Authentication with Twitch

Prerequisites

Before configuring Catena to authenticate users with Twitch, you must register an application in the Twitch developer console.

You will need the "Client ID" and "Secret" from the developer console to configure Catena.

Catena configuration

Open the appsettings for your environment and look for the Catena authentication service configuration section which contains a section for Twitch (PROVIDER_TWITCH_WEB). If the section does not exist, you may need to create it.

Fill ClientID and ClientSecret with the values from the Twitch developer console. Set the RedirectUri to the one shown in the example below as a starting point and make sure IsEnabled is set to true.

For example, in appsettings.Development.json:

{
  "Catena": {
    "Authentication": {
      "PROVIDER_TWITCH_WEB": {
        "ClientID": "<your client ID>",
        "ClientSecret": "<your client secret>",
        "RedirectUri": "/api/v1/authentication/PROVIDER_TWITCH_WEB/callback",
        "IsEnabled": true
      }
    }
  }
}
