Create A GitHub App
In GitHub, navigate to
Settings > Developer Settings > OAuth Apps
and create a new OAuth App with the following settings:- Application name: Loft Login via GitHub
- Homepage URL: https://loft.yourcompany.tld =
https:// + $LOFT_HOSTNAME
- Auth callback URL: https://loft.yourcompany.tld/auth/github/callback =
https:// + $LOFT_HOSTNAME + /auth/github/callback
Remember the
$GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
and$GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
that GitHub generates for your OAuth application because you will need it in the next step.Create Loft Config For GitHub
To tell Loft to use github for SSO, navigate to
Admin > Config
in Loft and adjust your config as shown below:auth:
# Tell loft to use github authentication
github:
#
#
# REQUIRED CONFIGURATION
#
#
# ClientID of the github application. Can be string literal or pulled from the environment.
clientId: $CLIENTID
# ClientSecret of the github application. Can be string literal or pulled from the environment.
clientSecret: $CLIENTSECRET
# Callback URL in the form of https://your-loft-domain/auth/github/callback
redirectURI: https://loft.my.domain/auth/github/callback
#
#
# OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION
#
#
# (Optional) Loft queries the following organizations for group information.
# Group claims are formatted as "(org):(team)".
# For example if a user is part of the "engineering" team of the "coreos"
# org, the group claim would include "coreos:engineering".
#
# If orgs are specified in the config then user MUST be a member of at least one
# of the specified orgs to authenticate with loft.
orgs:
# Organization name in github (not slug, full name)
- name: My Organization
# (Optional) Names of teams in a github organization. A user will be able to
# authenticate if they are members of at least one of these teams.

# management console.

After saving the new Loft configuration, Loft will restart and you should be able to log in via GitHub. Beware that only members of your organization on GitHub can sign in and that everyone must grant access to view their organization during the login process.
