  1. Go to Google developer console, make a new Project and enable 'Google+API' service
  2. Go to the 'Credentials' and Add the following:
    • Add the local root url of your service as 'Authorized Javascript Origin' 
      • Example: http://localhost:8000 ( in case of lms )
    • Add the 'Authorized redirect URI' 
      • Example: http://localhost:8000/auth/complete/google-oauth2// ( in case of lms )
    • Click 'Save'
  3. Create/extend the 'private.py' by the following:
    • from django.conf import settings

      settings.FEATURES['ENABLE_THIRD_PARTY_AUTH'] = True
      settings.AUTH_TOKENS['THIRD_PARTY_AUTH'] = {
      "Google": {
      "SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY":"{client ID}",
      "SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET":"{client secret}"
       }
      }
