Log in to Google Cloud Console and create an OAuth 2.0 application. Google will generate a Client ID and Client Secret.
Here’s how to proceed with the process:
A. Sign in to Google Cloud Console - Go to: - Log in using your Google account. B. Create or Select a Project - Click the project dropdown in the top bar. - Choose an existing project or click "New Project". - Enter a project name and (optionally) organization. - Click Create. - After creation, make sure your project is selected.
C: Enable Required APIs - In the left sidebar, go to APIs & Services > Library. - Search for and enable the Google People API (for user profile info) - Click Enable. D: Set Up OAuth Consent Screen - Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen - Choose "External". - Click Create. - Fill in App Info: App Name (e.g., JobSphere Admin Tool), User Support Email, App Logo (optional), Developer Contact Info, Add Scopes (optional). - Click Save and Continue until you finish.
E: Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID - Go to APIs & Services > Credentials - Click + Create Credentials > OAuth Client ID - Choose Application Type: For web apps, select Web Application. For other types (Android, iOS, etc.), select accordingly. - Fill in the Name and Authorized Redirected URL. - Click Create.
F: Get Client ID and Secret - Once created, Google will show: Client ID and Client Secret. - Click Download or copy them to configure your app.
Important: The client must share these credentials with the Artha Support Team, who will add them to the backend. The client does not need to configure or add them anywhere.
Ensure that the callback/redirect URL is set correctly in the Google Cloud Console: https://api.arthajobboard.com/social-auth/google/callback
Google requires verification for certain applications. The client must wait for Google’s approval before the login can be configured.
Ensure Correct Branding:
The application name, logo, and other branding settings should reflect the client’s identity.
Confirm Redirect URL:
The redirect URL configured in Google Cloud Console should match the one provided above.
The Client must wait for confirmation from Artha Support before testing.
Google approval may take time— only after approval can the integration be configured. This process might take a few weeks. It depends on Google to approve.
Perform login tests to ensure smooth user authentication and correct branding.
Check for Artha Branding: Ensure no references to Artha (e.g., logos, names) appear.
Once confirmed, the social login will be active.
Monitor login success rates via analytics or server logs.
Regularly review credentials and rotate the Client Secret as per security best practices.
