Google OAuth can be slightly tricky to configure. Fortunately we take care of most of the details for you.
Go to this URL: https://console.developers.google.com/projectselector/apis/credentials
Create a new project. Name it whatever you want.
Click the "Create Credentials" dropdown. Select "OAuth Client ID" - "for API's like Google Calendar".
On the next screen select 'Web Application'. Name it whatever you want.
Omit the "Authorized Javascript Origins" - you don't need this, there's no
Javascript. For "Authorized redirect URI's", you need to specify whatever URL's
users will see in their browser, plus the path /auth/callback. I use
these:
- http://localhost:4114/auth/callback (for development)
- https://logrole.herokuapp.com/auth/callback (my production site)
You must include the /auth/callback part, or the Google Authenticator in
Logrole won't work properly.
On the next screen, you should be presented with a client ID and a
client secret. Put these in your config.yml as google_client_id and
google_client_secret, respectively. The ID should be a lot longer than the
secret.
