Special features

Support for OIDC authentication

If your Proxmox installation is set up to authenticate against an OIDC provider like Keycloak, you can still use MyProx. MyProx still authenticates against your Proxmox cluster but no longer based on username and password.

You need to set the URL of your MyProx installation as a valid redirect URL in the Proxmox client configuration of your identity provider, e.g. https://myprox.mydomain.de/redirect_uri. Then set the OIDC related options, at least the Proxmox realm to be used. Now you can leave username and password fields empty in the login form to authenticate against your OIDC provider.
