## Create an IdentityProvider in Aidbox

Using REST Console create an IdentityProvider config.

```yaml
PUT /IdentityProvider/github?_format=yaml&_pretty=true
content-type: text/yaml

type: github
active: true
system: https://github.com
scopes:
  - profile
  - openid
  - read:org
  - user
# not required
organizations:
  - <your-github-organization-name1>
  - <your-github-organization-name2>
client:
  id: <client-id>
  secret: <client-secret>
  redirect_uri: <base-url>/auth/callback/github
```

## Login into Aidbox with GitHub

Go to your Aidbox base URL, you will be redirected to the login page - you should see **"Sign in with \<provider.title or .type>"** button. Press this button and log in with GitHub user into Aidbox.
