I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
There are repetitive errors and warnings related to OAuth; however, I was able to log in and use the app using OAuth authentication.
Actual Behavior
Repeatitive messages like the following.
Steps to Reproduce
Set up the openweb-ui container with OAuth support using OIDC.

Additional Information
I don't fully understand how to use the ENABLE_OAUTH_PERSISTENT_CONFIG settings, so I set it to false.
I wonder if the error is related to the value in OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY. The key value is not some random string. It is a Fernet encryption key, but there's no mention of it in the document. I wonder if there are other hidden requirements of this key or other related settings that I didn't set correctly.

No. I thinks the doc says if I set OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY, I
don't need to set the web secret key. Also, the log says it generated one
on startup.
If I set the web secret key, do I need to reset the database?

incorrect, the docs say that OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY defaults back to WEBUI_SECRET_KEY
It does not say you don't need to set the WEBUI_SECRET_KEY
In fact, the SSO tutorial page specifically says that WEBUI_SECRET_KEY is required.

Correction: The SSO Troubleshooting Tutorial says it, not the normal one. Updating the docs rn!
But the troubleshooting tutorial should have been conducted first before opening an issue

I have set both WEBUI_SECRET_KEY and OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY to the same value and still get this Error. The site still seems to be functional.
Perhaps it's related to my OIDC provider? I am using cloud-iam.com, which uses KeyCloak for its service.

I enabled the global debugging log, but I don't find anything useful.
Here's the full container log https://0x0.st/KBRE.log.
Is there any particular log or configuration setting you are looking for?
Also, I found the error did not occur right after I logged in, but after I
started a new chat session. The error log only occurred once, but the
warning log repeated.

Per my tests with 0.6.32, get_server_metadata_url() is returning None which throws the error during _perform_token_refresh. Same error as the OP. My provider is microsoft.

I know this works instead of calling get_server_metadata_url - perhaps it may be of some use.
token_endpoint = None
try:
metadata = await client.load_server_metadata()
if metadata:
token_endpoint = metadata.get("token_endpoint")
if token_endpoint:
log.debug(f"Retrieved token endpoint for provider {provider}: {token_endpoint}")
except Exception as e:
log.error(f"Failed to load server metadata for provider {provider}: {e}")
Maybe an issue with specific providers?

My provider is Microsoft.
The typo mentioned in https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/17585 - fixed in 0.6.32 - was intended to call get_server_metadata_url.
Per my tests with 0.6.32, get_server_metadata_url() is returning `None` which throws the error during _perform_token_refresh. Same error as the OP. _My provider is microsoft._

I know this works instead of calling get_server_metadata_url - perhaps it may be of some use.
```
token_endpoint = None
try:
metadata = await client.load_server_metadata()
if metadata:
token_endpoint = metadata.get("token_endpoint")
if token_endpoint:
log.debug(f"Retrieved token endpoint for provider {provider}: {token_endpoint}")
except Exception as e:
log.error(f"Failed to load server metadata for provider {provider}: {e}")
```
Maybe an issue with specific providers?
We're unable to reproduce here, are you able to provide any other relevant logs to help with troubleshooting?
Same issue here.
open_webui.utils.oauth:get_oauth_token:654 - No OAuth session found for user xxx, session yy
but only after some time (I suspect after access token expiry). I do NOT have any log entries from open_webui.utils.oauth:_perform_token_refresh
Yes, secret keys are set. Will keep monitoring and try the fix mentioned above.

Issue Report:
This issue still seems to be persisting. I’m currently running the latest dev build. However, when my token is close to expiring and I trigger a tool that relies on it, the refresh process fails with the following errors:

I have all required environment variables set.

maybe this should be getting it from OPENID_PROVIDER_URL, but isn't?
@jshelman commented on GitHub (Oct 6, 2025):
I was having exact same issue and errors in the log using Microsoft provider as well.
The issue appears to be that
`self.get_server_metadata_url(client_id)` returns None?, and throws this exception at
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/08f8713ee1c290491f4e6584ec36e022fcfecd34/backend/open_webui/utils/oauth.py#L477C15-L479C24
I haven't dug into root cause of that yet, but hard coding it to 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{mytenantid}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration' resolves the issue.

Steps to Reproduce
Set up the openweb-ui container with OAuth support using OIDC.
Logs & Screenshots
Additional Information
I don't fully understand how to use the
ENABLE_OAUTH_PERSISTENT_CONFIGsettings, so I set it to false.I wonder if the error is related to the value in
OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY. The key value is not some random string. It is a Fernet encryption key, but there's no mention of it in the document. I wonder if there are other hidden requirements of this key or other related settings that I didn't set correctly.@tjbck commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2025):
Do you have
WEBUI_SECRET_KEYset?@davidshen84 commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2025):
No. I thinks the doc says if I set OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY, I
don't need to set the web secret key. Also, the log says it generated one
on startup.
If I set the web secret key, do I need to reset the database?

@davidshen84
incorrect, the docs say that OAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY defaults back to WEBUI_SECRET_KEY
It does not say you don't need to set the WEBUI_SECRET_KEY
In fact, the SSO tutorial page specifically says that WEBUI_SECRET_KEY is required.
@Classic298 commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2025):
Correction: The SSO Troubleshooting Tutorial says it, not the normal one. Updating the docs rn!
But the troubleshooting tutorial should have been conducted first before opening an issue
@davidshen84 commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2025):
Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I have set both
WEBUI_SECRET_KEYandOAUTH_SESSION_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEYto the same value and still get this Error. The site still seems to be functional.Perhaps it's related to my OIDC provider? I am using cloud-iam.com, which uses KeyCloak for its service.

I enabled the global debugging log, but I don't find anything useful.
Here's the full container log https://0x0.st/KBRE.log.
Is there any particular log or configuration setting you are looking for?
Also, I found the error did not occur right after I logged in, but after I
started a new chat session. The error log only occurred once, but the
warning log repeated.
Thanks

My provider is Microsoft.
The typo mentioned in https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/17585 - fixed in 0.6.32 - was intended to call get_server_metadata_url.
Per my tests with 0.6.32, get_server_metadata_url() is returning
Nonewhich throws the error during _perform_token_refresh. Same error as the OP. My provider is microsoft.I know this works instead of calling get_server_metadata_url - perhaps it may be of some use.
