Generic OAuth 2.0 SSO

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Generic OAuth 2.0 SSO

1. Title:

   • Description: Enter a descriptive name for the SSO configuration.

   • Example: "MyCompany OAuth SSO".

2. Client ID:

   • Description: This is a unique identifier for your application obtained from the OAuth provider when you register your application.

   • How to Obtain: Go to your OAuth provider's dashboard (e.g., Google, Microsoft Azure) and find the section where you can register a new application or integration. After registering, you will receive a Client ID.

   • Example: "1234567890abcdefg".

3. Client Secret:

   • Description: This is a secret key provided by your OAuth provider, which is used to authenticate your application.

   • How to Obtain: After registering your application with your OAuth provider, you will be given a Client Secret. Keep this secret secure.

   • Example: "hijklmnopqrstuvwx".

4. Url Authorise:

   • Description: This is the URL where the OAuth provider’s authorization server can be found. The user will be redirected to this URL to authenticate and authorize your application.

   • How to Obtain: This URL is specific to your OAuth provider and is usually found in the OAuth documentation or API reference.

   • Example: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth".

5. Url Access Token:

   • Description: This URL is used by your application to exchange the authorization code received from the OAuth provider for an access token.

   • How to Obtain: Similar to the Url Authorise, this URL is provided by your OAuth provider and can be found in their API documentation.

   • Example: "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token".

6. Url Resource Owner Details:

   • Description: This is the URL that your application can use to fetch the authenticated user's information (e.g., user profile data).

   • How to Obtain: Again, this is provider-specific and should be listed in the OAuth provider’s API documentation.

   • Example: "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo".

7. Callback URL:

   • Description: This URL needs to be set in your OAuth provider's application settings. It is where the OAuth provider will send the authorization code or token after the user has authenticated.

   • How to Set: Replace {{instance_name}} with your actual instance name or domain and set the callback URL in your OAuth provider’s settings.

   • Example: "https://yourcompany.daktela.com/demo/auth".

8. Activate:

   • After filling in all the fields, click on the "Activate" button to enable the OAuth 2.0 SSO for your application.

Additional Notes:

• Ensure that the URLs provided by your OAuth provider are correct and use HTTPS to secure the communication.

• If you encounter any issues during the setup, refer to the OAuth provider’s documentation for troubleshooting tips.
