Presentation¶
GitHub uses OAuth2 protocol to allow applications to reuse its own authentication process (see https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps/).
You need to register a new application on LinkedIn to get an application ID and a secret: https://github.com/settings/apps/new.
Configuration¶
In Manager, go in General Parameters > Authentication modules
and choose GitHub for authentication module.
Then, go in GitHub parameters:
- Authentication level: authentication level for this module.
- Client ID: the application ID you get
- Client secret: the corresponding secret
- Field containing user identifier: Field that will be used as main
user identifier in LL::NG, usually
login - Scope: OAuth 2.0 scopes, see https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/understanding-scopes-for-oauth-apps/
Tip
Collected fields are stored in session in github_
keys
