OAuth ​

In addition to basic username/password authentication, nmrXiv also supports authentication via OAuth 2.0, which is an authorization framework that enables third party clients to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service. Currently nmrXiv supports login via below three clients:

• Twitter
• GitHub
• ORCID

In order to get this feature available in your application, you need to register your application with the service. This is done through a registration form in the developer or API portion of the service's website, where you will provide following information (and probably details about your application):

• Application Name
• Application Website
• Redirect URI or Callback URL

Once your application is registered, the service will issue client credentials in the form of a Client Id and Client Secret. These details should be added to the .env file against the below values.

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=
GITHUB_REDIRECT_URL=

ORCID_CLIENT_ID=
ORCID_CLIENT_SECRET=
ORCID_REDIRECT_URL=

TWITTER_CLIENT_ID=
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET=
TWITTER_REDIRECT_URL=

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=
GITHUB_REDIRECT_URL=

ORCID_CLIENT_ID=
ORCID_CLIENT_SECRET=
ORCID_REDIRECT_URL=

TWITTER_CLIENT_ID=
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET=
TWITTER_REDIRECT_URL=

Once done restart or refresh your application and you would be able to find the single sign-on section added in the Login page.
