Finally, click "Create Application". After the creation is complete, you need to record the Client ID and Client Secret, which will be used in the next step.

Step 2: Configure Gitee in the Authing Console

Login ModeAfter enabling the "Login Only Mode", you can only log in to an existing account and cannot create a new account. Please choose carefully.

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, the content is the login page hosted by Authing, or the browser The server redirects to the login page hosted by Authing.

  • Detailed access method:
