Using Google credentials with Butler Auth.

Google offers authentication using OAuth 2.0.

Butler Auth configuration

The settings in the config file are:

google:                             # "Google" OAuth2 provider
    enable: false
    userDirectory: lab              # Qlik Sense user directory that will be used for the authenticated user
    userIdShort: true               # If true, the email domain will be removed. I.e. "joe.smith@domain.com" will be changed to "joe.smith".
    clientId: <Client ID>
    clientSecret: <Client secret>

Field	Description
enable	Enable or disable this authentication provider. true/false.
userDirectory	The Qlik Sense Enterprise user directory that will be used once the user has been authenticated by the authentication provider.
userIdShort	The provider will return the user’s email address. If `userIdShort` is set to `true`, the @ character and email domain will be stripped from the email address returned by the provider. For example, “joe@company.com” would become just “joe”. true/false.
clientId	Client ID from Google
clientSecret	Client secret from Google

Google configuration

General steps to set up Google for use with Butler Auth.

Create application

Log in to Google Cloud. The dashboard provides a good overview of your Google cloud assets.
Go to the “Credentials” section (https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials) of the API & Services page. Make sure to select the correct project in the drop-down at the top of the page.
Create a new client ID:
1. “CREATE CREDENTIALS” (button at top) > “OAuth client ID” > Application typ “Web application”
2. Enter desired name in the “Name” field.
3. Add valid callback URIs. The one responsible for Butler Auth is https://<FQDN of Butler Auth>:<Butler Auth REST port>/oauth2callback. Note that Butler Auth’s REST API port can be changed in the main config file of Butler Auth. At least one URI is required.
  Click “Create”.
4. Take note of the client ID and secret. Copy them to the corresponding fields in Buther Auth’s config file.
Set up an OAuth consent screen that will be shown to users when they authenticate to Qlik Sense using their Google credentials.
