Step 1: Obtain Google OAuth API keys

1. Create or select a Google Cloud project:

Go to: https://console.developers.google.com/cloud-resource-manager
Click on CREATE PROJECT. Give your project a name and select your organization/location (if applicable).
Do you already have a project for this connection? Then you can skip this step and directly select the existing project.

2. Open the API & Services settings:

Once the project is created, click on View Project.
You will now be on the project dashboard. Click on APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen.

3. Set up the OAuth Consent Screen:

Choose Internal if only users within your organization have access, or External if external users also need access.
Fill in the required fields.
Save the settings.

4. Create OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials:

Go to Credentials in the left menu. Click on + CREATE CREDENTIALS → OAuth client ID.
Choose Application type: Web application.
Give the client a recognizable name, for example FileFlow SSO.

5. Set Authorized Redirect URIs:

Add the following URL under Authorized redirect URIs (this is needed to redirect the SSO back to FileFlow):
Enter the Redirect-URI: https://subdomain.fileflow.nl/users/auth/google_oauth2/callback (replace subdomain with your subdomain).
Click on Create to create the application.

6. Download or copy the information:

After creating, you will see the following information:
- Client ID
- Client Secret

Step 2: Configure FileFlow for SSO

To complete the SSO integration in FileFlow, we need the following information from you:

Client ID: The application ID you noted down.
Client Secret: The generated client secret.

Send this information securely to us, so we can complete the configuration on our end.
