A friendly OAuth overview
OAuth lets users sign in through another service, like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter/X, without storing their password in SolidX.
Basic flow
- User clicks a provider sign-in button.
- The app sends the user to the provider.
- The provider returns the user back to SolidX.
- SolidX finishes sign-in and opens the app.
What you usually need
- A client ID from the provider
- A client secret or app secret
- A redirect URL for the login result
- A few provider settings in the provider console
Want a different provider?
If you want a provider not listed here, use the custom OAuth providers option and follow the same simple pattern.
