This form of authentication uses Google login credentials. A Google authentication source is predefined in the set of external authentication sources. The fields in the Google source authentication are shown below. Several API values are obtained from the Google web site during your site's registration. The registration process is described in one of the A3 Installation and Usage Guides (Installation and Usage Guide - Registration VLAN or Installation and Usage Guide - No Registration VLAN). An overview of social media authentication is available at Authentication Methods.
