We are trying to enable MFA in our environment, we have our own OAuth Provider and they are using Generic OIDC OAuth, I received all the secret and endpoints, this is what I updated in our /etc/jupyter/jupyterhub\_config.py and restart jupyterhub, the service fails after restart. Not sure below configuration is accurate. Can somebody help?

c.JupyterHub.authenticator\_class = ‘oauthenticator.generic.GenericOAuthenticator’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.oauth\_callback\_url = ‘https://\<jupyterhub\_url\>/hub/oauth\_callback’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.client\_id = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.client\_secret = ‘yyyyyyyyyyyy’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.token\_url = ‘https://\<provider\_url\>/auth/oauth/v2/token’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.userdata\_url = ‘https://\<provider\_url\>/openid/connect/v1/userinfo’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.userdata\_method = ‘GET’  
c.GenericOAuthenticator.scope = [‘openid’, ‘profile’, ‘email’]

Please can you turn on debug logging and show us the hub logs? Can you also tell us your version of JupyterHub and OAutthenticator, and a bit about how you’ve deployed everything?
