Step 1: Setup NextCloud as OAuth Provider

- At the top of the next page you see the list of registered clients, (which is empty initially). Below "Add client", enter the name of your OAuth Client (e.g., "miniOrange App") in the first field (Name). Note that the name that you enter here will be displayed to your Client users.
- In the second field (Redirection URI), enter the URL of your OAuth Client followed.

- Now you can connect OAuth client with NextCloud (OAuth Provider) and the following endpoints are:
| Authorization endpoint: |
https://< your-nextcloud-domain >/apps/oauth2/authorize

| Token endpoint: |
https://< your-nextcloud-domain >/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token
|
| User info endpoint: |
https://< your-nextcloud-domain >/ocs/v2.php/cloud/user?format=json
|
Step 2: Setup WordPress as OAuth Client

Step 3: User Attribute Mapping.
- User Attribute Mapping is mandatory for enabling users to successfully login into WordPress. We will be setting up user profile attributes for WordPress using below settings.
Finding user attributes

- You will see all the values returned by your OAuth Provider to WordPress in a table. If you don't see value for First Name, Last Name, Email or Username, make the required settings in your OAuth Provider to return this information.
- Once you see all the values in Test Configuration, go to Attribute / Role Mapping tab, you will get the list of attributes in a Username dropdown.
Step 4: Login Settings / Sign In Settings.
- The settings in SSO Settings tab define the user experience for Single Sign On. To add a login widget on your WordPress page, you need to follow below steps.
