How to Configure Google SSO on Customer Communities
Create authorization credentials
To create a client ID and client secret, create a Google API Console project, set up an OAuth client ID, and register your Authorized redirect URI(s):
-
Go to the Google API Console.
-
From the project drop-down, select an existing project, or create a new one by selecting Create a new project.
-
In the sidebar under "APIs & Services", select Credentials, then click Configure consent screen.
Choose an Email Address, specify a Product Name, and press Save. -
In the Credentials tab, select the Create credentials drop-down list, and choose OAuth client ID.
-
Under Application type, select Web application.
-
Configure your Authorized redirect URI(s):
-
EU Production URL (for EU-based communities): https://sso.api.insided.com/auth/google/return
-
US Production URL (for US-based communities): https://sso-us-west-2.api.insided.com/auth/google/return
-
Staging URL (for communities in our now deprecated staging environment): https://sso.api.almostinsided.com/auth/google/return
-
After configuration is complete, take note of the Client ID that was created. You will need the Client ID + Client Secret to complete the next steps.
