# ORCID
2+
3+
Janeway lets users register and log in with their ORCID account.
4+
5+
## Setting up ORCID login
6+
7+
It can be set up in a few steps.
8+
9+
1. Create an API client on orcid.org.
10+
11+
2. Enter each production domain for your Janeway instance as a redirect URL on orcid.org. If Janeway is set to domain mode, each journal will need its own redirect URI.
12+
13+
3. Enable ORCID and copy the keys from your client into the Django settings file (`src/core/settings.py`).
14+
15+
```py
16+
ENABLE_ORCID = True
17+
ORCID_CLIENT_SECRET = "your client secret"
18+
ORCID_CLIENT_ID = "your client ID"
19+
```
20+
21+
Note that the URLs for the ORCID API are fixed, so you can leave the defaults in `src/core/janeway_global_settings.py`.
22+
23+
## Testing ORCID login manually
24+
25+
You can test the ORCID login flow locally, by creating a test client, adjusting your hosts file, and resetting the Janeway domain for the site you want to test.
26+
27+
The following steps were written for Ubuntu, and are meant for testing the press site.
28+
29+
1. Create a test client on orcid.org and enter a normal domain of your choosing (it won’t be accessed) with `http` and the Janeway port you use for development: `http://www.openlibhums.org:8000/`
30+
31+
2. Edit your hosts file to put in the domain from the redirect URI that orcid.org knows about, in place of the `localhost` domain:
32+
33+
```sh
34+
sudo vim /etc/hosts
35+
```
36+
37+
```
38+
127.0.0.1 www.openlibhums.org
39+
```
40+
41+
This will let orcid.org redirect your browser to the domain it knows about when authentication is finished, while allowing your browser to load the normal Janeway development server.
42+
43+
3. Restart the networking service for the change to take effect.
44+
45+
```
46+
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
47+
```
48+
49+
4. Edit your Janeway site domain to the same domain, keeping the port number.
50+
51+
```
52+
python src/manage.py alter_domains press
53+
Altering domain for Test A, current domain: localhost:8000
54+
Enter the new domain you wish to set: www.openlibhums.org:8000
55+
Altering domain record...... [Ok]
56+
```
57+
58+
5. Load the site at the new domain with `http` and the correct port (`http://www.openlibhums.org:8000/`) and test away.
