## Feature(s) impacted

Initial loading of Forest. This is the first time I am trying to use forest and am setting up on development in Rails.

## Observed behavior

Also noted in [Missing httpclient dependency? causing server crash · Issue #585 · ForestAdmin/forest-rails · GitHub](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/forest-rails/issues/585)

After installing `forest_ilana` without adding `httpclient` gem to my Gemfile. My server fails on boot:

```javascript
helpkitchen $ rails s

=> Run `bin/rails server --help` for more startup options

If I add `httpclient` to my Gemfile I am able to get the server running but am still unable to connect to it via Forest:

Unable to authenticate you  
Please verify that your admin backend is correctly configured and running.

## Expected behavior

I expect that I am able to connect to my server.

Hi @katelyn , and welcome to our community 👋

I managed to reproduce the bug on my side.

It looks like the issue comes from the `openid_connect` gem in version \>=2.0

> <https://github.com/nov/openid_connect/blob/5d5fbdd52420e3b9ad0c5aba3f609c3085548451/CHANGELOG.md>

I open a ticket on our board and come back to you.

Thank you. I am able to now workaround this for the time being by adding the following to my gemfile:

```javascript
gem 'openid_connect', '~> 1'

```

incase anyone needs a way around this until it is fixed.

</div>

I just released the new version `7.7.1` of our gem to fix the problem.

As I said earlier, the bug comes from the `openid_connect` gem.  
I have fixed the version of this gem that we use to avoid any bug when a client wants to onboard with our agent.

You can run the following command

```javascript
bundle update forest_liana

```

Let me known if the fix works for you 🙂
