# Prerequisites

You need to prepare the following in total:

  1. Create an Authing Account
  2. Apply for a Weibo web application
  3. Fill in the Weibo web application information in the Authing console

# Apply for Weibo web application

Go to Weibo Open Platform (opens new window)to register a web application according to the official guidelines, and set the callback link to:

https://core.authing.cn/connection/social/weibo/:userPoolId/callback

Please replace :userPoolId with your user pool ID

# Fill in the Weibo web application information in the Authing console

After creating the Weibo web application, please follow the instructions below to find the Weibo social login configuration in the Authing console:

You need to fill in your Weibo application information here:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Redirect:This is your business callback domain name, which is different from the callback link configured in the Weibo web application. For example, your website domain name is https://example.com and the url for processing Authing callback requests is /auth/weibo/callback, then you should fill in as https://example.com/auth/weibo/callback. If you need to configure the callback link separately in OIDC or OAuth applications, the address here can be filled in: #.
  • Scopes(optional):By default, Authing will only request authorization from users for basic user information (such as avatars, nicknames, etc.). If you need more advanced permissions, you can check the corresponding options. For details, please refer to Configure Login Authorization Scopes.

After configuration, please click "OK" to save the information.
