Authentication provider using Synology DSM users for Home Assistant

Authentication provider using Synology DSM users for Home Assistant

The Synology authentication provider lets you authenticate using the users in your Synology DSM. Anyone with a user account on your Synology NAS will be able to login.

The provider supports 2-factor authentication, according to what is configured in DSM. When logging in, there will be a field to enter the 2FA code. The field is optional, but it should be used if your account in DSM requires 2FA. Otherwise, it can be left empty.

The use of 2FA within this provider is independent of the 2FA configuration in Home Assistant. If you enable 2FA in Home Assistant, and it is also enabled in Synology, you will have to enter 2 2FA codes.

The provider requires DSM 7.0 or newer.

Configuration

Add the following to your Home Assistant configuration:

homeassistant:
  auth_providers:
    - type: synology
      host: nas.local
      port: 443
      secure: true
      verify_cert: true

• host: IP address or hostname of your NAS.
• port: Port on which DSM is available. Make sure to use one corresponding to HTTP or HTTPS as configured with secure .
• secure (optional): Enable this to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. (default: false)
• verify_cert (optional): Enable this to verify the certificate when using HTTPS (default: false). Make sure to disable this when using self-signed certificates or an IP address instead of a hostname. The setting is ignored when secure is false.

Troubleshooting

If any errors occur, make sure to check your Home Assistant logs. If the connection succeeds, but authentication fails, Synology DSM will output an error code. The meaning of the error code can be found in the Synology DSM Login API documentation.
