Authentication guide - Mattermost (self-hosted)
Note: The Mattermost setup portion of this document is just a quick guide. See the official documentation for more details.
This guide uses the generic OAuth2 module for compatibility with Mattermost version 5.0 and above.
-
Sign-in with an administrator account to your Mattermost instance
-
Make sure OAuth 2.0 Service Provider is enabled in the Main Menu (menu button next to your username in the top left corner) --> System Console --> Custom Integrations menu, which you can find at
https://your.mattermost.domain/admin_console/integrations/custom
-
Navigate to the OAuth integration settings through Main Menu --> Integrations --> OAuth 2.0 Applications, at
https://your.mattermost.domain/yourteam/integrations/oauth2-apps
-
Click on the Add OAuth 2.0 Application button to add a new OAuth application
Note: The callback URL is <your-codimd-url>/auth/oauth2/callback
-
After saving the application, you'll receive the Client ID and Client Secret

Add the Client ID and Client Secret to your config.json file or pass them as environment variables
