Hi folks,

I’m seeing there are multiple services which externalise the task of “identity provider” (e.g. login with Facebook, google or what not).

In my case, I am curious about Tailscale, a VPN service which allows one to chose an identity provider/SSO between Google, Microsoft, Github, Apple and OIDC.

How can I find out what data is actually communicates to the identity provider? Their task should simply be to decide whether I am who I claim to be, nothing more. But I’m guessing there may be some subtleties.

In the case of Tailscale, would the identity provider know where I’m trying to connect? Or more?

Answers and insights much appreciated! The topic does not seem to have much information online.

    Do you use Authentik specifically with Tailscale? That’s interesting, indeed I would definitely want that. I was under the impression that it required something like headscale but it seems not to be the case. Thanks!

    Edit: minor edit.

      I use Headscale, but I think I read somewhere that Tailscale allows custom OIDC providers now.
