Add Telegram as a social login provider

[trashcluster]

Telegram offers an authentication mechanism for websites, i've seen some websites that did this --> https///portal.bcc.no. The login page is Auth0 so integrating it is possible

https://telegram.org/blog/login https://core.telegram.org/widgets/login

I've searched without luck for a keycloak plugin for this function but nobody seems to have investigated it but now that i've come across Authentik project it seems way more suited for it.

Contributing to interest in this. It'd be useful under numerous circumstances, including the ability to filter based on groups someone is a member of.

This feature would be greatly appreciated

This is the most useful feature, moreover, in addition to sending messages to email, need add sending messages to telegram bot.

[mahdikiani]

I think this feature is more needed now

[prostoprojekt]

Yep, that would be great to see Telegram auth in nearest releases!

[Didza]

We would really appreciate this feature.

yes! i wonder how easy it would be to generate an automatic login URL via api... a telegram bot could request it for the user who's account is linked and then the bot would send a login url for the user to click and done

any updates on this?

@Mrs-Feathers I may give it a try using a variation on the Email stage, storing the user's information in attributes.

I'd upvote this as well!

The big issue is that despite the URL using oauth.telegram.org not having a lot of oauth in it, therefore, most tools like authentik don't support it, the way how portal.bcc.no seems to have done it, is by implementing their own login provider, which converts telegram to something auth0 supports.

I have done a very hacky poc of this here which is compatible with authentik until we have someting permanent, similar to this comment in the steam issue https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/issues/2282#issuecomment-1574993069
