Github Authentication
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
OAuth Github API credentials (available in your [Settings > Applications > Developer applications](https://github.com/settings/applications))
|
|
|
|
How does this work?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The Github authentication in Kanboard uses the [OAuth 2.0](http://oauth.net/2/) protocol, so any user of Kanboard can be linked to a Github account.
|
|
|
|
When that is done, they no longer need to manually login with their Kanboard account, but can simply automatically login with their Github account.
|
|
|
|
How to link a Github account
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your user profile
|
|
2. Click on **External accounts**
|
|
3. Click on the link **Link my Github Account**
|
|
4. You are redirected to the **Github Authorize application form**
|
|
5. Authorize Kanboard by clicking on the button **Accept**
|
|
6. Your account is now linked
|
|
|
|
Now, on the login page you can be authenticated in one click with the link **Login with my Github Account**.
|
|
|
|
Your name and email are automatically updated from your Github Account if defined.
|

Installation instructions

|
|
|
### Setting up OAuth 2.0
|
|
|
|
- On Github, go to the page [Register a new OAuth application](https://github.com/settings/applications/new)
|
|
- Just follow the [official Github documentation](https://developer.github.com/guides/basics-of-authentication/#registering-your-app)
|
|
- In Kanboard, you can get the **callback url** in **Settings > Integrations > Github Authentication**
|
|
|
|
### Setting up Kanboard
|
|
|
|
Either create a new `config.php` file or rename the `config.default.php` file and set the following values:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
// Enable/disable Github authentication
|
|
define('GITHUB_AUTH', true);
|
|
|
|
// Github client id (Copy it from your settings -> Applications -> Developer applications)
|
|
define('GITHUB_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID');
|
|
|
|
// Github client secret key (Copy it from your settings -> Applications -> Developer applications)
|
|
define('GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Kanboard uses these information from your public Github profile:
|
|
|
|
- Full name
|
|
- Public email address
|
|
- Github unique id
|
|
|
|
The Github unique id is used to link the local user account and the Github account.
