OAuth Setup

• Ensure that you have a registered account in Google Cloud Platform.

• Enable plus.googleapis.com API at the following URL:

  https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/plus.googleapis.com/overview?project=[YOUR-PROJECT-NAME]

• Create OAuth Client ID credentials at the following URL (with type Web Application):

  https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials?project=[YOUR-PROJECT-NAME]

• Configure Restrictions (Origins & Redirect URIs). We cannot use localhost in this section, therefore you can specify any arbitrary domain then configure your computer /etc/hosts file.

  Example if you are running on http://example.com:4000:

  • http://example.com:4000
  • http://example.com:4000/users/auth/google_oauth2/callback

• Put client_id and client_secret on GATE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and GATE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET respectively

• Update your GATE_SERVER_URL to http://example.com:4000

• Specify your e-mail domain on GATE_HOSTED_DOMAIN and GATE_HOSTED_DOMAINS, for instance if your e-mail address is [email protected] then the value should be gmail.com

• Leave SIGN_IN_TYPE empty
