Looking for an example using GitHub as authorisation server about gin-server HOT 2 OPEN

The documentation is not good for gin

from gin-server.

From what i can understand of the oauth protocol this has nothing or little to do with gin and more to do with how.

In my current early version of using gin-server, i am using the AS also for authentication in cases where the grant_type authorization_code is used. When the user is not authenticated (the AS keeps a temp session cookie to know that) user is redirected to the ASs internal login page. After login the user is redirected back to the previous url before being redirected to the login page.

To use github you would need to make a github application with a redirect url that points back to your AS, then have that endpoint in your AS write the proper the user id into the encrypted session cookie and then redirect back from where the user was originally redirect to github (which in most cases would be the authorisation endpoint).

There, i fixed your problem ;) Certain details left out, for ex that the redirect url would need to read a code and ask for a token in the AS in github (if authorization_code is used with github)

from gin-server.
