Usage

Authentification

This system uses Django’s built-in user management for storing and managing user accounts.

However, it also supports using a third-party identity provider to improve the user experience and make it the default option.

To register a third-party identity provider, you will need to use the superuser account created during the installation process.

Tip

After logging in with a third-party account, you can use your superuser account to grant that user administrator permissions.

Register a new OAuth app on GitHub’s Developer Settings page.
For local development, set the homepage URL to http://localhost:8000 and the authorization callback URL to http://localhost:8000/accounts/github/login/callback.
Keep the Client ID and generate a Client Secret to enable access.
Go to the Django Socialapp model page using a superuser account and add a GitHub Provider with the newly generated Client ID and Client Secret as the Secret Key.
Log out of the administration and try logging in using the GitHub button on the accounts/login page.
