- After the creation is complete, you need to record the API Key (ie Client ID) and Secret Key (ie Client Secret) of the application, which will be used later.
On the security settings page, set the authorization callback page address to: https://core.authing.cn/connection/social/baidu/<YOUR_USERPOOL_ID>/callback
Replace <YOUR_USERPOOL_ID> in it with your user pool ID.

¶ Step 3: Development Access
Recommended development access method: use the hosted login page
Description of advantages and disadvantages: Simple operation and maintenance, and Authing is responsible for operation and maintenance. Each user pool has an independent second-level domain name; if you need to embed it into your application, you need to use the pop-up mode to log in, that is: after clicking the login button, a window will pop up with the content of Authing hosting login page, or redirect the browser to the login page hosted by Authing.
Detailed access method:
3.1 Create an app in the Authing console. For details, see: How to create an app in Authing
3.2 On the created Baidu identity source connection details page, open and associate an application created in the Authing console
3.3 Experience Baidu third-party login on the login page
