    4. Select the Generic OAuth IdP type and register the Strategy environment as an application with the provided Login Redirect URIs.

    5. Copy and paste the following values from the Google credential file into the Workstation fields:

      • In Client ID, enter the value from client_email.

      • In Client Secret, enter the value from private_key.

      • In OAuthURL, enter the value from token_uri.
