OAuth 42 Intra

During development, for OAuth to work, you will first need to:

• create an app on the intra.
  • as the redirect URI, enter the following: http://localhost:5173/oauth.
• in the .env file which is located in the root of the project, place the following three variables:
  • INTRA_API_UID=applicationUID
  • INTRA_API_SECRET=secretToken
  • STATE_STRING=a_very_long_random_string_which_must_be_unguessable
• replace the value of the first two variables with your app’s UID and secret which you can find in your app’s page.
• replace (or not) the value of the third variable with an unguessable random string. It is used to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.
• create an .env file inside the root of the frontend folder and place the following two variables in it:
  • VITE_INTRA_API_AUTHORIZE_URL=auth_url
  • VITE_STATE_STRING=a_very_long_random_string_which_must_be_unguessable
• as the value of the first variable, you should write the long url that you can find in your app’s page (it looks like this but longer: https://api.intra.42.fr/oauth/authorize/your_formatted_url).
• as the value of the second variable, you should write the exact same string you put into the other .env’s STATE_STRING variable.
• (if necessary, do not forget to bring down the docker-compose container and bring it back up)
