Umbraco Auth Provider

What it does

This skill enables Umbraco websites to securely integrate with external authentication providers, such as Google, Microsoft, or GitHub, for backoffice login (OAuth/SSO). It provides the user interface component – a login button – within the Umbraco backoffice. Crucially, this skill handles only the frontend presentation and behavior; the backend authentication provider configuration must be set up separately in C#.

When to use it

• You want to allow your Umbraco backoffice users to log in using their existing accounts from external providers (e.g., Google Workspace).
• You need to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) for the Umbraco backoffice.
• You are integrating a custom OAuth authentication provider with your Umbraco website.

Key capabilities

• Provides UI components (login buttons) for external authentication.
• Supports common providers like Google, Microsoft, and GitHub.
• Allows for custom OAuth provider integration.
• Generates frontend files including manifests and optional custom elements.

Example prompts

• "Create an Umbraco Auth Provider manifest to enable login with GitHub."
• "Generate the necessary files for a custom authentication provider named 'MyAuthProvider'."
• "Show me an example of a manifest file for integrating Google Workspace login into the Umbraco backoffice."

Tips & gotchas

• Backend Configuration Required: This skill only handles the frontend. You must configure the corresponding C# authentication provider in your Umbraco backend first. Refer to the External Login Providers documentation for details.
• Manifest File: The skill generates a manifest file (umbraco-package.json). This file defines the provider's name, alias, and appearance within the Umbraco backoffice.
