:::warning{title="OIDC versus OAuth, and supported clients"}
**OIDC** is not to be confused with **OAuth**. In the context of Matrix, OAuth is the protocol that Matrix clients use to authenticate with the _homeserver_. OIDC is the protocol that the _homeserver_ uses to communicate with the _identity provider_. Continuwuity supports OAuth by default, alongside the legacy **UIAA** authentication framework.
When OIDC is configured, Continuwuity will disable its support for UIAA. **Only clients that support OAuth**, such as
the Element family of clients, will be able to log in when OIDC is configured. If your client of choice shows an error
when you try to log in after configuring OIDC, it likely does not support OAuth. This is an issue with your client, not
Continuwuity, and should be reported to your client's developers.
