Configure OAuth for Google

For Oauth integration more broadly, please follow the documentation linked here: https://docs.lamp.digital/develop/oauth_oidc/

Configure the Google Cloud App for MindLAMP:

To use Google OAuth we’ll need to generate credentials for MindLAMP

  1. Create a Project in Google Cloud App as explained here: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#enable-apis

  2. Create an OAuth Client in the Credentials section as explained here: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#creatingcred

    a.  Note that you’ll need to add the dashboard url in the authorized urls. (FE: https://dashboard.lamp.digital)

    b.  As redirect url you’ll need to add the OAuth entry point of the app. That’s the dashboard url followed by “/oauth”. (FE: https://dashboard.lamp.digital/oauth)

  3. Copy the client id and the client secret as we’ll need the to configure the server.

Configure OAuth in the MindLAMP server:

Now that we have the credentials we’ll need to add a few environment variables to the MindLAMP server.

OAUTH="on"
OAUTH_AUTH_URL="https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth"
OAUTH_TOKEN_URL=" https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token "
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID="<client id here>"
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET="<client secret here>"
OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI="<dashboard URL here>/oauth"
OAUTH_SCOPE="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"
TOKEN_SECRET="<LAMP defined secret here>"

Remember that OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI must be exactly the same as the redirect URI the client was set up with.
