Github oauth multiple authorization callback URL

Question

I want to work in my localhost and my live domain, there is any way to insert more then one callback to github oauth settings? How we solve this problem?

Redirect URLs

Answer 1

I solved this issue by creating a dedicated OAuth application on Github for my local development environment. So I have the following 2 OAuth applications:

1. My official OAuth application for production

   • Client ID: ABC
   • Client Secret: 123
   • Authorization callback URL: https://example.com/api/v1/security/oauth/github/callback

2. My private OAuth application for development

   • Client ID: XYZ
   • Client Secret: 456
   • Authorization callback URL: https://localhost/api/v1/security/oauth/github/callback

When I configure my API in local, I use the ID and secret of the development application (2). And in production I use the ID and secret of my official application (1).

Answer 2

Instead of using localhost, you can modify your hosts file and point your domain to use 127.0.0.1. On a Mac, open the hosts file located under:

Computer > Macintosh HD > etc

Add the entry for your domain. For example if your domain is mycoolapp.com

127.0.0.1 mycoolapp.com

Just make sure to comment out this line when you want to test using your production server:

#127.0.0.1 mycoolapp.com

Using this solution, you don't need to maintain two separate configurations.

According their doc, you don't need to register localhost redirect URLs, but it just accepts URLs even if it doesn't match the registered one as long as its host part is localhost.
