Self-hosted Zitadel v4 OIDC field guide — a numbered quirk catalogue, working docker-compose and an idempotent TypeScript bootstrap. High-friction traps: FirstInstance env placement, JWT/JWKS over self-signed HTTPS, `--tlsMode external` and the console's mixed-content `Failed to fetch`, v2.66→v4, API v1→v2, silent-renew, 401 storms, UI language from the `locale` claim. Triggers — zitadel, oidc self-hosted, JWKS, masterkey, v2.66→v4, tlsMode external, pre-cutover check, locale claim.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Zitadel IdP — Field Guide

This skill captures patterns and pitfalls discovered while integrating Zitadel `v4.x` self-hosted as the IdP for the JRC Brasil ERP. It exists to prevent every new project from re-discovering the same gotchas the hard way.

**Scope**: Zitadel `v4.x` (latest as of 2026-04) is the default target. v3 differs in a few places (notably no `OrganizationService.AddOrganization` v2 endpoint) — the references flag breaking changes when relevant. **v2.66.x** is also covered for one specific edge case (Quirk 24, masterkey via flag) because legacy stacks still run it; the rest of the skill remains v4-first.

**Out of scope**: Zitadel Cloud (managed), v3 setup, SAML flows, federation IdPs (login with Google/GitHub), Login UI v2 customization. The skill assumes self-hosted, OIDC-only, with the bundled Login UI v1.

## When to use this skill

Read this skill before you start any of the following:

- Drafting a `docker-compose.yml` that includes Zitadel
- Writing a script that programmatically creates Orgs, Projects, Roles, Apps via Management API
- Implementing JWT validation for Zitadel access tokens in any backend (Node/Go/Java/Python)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add j0ruge/skills/zitadel-idp@sha256:f88c318912b992af

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.20.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
