GitHub

GitHub's OAuth integration only allows us to specify a single callback URL. This means that if you are running a wiki farm with multiple DNS roots, you will need to configure a separate application with GitHub for each wiki domain.

Register an application with GitHub

• Log into GitHub
• Visit the Developer applications tab under OAuth applications in your Personal settings.
• Click Register New Application. The new OAuth application configuration screen is displayed:

Set Application name

• Enter a name related to your wiki server.

Set Homepage URL

• Enter the URL of a page that describes your wiki server.

Set Authorization callback URL

• Enter https://example.wiki/auth/github/callback, replacing example.wiki with your wiki server root domain.

Note: If you are not ready to use HTTPS yet, you can use http://example.wiki/auth/github/callback

Save your settings by clicking Register application. The new application's settings are shown:

This screen also allows you to adjust any settings, and add an logo.

• Record the Client ID and Client Secret for use in configuring the wiki server.

Configure Wiki

The wiki is configured by adding the client ID and client secret to the wiki domain part of the configuration.
