Feature: Authenticate Portal with Backend

[swghosh]

Background

A simple portal as a part of the website that uses Google Sign In / Login with Facebook to authenticate users.

Facebook Login

Login with Facebook has been implemented on the website using a demo page (File: www/portal/index.php). Which has all the required credentials for the required OAuth authentication*.

Refer: Login with Facebook for Websites

Google Sign In

Google Sign In has also been implemented on the website using the same demo page (File: www/portal/index.php). It allows Google OAuth based Sign in for this website. The OAuth consent screen has also been approved from Google's side.

Refer: Google Sign-In for Websites

Workaround

A simple web portal that can login users with either their Google account or Facebook is required to be implemented. The following steps are required to be programmed in order to bring it to action:

• Authenticate user credentials with a backend server, both in case of Facebook and Google account sign in success. Kindly refer to these articles: for Google and for Facebook.
• Create database tables to accordingly store the user data. A common table schema could store the details fetched from the respective login API like name, email address, etc.
• Show user a welcome screen if he/she is a new user, record his/her personal information to the database
• Redirect the user to a demo portal like page (which is of course only accessible by the registered users / authenticated members exclusively). Use HTTP status codes like 403 to restrict content access to unauthenticated members or alternatively redirect them with 302 to help them sign in. Refer to these articles wherever required: HTTP Status Codes (MDN), Set Header for Location in PHP.
