In order to use Google for authentication, you must use the <a href="https://console.developers.google.com" target="_blank">Google Developers Console</a> to create a set of client credentials.

# Go to the <a href="https://console.developers.google.com" target="_blank">Google Developers Console</a> and select or create a project; this will take you to the project page.
# Click on *+ Enable APIs and Services*
## Search for *People API* and click on *Enable API*.
# Navigate back to the main "APIs & Services" page
# On the sidebar, click on *OAuth consent screen*
## On consent screen settings, enter your identifying details
## Under *Authorized domains* add @yourdomain.com@
## Click on *Save*.
# On the sidebar, click on *Credentials*; then click on *Create credentials*&rarr;*OAuth Client ID*
# Under *Application type* select *Web application*.
# You must set the authorization origins.  Edit @auth.your.domain@ to the appropriate hostname that you will use to access the SSO service:
## JavaScript origin should be @https://ClusterID.yourdomain.com/@ (using Arvados-controller based login) or @https://auth.yourdomain.com/@ (for the SSO server)
## Redirect URI should be @https://ClusterID.yourdomain.com/login@ (using Arvados-controller based login) or @https://auth.yourdomain.com/users/auth/google_oauth2/callback@ (for the SSO server)
# Copy the values of *Client ID* and *Client secret* from the Google Developers Console and add them to the appropriate configuration.
