How to create my own provider for Identity OAuth

• Decide on a short and sweet name

• Follow the steps on creating an XWiki Extension (you will need both a Xar extension depending on a Jar extension specific to the requiremeents below)

• this will be stored in an XWiki space where you include in WebHome all necessary resources and should be stored as a maven project of pacakging xar

• create an API project with a Java class implementing com.xwiki.identityoauth.IdentityOAuthProvider Make it a component and assign it the annotation @Named("name") (with name replaced by your chosen short and seet name)

• create a provider page in the space and add the XWiki object of XClass IdentityOAuth.OAuthProvider

  • give it the (short and sweet) name
  • give it a loginCode: the property's content will be rendered and embedded in the login page with the following strings replaced:
    • -URL-: The URL of the login page of this wiki (configured later)
    • -PROVIDER-: The short and sweet name
  • indicate the configuration page reference so it can be reloaded
  • indicate the order hint to decide on the order of the login buttons (XWiki's login is always there and order 0).

• create a configuration page in the space and add the XWiki object of XClass IdentityOAuthConfigClass

• you should be ready to run already by logging out and trying to go to the identity provider and coming back

• (optional) create a configuration sheet by creating a wiki page to be rendered (a sheet) and adding an XWiki.ConfigurableClass XWiki object. In the codeToExecute property, include {{include reference="Space.ConfigSheet" /}} replacing appropriately to include the sheet. This will allow administrators to configure the service (e.g. including API client and secrets).

  • Let this sheet start with {{include reference="IdentityOAuth.IdentityOAuthConfigMacros" /}} (outside of a {{velocity}} macro) and invoke the macro initConfigObjects("Space.ConfigDoc", "Space.ExtraConfigClass","translationPrefix_") where ExtraConfig is an XWiki object to store the provider specific information.
