specific issues after verifying these points, please provide more details about the exact problem you're encountering, and I'll be happy to assist further.

You're correct in asking about the GitHub API call. Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, you do not need to make a direct call to

<https://api.github.com/user>

when using Ory Kratos for social sign-in with GitHub. Here's why: 1. Ory Kratos handles the OAuth flow: When properly configured, Ory Kratos manages the entire OAuth process with GitHub, including retrieving user information. 2. Data mapping: Ory Kratos uses a data mapper to extract and map the user information received from GitHub to the Ory identity structure. This is done automatically as part of the social sign-in flow. 3. Automatic session creation: If you've configured the "session" hook as mentioned in the [Social Sign-In documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/github), Ory Kratos will automatically create a session after successful authentication with GitHub. The [GitHub social sign-in documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/github) explains that you need to set up the OAuth app in GitHub, configure the provider in Ory Kratos, and set up the data mapping. Once these are in place, Ory Kratos handles the interaction with GitHub's API internally. The [data mapping example](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/data-mapping#end-to-end-github-example) shows how Ory Kratos processes the claims received from GitHub, which includes the user information you would typically get from the

/user

endpoint. In summary, when using Ory Kratos for social sign-in with GitHub, you should not need to make a separate call to

<https://api.github.com/user>

. Ory Kratos abstracts this process, handling the API interactions and data mapping for you as part of its social sign-in flow.

Certainly! I'll provide you with the steps for setting up GitHub social sign-in with a self-hosted version of Ory Kratos without using the Ory Console. These steps are based on the [Social Sign-In documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/github) and adapted for self-hosted Kratos: 1. Define the redirect URL for your Ory Kratos instance:

http(s)://<domain-of-ory-kratos>:<public-port>/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/github

2. Create a new OAuth App in GitHub: - Go to [GitHub Developer settings → OAuth Apps](https://github.com/settings/developers) - Click "New OAuth App" - Fill in the required details, including the Authorization Callback URL from step 1 3. After registering the application, GitHub will provide you with a Client ID and Client Secret. Keep these for later use. 4. Create a Jsonnet code snippet to map GitHub claims to your Ory Identity schema. Here's a basic example:

jsonnet    local claims = {      email_verified: false,    } + std.extVar('claims');     {      identity: {        traits: {          [if 'email' in claims && claims.email_verified then 'email' else null]: claims.email,        },        metadata_public: {          github_username: claims.username,        }      },    }

5. Encode the Jsonnet snippet with Base64 or store it in a location accessible to your Ory Kratos instance. 6. Add the GitHub provider configuration to your Kratos configuration file (e.g.,

kratos.yml

):

yaml    selfservice:      methods:        oidc:          config:            providers:              - id: github                provider: github                client_id: <your-github-client-id>                client_secret: <your-github-client-secret>                mapper_url: "base64://{YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_JSONNET_HERE}"                # Or use a file path:                # mapper_url: file:///etc/config/kratos/github_mapper.jsonnet                scope:                  - user:email          enabled: true      flows:        registration:          after:            oidc:              hooks:                - hook: session

7. Restart your Ory Kratos instance to apply the new configuration. These steps will configure your self-hosted Ory Kratos instance to use GitHub as a social sign-in provider. Remember to adjust the configuration according to your specific needs and environment. For more detailed information on self-hosted Kratos configuration, you can refer to the [Self-hosted Kratos Configuration documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/self-hosted/kratos/configuration/oidc).

To add WebAuthn and Passkey methods for signup in your self-hosted Ory Kratos instance, you need to configure these methods in your Kratos configuration file. Here's how you can do it: 1. WebAuthn Configuration: Add the following to your

kratos.yml

configuration file:

yaml selfservice:   methods:     webauthn:       config:         passwordless: false         rp:           display_name: Your Application name           id: localhost  # Set this to your top-level domain           origins:             - <http://localhost:4455>  # Set this to the exact URL of your login page       enabled: true

2. Passkey Configuration: Add the following to your

kratos.yml

configuration file:

yaml selfservice:   methods:     passkey:       enabled: true       config:         rp:           display_name: Your Application name           id: localhost  # Set this to your top-level domain           origins:             - <http://localhost:4455>  # Set this to the exact URL of your login page

3. Identity Schema Configuration: You need to update your identity schema to include the WebAuthn and Passkey fields. Here's an example:

json {   "$schema": "<http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#>",   "type": "object",   "properties": {     "traits": {       "type": "object",       "properties": {         "email": {           "type": "string",           "format": "email",           "title": "Your E-Mail",           "minLength": 3,           "<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>": {             "credentials": {               "webauthn": {                 "identifier": true               },               "passkey": {                 "display_name": true               }             }           }         }       }     }   } }

4. Add necessary JavaScript: For WebAuthn, you need to add the WebAuthn JavaScript to your login page:

html <head>   <script src="/.well-known/ory/webauthn.js"></script> </head>

After making these changes, restart your Ory Kratos instance to apply the new configuration. Remember to adjust the

id

and

origins

in the configuration to match your actual domain and login page URL. For more detailed information, you can refer to the following documentation: - [Passkeys & WebAuthN documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys) - [WebAuthn Configuration](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/mfa/webauthn-fido-yubikey#configuration) - [Passkey Configuration](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys#passkeys-with-the-dedicated-passkey-strategy) Note that the Passkey method is a more modern and user-friendly implementation of WebAuthn. If you're implementing a new system, it's recommended to use Passkeys instead of the legacy WebAuthn method.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and the context of your previous questions, I can provide you with a specific answer regarding the use of

/.well-known/ory/webauthn.js

in the Ory Kratos Next.js React example. When using the [Ory Kratos Next.js React example](https://github.com/ory/kratos-nextjs-react-example) for your custom frontend, you do not need to manually add the

/.well-known/ory/webauthn.js

script to your HTML. The example project is designed to work with Ory Kratos out of the box and includes the necessary components for handling authentication flows, including WebAuthn and Passkeys. The example project uses the Ory Elements library, which internally handles the WebAuthn and Passkey functionality. This library abstracts away the need for directly including the WebAuthn script. However, it's important to ensure that your Ory Kratos backend is properly configured to serve the WebAuthn JavaScript file. This is typically done automatically when you set up WebAuthn or Passkeys in your Kratos configuration. If you're using the example project as a starting point for your custom frontend, you should focus on: 1. Configuring WebAuthn and/or Passkeys in your Ory Kratos backend configuration as described in the [Passkeys & WebAuthN documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys). 2. Ensuring that your Ory Kratos instance is accessible to your Next.js application (check the

ORY_SDK_URL

environment variable in the example project). 3. Customizing the UI components as needed, while keeping the core authentication logic intact. By following these steps, you should be able to implement WebAuthn and Passkey functionality without manually adding the

/.well-known/ory/webauthn.js

script to your HTML.

Yes, the creation of the

ory_kratos_continuity

cookie is intended behavior when using OIDC (OpenID Connect) options in Ory Kratos. This cookie is an essential part of the OIDC flow and serves a specific purpose. The

ory_kratos_continuity

cookie is used by Ory Kratos to maintain state during the OIDC authentication process. It helps Kratos keep track of the ongoing authentication flow, especially when redirecting the user to the identity provider (in your case, GitHub) and back. According to the [Ory Kratos Session Management documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/overview#using-ory-session-cookie), Kratos uses several cookies for different purposes: 1. `ory_kratos_session`: The main session cookie. 2. `csrf_token`: Used for CSRF protection. 3. `ory_kratos_continuity`: Used for maintaining state during multi-step flows like OIDC. It's worth noting that there have been some issues reported regarding the domain setting of the

ory_kratos_continuity

cookie. As mentioned in a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/ory/kratos/issues/2713), the cookie might not have its domain set correctly in some cases, which can cause problems in multi-domain setups. If you're experiencing any issues related to this cookie, especially if you're running Kratos under a subdomain, you might want to check your cookie configuration. The [Cookie Settings documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/guides/configuring-cookies) provides information on how to configure cookie domains and paths if needed. In summary, the creation of the

ory_kratos_continuity

cookie after updating your

kratos.yml

to handle OIDC options is expected and necessary for the proper functioning of the OIDC flow in Ory Kratos.

I understand you're using the Ory Kratos Next.js React example for your custom frontend and encountering a 404 error after clicking on the GitHub or Google sign-in options. This issue suggests there might be a mismatch between your frontend configuration and your Ory Kratos backend setup. Let's go through some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Check your Ory Kratos configuration: Ensure that your

kratos.yml

file is correctly configured for social sign-in providers. The [Social Sign-In documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/github) provides the necessary steps for setting up GitHub and other providers. Make sure you've added the correct provider configurations under the

selfservice.methods.oidc.config.providers

section. 2. Verify the redirect URIs: Double-check that the redirect URIs in your GitHub and Google OAuth app settings match the ones expected by your Ory Kratos instance. The redirect URI should typically be in this format:

http(s)://<domain-of-ory-kratos>:<public-port>/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/<provider>

Replace

<provider>

with

github

or

google

accordingly. 3. Check your environment variables: In the Next.js example project, make sure the

ORY_SDK_URL

environment variable is correctly set to point to your self-hosted Ory Kratos instance. This should be in your

.env.local

file or set as an environment variable. 4. Inspect the network requests: Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the network requests when you click on the social sign-in options. Look for any errors in the request or response that might provide more information about the 404 error. 5. Check Ory Kratos logs: Examine the logs of your self-hosted Ory Kratos instance for any error messages or warnings that might explain why the social sign-in flow is failing. 6. Verify the frontend routes: Ensure that your Next.js application is correctly set up to handle the social sign-in flow. The example project should have this configured, but double-check the

pages/login.tsx

and

pages/registration.tsx

files to ensure they're handling the OIDC flow correctly. 7. Update to the latest version: Make sure you're using the latest version of the Ory Kratos Next.js React example and that your Ory Kratos instance is up to date. There might have been fixes or improvements in recent versions. If after checking these points you're still encountering issues, you might want to: 1. Review the [Login and Registration pages documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#login-and-registration-pages) to ensure your custom frontend is correctly implementing the authentication flow. 2. Check the [GitHub issues for the example project](https://github.com/ory/kratos-nextjs-react-example/issues) to see if others have reported similar problems and if there are any known solutions.

,

<your-github-client-secret>

,

<your-google-client-id>

, and

<your-google-client-secret>

with the actual values from steps 1a and 1b. 4. Update your Identity Schema: Ensure your identity schema (

identity.schema.json

) includes the necessary fields for GitHub and Google data:

json    {      "$id": "<https://schemas.ory.sh/presets/kratos/quickstart/email-password/identity.schema.json>",      "$schema": "<http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#>",      "title": "Person",      "type": "object",      "properties": {        "traits": {          "type": "object",          "properties": {            "email": {              "type": "string",              "format": "email",              "title": "E-Mail",              "minLength": 3,              "<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>": {                "credentials": {                  "password": {                    "identifier": true                  }                },                "verification": {                  "via": "email"                },                "recovery": {                  "via": "email"                }              }            },            "name": {              "type": "string"            },            "github_username": {              "type": "string"            }          },          "required": [            "email"          ],          "additionalProperties": false        }      }    }

5. Place the Jsonnet mapping files: Place

github_mapper.jsonnet

and

google_mapper.jsonnet

in the

/etc/config/kratos/

directory (or wherever you specified in the

kratos.yml

file). 6. Restart Ory Kratos: After making these changes, restart your Ory Kratos instance to apply the new configuration. 7. Update your frontend: If you're using the [Ory Kratos Next.js React example](https://github.com/ory/kratos-nextjs-react-example), ensure that the

ORY_SDK_URL

environment variable in your

.env.local

file points to your self-hosted Kratos instance:

ORY_SDK_URL=http(s)://<domain-of-ory-kratos>:<public-port>

8. Test the integration: Try logging in or registering using the GitHub and Google options in your frontend. If you encounter any issues, check the Kratos logs for error messages. Remember to adjust file paths, URLs, and other configuration details according to your specific setup. Also, ensure that your Kratos instance is accessible from your frontend application. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Self-hosted Kratos Configuration documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/self-hosted/kratos/configuration/oidc) and the [Social Sign-In documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/overview).

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, the behavior you're observing where only the

ory_kratos_continuity

cookie is generated when clicking on the GitHub or Google login option, without the

ory_kratos_session

cookie, is expected at this stage of the authentication process. Here's why: 1. The

ory_kratos_continuity

cookie is used by Ory Kratos to maintain state during the OIDC authentication process. It's created when you initiate the social login flow and helps Kratos keep track of the ongoing authentication process [Source](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/53). 2. The

ory_kratos_session

cookie is only created after a successful authentication. It's not generated immediately when you click on the social login option, but rather after the entire authentication flow is completed [Source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-login#successful-login). 3. The social login process involves redirecting the user to the identity provider (GitHub or Google in your case) and then back to your application. The

ory_kratos_session

cookie will only be set after this entire process is completed successfully. To ensure that the

ory_kratos_session

cookie is created after successful authentication, make sure you have configured the "session" hook in your

kratos.yml

file under the OIDC registration and login flows:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       after:         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: session     login:       after:         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: session

If you've confirmed this configuration and you're still not seeing the

ory_kratos_session

cookie after completing the entire login process (including the redirect back from GitHub or Google), then there might be an issue with your setup. In that case, you should: 1. Check your Ory Kratos logs for any error messages. 2. Verify that the redirect URIs in your GitHub and Google OAuth app settings match the ones expected by your Ory Kratos instance. 3. Ensure that your frontend application (based on the Ory Kratos Next.js React example) is correctly handling the authentication flow. If the problem persists after these checks, you may need to investigate further by examining the network requests and responses during the authentication process using your browser's developer tools.

To ensure that your frontend application, based on the Ory Kratos Next.js React example, is correctly handling the authentication flow, you should focus on the following key aspects: 1. Environment Configuration: Make sure your

.env.local

file is correctly set up with the

ORY_SDK_URL

pointing to your self-hosted Kratos instance:

ORY_SDK_URL=http(s)://<domain-of-ory-kratos>:<public-port>

This is crucial for the frontend to communicate with your Kratos backend [Source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/nextjs#run-your-nextjs-app). 2. SDK Configuration: Check that the Ory SDK is properly initialized in your application. This is typically done in a file like `src/pkg/sdk.ts`:

typescript
   import { Configuration, FrontendApi } from "@ory/client"
   import { edgeConfig } from "@ory/integrations/next"

   const ory = new FrontendApi(new Configuration(edgeConfig))

This setup ensures that the SDK is configured to work with your Kratos instance [Source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/nextjs#require-login-to-access-the-home-page). 3. Login Flow Handling: Review your login page (usually

pages/login.tsx

) to ensure it's correctly implementing the login flow. It should: - Create or fetch a login flow - Render the appropriate UI elements for social login - Handle the response after social login redirect Here's a simplified example:

typescript
   useEffect(() => {
     ory
       .createBrowserLoginFlow()
       .then(({ data: flow }) => {
         setFlow(flow)
       })
       .catch((err) => {
         // Handle error
       })
   }, [])

[Source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#create-login-flow) 4. Session Management: Ensure your application is correctly checking for and handling sessions. This is typically done in protected routes or components:

typescript
   useEffect(() => {
     ory
       .toSession()
       .then(({ data }) => {
         setSession(data)
       })
       .catch(() => {
         // Redirect to login page
         router.push("/login")
       })
   }, [])

[Source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/nextjs#require-login-to-access-the-home-page) 5. Error Handling: Implement proper error handling for authentication flows. This includes handling errors from Kratos API calls and displaying appropriate messages to users. 6. Redirect Handling: Ensure your application correctly handles redirects after social login. This typically involves checking for flow IDs in the URL and fetching the appropriate flow data. 7. CSRF Protection: Verify that CSRF tokens are correctly included in your forms and requests to Kratos. 8. Logout Flow: Implement a proper logout flow that destroys the session both on the frontend and in Kratos.

To ensure that your frontend application, based on the Ory Kratos Next.js React example, is correctly handling the authentication flow, you should focus on the following key aspects: 1. Environment Configuration: Make sure your

CSRF Protection: Verify that CSRF tokens are correctly included in your forms and requests to Kratos. 8. Logout Flow: Implement a proper logout flow that destroys the session both on the frontend and in Kratos. By carefully reviewing and implementing these aspects, you can ensure that your frontend application is correctly handling the authentication flow with Ory Kratos. If you're still experiencing issues, you may need to use browser developer tools to inspect network requests and responses during the authentication process to identify any specific problems. For more detailed information on implementing these flows, refer to the [Login and Registration pages documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#login-and-registration-pages) which provides examples of how these pages should interact with Ory APIs to handle authentication flows.

The error you're encountering suggests that there's an issue with the configuration of the login flow in your

kratos.yml

file, specifically in the

selfservice.flows.login.after.oidc

section. The configuration you've added is not valid according to the current schema for Ory Kratos. This error typically occurs when the configuration structure doesn't match the expected format. Based on the available documentation and the error message, here's how you can correct your configuration: 1. First, ensure that you have the

oidc

method enabled in your configuration:

yaml selfservice:   methods:     oidc:       enabled: true

2. Then, modify your login flow configuration as follows:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     login:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: session         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: session

The key difference here is that the

oidc

configuration should be at the same level as

password

, not nested under

after

. This structure aligns with the expected configuration format for Ory Kratos. 3. If you want to apply the session hook to all methods, you can use this configuration:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     login:       after:         default_browser_return_url: <http://localhost:4455/>         hooks:           - hook: session

This configuration applies the session hook to all authentication methods, including OIDC. 4. Make sure you have a similar configuration for the registration flow as well:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: session         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: session

After making these changes, restart your Ory Kratos instance to apply the new configuration. If you continue to experience issues, you may want to refer to the [Ory Kratos Configuration Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/configuration) for the most up-to-date configuration structure. The configuration format can change between versions, so ensure that your configuration matches the version of Ory Kratos you're using. Remember to always validate your YAML syntax after making changes to avoid any formatting errors. [Ory Kratos Hooks Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks) provides more details on configuring hooks for different flows and methods. If the problem persists after these changes, you may need to review your entire

kratos.yml

file for any other potential conflicts or misconfigurations.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. You are correct, and I made a mistake in interpreting the configuration. The

session

hook is indeed not a valid hook type in the context you've described. Let me provide you with the correct information based on the available knowledge sources. The

session

action (not hook) is used to sign in the user after they successfully register or log in. It's not configured as a hook, but rather as part of the flow configuration. Here's the correct way to configure it:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: show_verification_ui           hooks:             - hook: session     login:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: revoke_active_sessions         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: revoke_active_sessions

In this configuration: 1. The

session

action is used directly under the

after

section for each method (password, oidc), not as a hook. 2. Other valid hooks like

show_verification_ui

or

revoke_active_sessions

can be used as actual hooks. The [Actions in Ory Identities documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#available-actions) lists the available actions, including

session

, which is described as: "Signs in the user immediately after they create an account." For OIDC providers specifically, the [Self-hosted Kratos Configuration documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/self-hosted/kratos/configuration/oidc) recommends adding the

session

action to prevent having to log in again after sign-up:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       after:         oidc:           hooks:             - hook: session

I apologize again for the earlier confusion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, as it allows me to provide more accurate information.

After the GitHub login is complete and the user is redirected back to the

/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/github

slug, Ory Kratos handles several steps automatically. Here's what happens next: 1. Ory Kratos processes the callback: Kratos validates the callback data received from GitHub and extracts the user information. 2. Data mapping: Kratos uses the configured Jsonnet mapper (as defined in your

kratos.yml

) to map the GitHub user data to your Ory Identity schema. 3. Identity creation or update: If this is a new user, Kratos creates a new identity. If the user already exists, their identity is updated with any new information from GitHub. 4. Session creation: Assuming you've configured the

session

action in your

kratos.yml

file, Kratos automatically creates a session for the user. This is done as part of the flow configuration, not as a hook. 5. Redirect: Kratos redirects the user to the configured post-login URL. This URL is typically set in your

kratos.yml

file under the

selfservice.flows.login.after.oidc.default_browser_return_url

setting. For your frontend application (based on the Ory Kratos Next.js React example), you don't need to handle the

/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/github

endpoint directly. Instead, your application should: 1. Check for an active session: After the redirect, your frontend should check if a session has been created. You can do this using the Ory SDK:

typescript    useEffect(() => {      ory        .toSession()        .then(({ data }) => {          setSession(data)          // Redirect to a logged-in page or update UI        })        .catch(() => {          // Handle case where session is not created        })    }, [])

2. Handle the redirect: Your application should be prepared to handle the redirect from Kratos. This typically involves checking for any error parameters in the URL and displaying appropriate messages to the user. 3. Update UI: Once a session is confirmed, update your UI to reflect the logged-in state. If you're experiencing any issues with this flow, you should: 1. Check your Kratos logs for any error messages during the callback processing. 2. Verify that your

kratos.yml

configuration is correct, especially the OIDC provider settings and post-login redirect URLs. 3. Ensure that your frontend application is correctly configured to use the Ory SDK and handle session checks. For more detailed information on implementing these flows, you can refer to the [Login and Registration pages documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#login-and-registration-pages), which provides examples of how these pages should interact with Ory APIs to handle authentication flows.

I apologize for the confusion. If the

/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/github

endpoint is throwing a 404 error, this indicates a misconfiguration in your Ory Kratos setup. Let's troubleshoot this issue step by step: 1. Check your Kratos configuration: Ensure that your

kratos.yml

file correctly configures the GitHub OIDC provider. The configuration should look something like this:

yaml    selfservice:      methods:        oidc:          enabled: true          config:            providers:              - id: github                provider: github                client_id: <your-github-client-id>                client_secret: <your-github-client-secret>                mapper_url: file:///etc/config/kratos/github_mapper.jsonnet                scope:                  - user:email

[Source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/github) 2. Verify the callback URL: Make sure the callback URL in your GitHub OAuth App settings matches exactly what Kratos expects. It should be in this format:

http(s)://<domain-of-ory-kratos>:<public-port>/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/github

Double-check that there are no typos or mismatches between this URL and what's configured in GitHub. 3. Check Kratos logs: Examine the Kratos logs for any error messages related to the OIDC configuration or callback handling. This might provide more insight into why the endpoint is not being recognized. 4. Verify Kratos version: Ensure you're using a recent version of Ory Kratos. The callback URL structure might have changed in newer versions. 5. Check your reverse proxy configuration: If you're using a reverse proxy (like Nginx), make sure it's correctly forwarding requests to Kratos, including the callback URL. 6. Restart Kratos: After making any configuration changes, restart your Kratos instance to ensure the new settings take effect. 7. Test with curl: Try to access the callback URL directly using curl to see if it's a problem with Kratos or with your frontend application:

curl -v http(s)://<domain-of-ory-kratos>:<public-port>/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/github

This should return a 404 only if the endpoint truly doesn't exist. If after checking these points you're still encountering the 404 error, it might be worth reviewing your entire Kratos setup, including network configurations and any intermediary services between your frontend and Kratos. For more detailed troubleshooting steps, you can refer to the [Social sign-in troubleshooting](https://www.ory.sh/docs/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-social-sign-in) documentation, which covers common issues with OIDC integrations, including problems with callback URLs. If the problem persists, you may need to provide more details about your specific setup, including relevant parts of your Kratos configuration and any error messages from the Kratos logs, to diagnose the issue more accurately.

Based on the knowledge sources, I can provide you with information about the different options for hooks in Ory Kratos. The

hook

field in your configuration can take several values, each serving a different purpose. According to the [Actions in Ory Identities documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#available-actions), there are 4 main actions you can use: 1.

session

- Signs in the user immediately after they create an account. This is only for use with the

after

registration flow. To use it, you must define secrets for secret rotation. 2.

revoke_active_sessions

- Revokes all other active sessions of the user on successful login. This is for use only with the login flow. 3.

require_verified_address

- Allows users to sign in only when they verified their email address. This is for use only with the

after

login flow,

password

method only. 4.

web_hook

- Allows you to trigger external and custom logic. This can be used with all flows and methods except error and logout. It requires providing webhook configuration and is the only action type available for the

after

settings flow. Additionally, from other knowledge sources, we can see examples of other hooks: 5.

show_verification_ui

- Used to show the verification UI after registration, as seen in the [two-step registration discussion](https://github.com/ory/kratos/discussions/3931). Here's an example of how you might configure different hooks:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: session             - hook: show_verification_ui     login:       after:         hooks:           - hook: require_verified_address           - hook: revoke_active_sessions     settings:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: revoke_active_sessions

The hooks are executed in the order they are defined in the configuration. For more information on how to configure hooks and their trigger precedence, you can refer to the [Hook Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks).
