Enable social-auth locally (updated)

Go to Google developer console, make a new Project and enable 'Google+API' service

Go to the 'Credentials' and Add the following:

1. Add the local root url of your service as 'Authorized Javascript Origin' 
   Example: http://localhost:18000 ( in case of lms )
2. Add the 'Authorized redirect URI' 
   Example: http://localhost:18000/auth/complete/google-oauth2/ ( in case of lms )
3. Click 'Save'

Create/extend the 'private.py' by the following:

from .common import FEATURES, AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS

FEATURES['ENABLE_THIRD_PARTY_AUTH'] = True
THIRD_PARTY_AUTH = {
    "Google": {
        "SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY":"{client ID}",
        "SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET":"{client secret}"
     }
}
THIRD_PARTY_AUTH_BACKENDS = [
    'social_core.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',
]
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS += THIRD_PARTY_AUTH_BACKENDS

Configure the google-oauth2 third_party_auth backend by either going inserting in the SQL database:

INSERT INTO third_party_auth_oauth2providerconfig VALUES ('1', '2015-07-01 18:29:39.000000', '1', 'fa-google-plus', 'Google', '0', '0', '0', 'google-oauth2', '{client ID}', '{client secret}', '{}', NULL, '', '1', 'google-oauth2', '1');

OR via Django Admin

1. Go to http://localhost:18000/admin/third_party_auth/oauth2providerconfig/add/
2. Select "Enabled"
3. Set "Icon class" to fa-google-plus
4. Set "Name" to 'Google'
5. Set "Slug" to 'google-oauth2'
6. Select "Visible"
7. Set "Backend Name" to 'google-oauth2'
8. Set "Client ID" to {client ID}
9. Set "Client Secret" to {client secret}
10. Click "Save"
