Configuring authentication with OAuth¶
Only applies if you're not using Handover or VATSIM Connect
These settings do not apply if you're using Handover or VATSIM Connect to authenticate your users.
Control Center supports both VATSIM Connect, Handover and other OAuth providers to authenticate and fetch user data.
If you're looking for a centralised authentication service, check out our Handover service, or use VATSIM Connect.
While support for VATSIM Connect and Handover is configured by default, there are additional settings you need to configure for Control Center to work with other OAuth-based identity providers.
Use VATSIM Connect or Handover if possible
No explicit configuration is required for VATSIM Connect or Handover. Consider using either VATSIM SSO or Handover for authentication by utilising the standard configuration.
