Technical Users: Letting Users Log in With Their Google Account
In order to allow users to sign in with their Google account, you need to request access from Google to do this. Specifically, you need something called OAuth2 keys from Google. To get these keys, follow these steps:
Go to the Google Developer's Console.
Create a new project (or select an existing one).
On the left, select "Credentials."
Select the "OAuth consent screen."
Give your application a name and support email. Click "Save" at the bottom.
Go back to the "Credentials" tab. Click "Create credentials" > "OAuth client ID."
Select "Web application." This will expose more options.
Under "Authorized JavaScript origins" enter: http://[HOSTNAME]
Under "Authorized redirect URIs" enter: http://[HOSTNAME]/complete/google-oauth2
Important: Replace [HOSTNAME] with the URL of your Collaborate system.
Click "Save."
This will bring up a prompt containing the Google OAuth2 Key and Secret. In another browser window, go to your Collaborate install and find the Configure Google Services link at the top of the screen. Inside that panel, paste in your Client ID and Secret in the appropriate boxes
Optionally, you can select one or more domains to whitelist. This will let users whose email addresses are within the whitelisted domain sign in, without needing to first create their user account.
If you didn't whitelist any domains, you'll need to pre-create each user that you want to be able sign in via Google Sign-In. This can be done from the users section of the admin dashboard.
