Go to APIs & Services on the left hand tab (see image below). Then select OAuth Consent screen page. GoogleOAuthConsentMenu Under OAuth Consent screen select either Internal or External

Setting up Credentials

  • http://localhost:3000 for local or replace with https://<WEB_DOMAIN> (e.g. https://www.RECAP.ai) if setting up for prod.
Add a Authorized redirect URIs as:
  • http://localhost:3000/auth/oauth/callback for local setup or https://<WEB_DOMAIN>/auth/oauth/callback if setting up for prod.
Click CREATE and save the Client ID and Client Secret for use in the next section

​
Turning on OAuth in RECAP

OAuth is controlled by 3 environment variables, regardless of deployment choice (non-containerized, docker compose, kubernetes). To turn the feature on set:
  • AUTH_TYPE=google_oauth
  • OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<your client id from above>
  • OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<your client secret from above>
  • If setting up in production, then:
    • WEB_DOMAIN=<your domain including protocol e.g. https://www.RECAP.ai>

​
Non Containerized

Simply set the above environment variables when running the different RECAP processes.
  • The backend api server uses the 3 environment variables
  • The frontend hits the api server to determine what user authentication setting is configured and serves the relevant pages.

​
Docker Compose

Simply set the 4 environment variables in a file called .env under RECAP/deployment/docker_compose.

​
Kubernetes

Kubernetes deployment was designed for production use and assumes that user Auth is a required feature therefore it is on by default. To set up the required values, replace the REPLACE-THIS values in secrets.yaml with thebase64 encoded client ID and client secret from above.
