This PR enhances the existing OAuth2 authentication implementations for Google and GitHub with improved error handling, comprehensive logging, and user-friendly error messages. Additionally, it includes comprehensive setup documentation to help users configure OAuth2 authentication.

Changes

1. Enhanced Google OAuth2 Authentication

  • Added comprehensive logging (info, warn, error levels) throughout the authentication flow
  • Improved error messages with user-friendly feedback
  • Enhanced domain validation with clearer error messages
  • Better error handling for email-related issues
  • Preserved existing error types for proper handling

2. Enhanced GitHub OAuth2 Authentication

  • Added comprehensive logging throughout the authentication flow
  • Email availability validation with warning logs
  • Improved error messages with actionable feedback
  • Better error handling for email-related issues
  • Preserved existing error types for proper handling

3. Comprehensive Setup Documentation

  • Step-by-step Google OAuth2 setup guide
  • Step-by-step GitHub OAuth2 setup guide
  • GitHub Enterprise setup instructions
  • Troubleshooting section with common issues and solutions
  • Security best practices
  • Advanced configuration options

Benefits

  1. Better Debugging: Comprehensive logging makes it easier to troubleshoot authentication issues
  2. Improved User Experience: User-friendly error messages help users understand what went wrong
  3. Enhanced Maintainability: Better code structure and error handling
  4. Documentation: Complete setup guide helps users configure OAuth2 easily

Files Changed

  • server/modules/authentication/google/authentication.js
  • server/modules/authentication/github/authentication.js
  • OAUTH2_SETUP.md (new file)

Testing

  • ✅ Tested error handling with various scenarios
  • ✅ Verified logging output
  • ✅ Confirmed backward compatibility
  • ✅ Checked code style and linting

Backward Compatibility

✅ All changes are backward compatible - existing configurations will continue to work without modification.

Screenshots/Examples

The enhanced logging will output messages like:

Google OAuth: Processing profile for user 123456789
Google OAuth: Successfully authenticated user user@example.com

Error messages are now more descriptive:

  • Before: Generic error
  • After: "Google authentication failed: Email address is required but not available. Please ensure your Google account has a verified email address."

- Add comprehensive logging for Google and GitHub OAuth2 flows
- Improve error handling with user-friendly error messages
- Add email validation warnings for GitHub
- Enhance domain validation for Google hosted domains
- Add comprehensive OAuth2 setup documentation

This improves debugging capabilities and user experience when
configuring OAuth2 authentication providers.
