2) Config

Auth Provider Config

Configuration is done with environment variables, which can be supplied as command line arguments, added in your app hosting interface, or loaded from a .env file.

Example .env file:

OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=f432a9casdff1e4b79c57
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=pampadympapampadympapampadympa
REDIRECT_URL=https://your.server.com/callback
GIT_HOSTNAME=https://github.website.com
SSL_ENABLED=1

Client ID & Client Secret: After registering your Oauth app, you will be able to get your client id and client secret on the next page.

Redirect URL (optional): Include this if you need your callback to be different from what is supplied in your Oauth app configuration.

Git Hostname (Optional): This is only necessary for use with Github Enterprise.

CMS Config

You also need to add base_url to the backend section of your netlify-cms's config file. base_url is the live URL of this repo with no trailing slashes.

backend:
  name: github
  repo: user/repo   # Path to your Github repository
  branch: master    # Branch to update
  base_url: https://your.server.com # Path to ext auth provider

3) Run it
