## Configuration example

The GitHub SSO provider is configured in the `auth.providers` array of [the `config/admin` file](/cms/configurations/admin-panel):

```js title="/config/admin.js"

const GithubStrategy = require("passport-github2");

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  auth: {
    // ...
    providers: [
      {
        uid: "github",
        displayName: "Github",
        icon: "https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/logotypes/32/github-512.png",
        createStrategy: (strapi) =>
          new GithubStrategy(
            {
              clientID: env("GITHUB_CLIENT_ID"),
              clientSecret: env("GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET"),
              scope: ["user:email"],
              callbackURL:
                strapi.admin.services.passport.getStrategyCallbackURL("github"),
            },
            (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) => {
              done(null, {
                email: profile.emails[0].value,
                username: profile.username,
              });
            }
          ),
      },
    ],
  },
});

```

```ts title="/config/admin.ts"

  auth: {
    // ...
    providers: [
      {
        uid: "github",
        displayName: "Github",
        icon: "https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/logotypes/32/github-512.png",
        createStrategy: (strapi) =>
          new GithubStrategy(
            {
              clientID: env("GITHUB_CLIENT_ID"),
              clientSecret: env("GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET"),
              scope: ["user:email"],
              callbackURL:
                strapi.admin.services.passport.getStrategyCallbackURL("github"),
            },
            (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) => {
              done(null, {
                email: profile.emails[0].value,
                username: profile.username,
              });
            }
          ),
      },
    ],
