Customization

See CUSTOMIZE_ES.md

OAuth

To test authentication services with external OAuth suppliers - right now Twitter, Facebook and Google - you'll need to create an "application" in each of the supported platforms and set the key and secret provided in your secrets.yml

In the case of Google, verify that the APIs Contacts API and Google+ API are enabled for the application.
