OAuth2 on Synapse and Element is a bit tricky. The simple oidc configuration that comes with the small-hack Synapse chart is not supported on the modern Element-X client. The Matrix Authentication Service is needed for this; however, Synapse does not support MAS auth while also using LDAP. MAS can be configured to use Dex as an OAuth2 provider, which can in turn use LDAP for a user database, but the MAS chart currently in use only supports one provider, which would defeat the purpose.

I am no longer using the small-hack repo; however, the new chart has the same limitation for OIDC & LDAP.
