Enable Google authentication
To enable Single Sign-On (SSO) with Google, you must first create a Google Cloud project, configure the OAuth consent screen, and create an OAuth client. You will then use your OAuth client’s ID and secret to link NXLog Platform to Google.
Create a Google Cloud project
-
Log in to your Google Cloud Portal account.
-
Click the projects' dropdown and then click New project.
-
Enter a Project name, for example,
NXLog Platform, and an optional parent organization.
-
Click the Create button.
Configure your OAuth consent screen
-
Navigate to the Google Auth Platform product and click GET STARTED.
-
Enter an App name, for example,
NXLog Platform. -
Enter the remaining information requested by the wizard, making sure that you select the External audience.
-
Click CREATE to complete the wizard.
-
Click Data Access on the left navigation sidebar, and then on ADD OR REMOVE SCOPES to select the information available to NXLog Platform.
-
Enable userinfo.email, userinfo.profile, and openid, and click the UPDATE button.
-
Click SAVE to commit the changes.
-
Optionally, click Audience on the left navigation sidebar and add test users.
Create an OAuth client ID
-
Click Clients on the left navigation sidebar, and then on the + CREATE CLIENT button to create an OAuth client ID.
-
Select Web application for the Application type field.
-
Enter an application Name, for example,
NXLog Platform. -
Add the Authorized redirect URI
https://auth.nxlog.example.com/landing, replacingnxlog.example.comwith your NXLog Platform domain. This is where Google will redirect users after authorization.
-
Click CREATE.
-
Click the new OAuth client on the list and take note of the Client ID and Client secret; you will use these to link NXLog Platform to Google Cloud.
Link NXLog Platform to Google Cloud
-
Log in to NXLog Platform and navigate to Administration > Tenant operations > Platform configuration.

Look for the Google section under Social Login.
-
Enter your Google Cloud client ID and secret in the Client ID and Secret fields.

Enable the switch (green). NXLog Platform hides the Secret and enables SSO authentication with Google.
