The AuthManagerOAuth extension allows to create accounts or login using OAuth.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called AuthManagerOAuth in your extensions/ folder.
• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See T173141 for potential complications.)
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'AuthManagerOAuth' ); 

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration parameters

$wgAuthManagerOAuthConfig = [  'github' => [  'clientId' => 'xxx',  'clientSecret' => 'xxx',  'urlAuthorize' => 'https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize',  'urlAccessToken' => 'https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token',  'urlResourceOwnerDetails' => 'https://api.github.com/user'  ],  'google' => [  // ...  ] ]; 

The values in this keyed array have to conform to the parameter of the GenericProvider constructor at https://oauth2-client.thephpleague.com/usage/. The key cannot be changed afterwards as it's used in the database for storing the linked accounts.
