Configure Google Authentication
To enable social authentication via Google in the Web3 applications, developers must perform these three steps before integrating with the Arcana Auth SDK.
Step 1: Use Arcana Dashboard
Go to the Arcana Dashboard: https://dashboard.arcana.network
Register your dApp by creating a new dApp entry and specifying a name using the 'Create New App' wizard.
Registering the Application
If you have already registered your dApp using Arcana Dashboard and obtained an Client ID, you may skip this step.
You can use defaults for other settings or change them as per your use case. Refer to the how to configure dApp guide for details.
Go to the Configure->Social Auth configuration section and copy the redirect URI value displayed there. This will be used in the next step to generate Google Client ID.
Do not close the dashboard browser tab. Open another tab and continue with the next step. Then come back to the Dashboard tab and complete Google Client ID settings.
Step 2: Use Google Developer Console
Go to the Google Cloud Console. Create a new OAuth 2.0 credential for your dApp.
In the Google Cloud Console, select the option to set up credentials for a web application.
Specify the redirect URI value to the one that you saved in the previous step from the Auth tab of the Arcana Network Dashboard.
Redirect URI
The redirect URI refers to the endpoint to which the Google OAuth 2.0 server can send authentication responses. These endpoints must adhere to Google’s validation rules.
Complete the steps in Google Cloud Console for creating a new OAuth 2.0 credential. It will generate a unique ClientID.
Save the Client ID assigned by Google. It will be required in the next step.
Step 3: Update Arcana Dashboard
Revisit the Arcana Developer Dashboard portal. Click on your app entry and visit the application dashboard. Click Configure->Social Auth in the LHS navigation bar. Refer to the "Google" settings and paste the Client ID assigned by Google Cloud Console in the previous step.
Save the settings on the dashboard. Arcana Network assigns an Client ID to every registered and configured dApp. If you plan to integrate with Arcana SDKs, you need to save this Client ID.
You are all set with the Google configuration. Integrate the Web3 application with the Arcana Auth SDK and call the user onboarding function when the user chooses to log in.
