Configure Custom OAuth 2.0 Provider with Joomla OAuth Client Plugin

This guide will walk you through configuring our Joomla OAuth Client extension to enable secure login with a custom OAuth 2.0 provider. By the end of this setup, your users will be able to sign into your Joomla site using their OAuth provider credentials, providing a seamless and secure Single Sign-On (SSO) experience.

This integration delegates the authentication process to Custom OAuth Provider. This means you can centralize user management and utilize your provider's advanced security features directly for your Joomla site. Our extension acts as the bridge, handling the complex OAuth 2.0 protocol behind the scenes.


In this configuration, Your Custom OAuth Provider functions as the OAuth server, while Joomla allows users to log in with their Auth0 credentials by utilizing the Joomla OAuth Client Plugin.

  • Login into your Joomla site’s Administrator console.
  • From left toggle menu, click on System, then under Install section click on Extensions.
  • Now click on Or Browse for file button to locate and install the plugin file downloaded earlier.
  • Installation of plugin is successful. Now click on Get Started!
