I just stumbled across the fact that my config used delegation as recommended by the docs, and hosted Synapse on a subdomain. However my config never had public_baseurl set and worked without issues, until I just now tried to setup OIDC.

OIDC is initialized by the client instructing to open a URL on the homeserver, and initially the correct URL is called, but Synapse does not recognize it without public_baseurl being set correctly. After changing this it immediately started working.

So in order to prevent anybody from making the same mistake, this adds a small clarifying block in the OIDC docs.

    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
    • Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by @github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the entry.
  • Code style is correct (run the linters)
