In depth guide on how to proper set up OAuth

If you've never worked with the Google Developer Console before, or you prefer following a step by step guide on how to set Google as your authentication provider, please consider following this guide.

To correctly set up Google as your authentication provider please follow the next steps:

• Go to Google Developer Console

  • Log in, click on Select a project and start a new project

  • Name and create your project

  • Once created, open it and find on your top left corner the navigation menu. Access the Credentials menu you can find on APIs and services

  • Before creating any credentials you need to configure first the OAuth consent screen by properly filling the App information and Developer contact information sections at minimum

  • Once here, you can create an OAuth client ID on the Credentials menu:

    • Create the OAuth client ID
    • Select an Application type and name it
    • Set redirect_uri to https://<domain>/callback

    The default URL when installing on you Desktop or Laptop, is localhost.

  • Retrieve the client_id and secret_id and paste them in ./front/apache-conf/metadata/accounts/accounts.google.com.client

Congratulations! If you arrived here means you've correctly set up your OAuth Client ID.

Now you can continue with the installation of Cometa. Please don't forget after this point you may execute ./cometa.sh to bring up a localhost version on your machine.
