Cortex comes out of the box with Google as the default authentication provider.

In this guide, we'll go through the end-to-end process for using your own Google Cloud app for SSO.

1. Set up a Google OAuth app​

To set up a new Google OAuth app, you can follow the instructions here.

2. Create an OAuth client ID​

From APIs & Services settings in your Google Cloud instance, click Create Credentials. Select Web application as the Application type.

In the Authorized redirect URI section, add https://cortexapp.auth0.com/login/callback as an authorized redirect URI.

3. Copy the client ID and client secret​

When you click Create, you'll be taken back to APIs & Services settings. A modal will open with data about the OAuth client.

Select Google under Type and enter the following information:
