# Use Generic OAuth2 gem as an OAuth 2.0 authentication provider **(FREE SELF)**
NOTE:
If your provider supports the OpenID specification, you should use [`omniauth-openid-connect`](../administration/auth/oidc.md) as your authentication provider.
The [`omniauth-oauth2-generic` gem](https://gitlab.com/satorix/omniauth-oauth2-generic) allows single sign-on (SSO) between GitLab
and your OAuth 2.0 provider, or any OAuth 2.0 provider compatible with this gem.
This strategy allows for the configuration of this OmniAuth SSO process:
1. Strategy directs the client to your authorization URL (**configurable**), with
the specified ID and key.
1. The OAuth 2.0 provider handles authentication of the request, user, and (optionally)
authorization to access the user's profile.
1. The OAuth 2.0 provider directs the client back to GitLab where Strategy
retrieves the access token.
1. Strategy requests user information from a **configurable** "user profile"
URL using the access token.
1. Strategy parses user information from the response using a **configurable**
format.
1. GitLab finds or creates the returned user and signs them in.
This strategy:
- Can only be used for single sign-on, and does not provide any other access
granted by any OAuth 2.0 provider. For example, importing projects or users.
- Only supports the Authorization Grant flow, which is most common for client-server
applications like GitLab.
- Cannot fetch user information from more than one URL.
- Has not been tested with user information formats, except JSON.
## Configure the OAuth 2.0 provider
To configure the provider:
1. Register your application in the OAuth 2.0 provider you want to authenticate with.
The redirect URI you provide when registering the application should be:
```plaintext
http://your-gitlab.host.com/users/auth/oauth2_generic/callback
```
You should now be able to get a client ID and client secret. Where these
appear is different for each provider. This may also be called application ID
and application secret.
1. On your GitLab server, complete the following steps.
::Tabs
:::TabTitle Linux package (Omnibus)
1. Configure the [common settings](omniauth.md#configure-common-settings)
to add `oauth2_generic` as a single sign-on provider. This enables Just-In-Time
account provisioning for users who do not have an existing GitLab account.
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` to add the configuration for your provider. For example:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
{
name: "oauth2_generic",
label: "Provider name", # optional label for login button, defaults to "Oauth2 Generic"
app_id: "<your_app_client_id>",
app_secret: "<your_app_client_secret>",
args: {
client_options: {
site: "<your_auth_server_url>",
user_info_url: "/oauth2/v1/userinfo",
authorize_url: "/oauth2/v1/authorize",
token_url: "/oauth2/v1/token"
},
user_response_structure: {
root_path: [],
id_path: ["sub"],
attributes: {
email: "email",
name: "name"
}
},
authorize_params: {
scope: "openid profile email"
},
strategy_class: "OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2Generic"
}
}
]
```
1. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab:
```shell
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
```
:::TabTitle Helm chart (Kubernetes)
1. Configure the [common settings](omniauth.md#configure-common-settings)
to add `oauth2_generic` as a single sign-on provider. This enables Just-In-Time
account provisioning for users who do not have an existing GitLab account.
1. Export the Helm values:
```shell
helm get values gitlab > gitlab_values.yaml
```
1. Put the following content in a file named `oauth2_generic.yaml` for use as a
[Kubernetes Secret](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/charts/globals.html#providers):
```yaml
name: "oauth2_generic"
label: "Provider name" # optional label for login button defaults to "Oauth2 Generic"
app_id: "<your_app_client_id>"
app_secret: "<your_app_client_secret>"
args:
client_options:
site: "<your_auth_server_url>"
user_info_url: "/oauth2/v1/userinfo"
authorize_url: "/oauth2/v1/authorize"
token_url: "/oauth2/v1/token"
user_response_structure:
root_path: []
id_path: ["sub"]
attributes:
email: "email"
name: "name"
authorize_params:
scope: "openid profile email"
strategy_class: "OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2Generic"
```
1. Create the Kubernetes Secret:
```shell
kubectl create secret generic -n <namespace> gitlab-oauth2-generic --from-file=provider=oauth2_generic.yaml
```
1. Edit `gitlab_values.yaml` and add the provider configuration:
```yaml
global:
appConfig:
omniauth:
providers:
- secret: gitlab-oauth2-generic
```
1. Save the file and apply the new values:
```shell
helm upgrade -f gitlab_values.yaml gitlab gitlab/gitlab
```
:::TabTitle Self-compiled (source)
1. Configure the [common settings](omniauth.md#configure-common-settings)
to add `oauth2_generic` as a single sign-on provider. This enables Just-In-Time
account provisioning for users who do not have an existing GitLab account.
1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml`:
```yaml
production: &base
omniauth:
providers:
- { name: "oauth2_generic",
label: "Provider name", # optional label for login button, defaults to "Oauth2 Generic"
app_id: "<your_app_client_id>",
app_secret: "<your_app_client_secret>",
args: {
client_options: {
site: "<your_auth_server_url>",
user_info_url: "/oauth2/v1/userinfo",
authorize_url: "/oauth2/v1/authorize",
token_url: "/oauth2/v1/token"
},
user_response_structure: {
root_path: [],
id_path: ["sub"],
attributes: {
email: "email",
name: "name"
}
},
authorize_params: {
scope: "openid profile email"
},
strategy_class: "OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2Generic"
}
}
```
1. Save the file and restart GitLab:
```shell
# For systems running systemd
sudo systemctl restart gitlab.target
# For systems running SysV init
sudo service gitlab restart
```
::EndTabs
On the sign-in page there should now be a new icon below the regular sign-in
form. Select that icon to begin your provider's authentication process. This
directs the browser to your OAuth 2.0 provider's authentication page. If
everything goes well, you are returned to your GitLab instance and
signed in.
