# Default Configuration

The authentication settings for ShipWithDjango are highly configurable, allowing you to control user registrations and enable or disable third-party logins with ease. These settings are managed through the `CONFIG/authentication.py` file, where you can adjust the configuration to suit your project’s needs.

Here’s a breakdown of the default configuration and how you can customize it:

```python
ALLOW_REGISTRATIONS = True

# Third-party login
# Global setting. If this is disabled, all third-party login will be disabled.
# This setting needs to be set to True to enable ANY individual third-party login.
ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY_LOGIN = False

# LinkedIn
ALLOW_LINKED_IN_LOGIN = False
LINKED_IN_CLIENT_ID = None
LINKED_IN_CLIENT_SECRET = None

# Github
ALLOW_GITHUB_LOGIN = False
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID = None
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET = None
```

### Registrations

The `ALLOW_REGISTRATIONS` setting controls whether new users can sign up for your application. If you set `ALLOW_REGISTRATIONS` to `False`, the signup page will be blocked, preventing any new registrations. This can be useful for maintaining a closed or invite-only platform.

### Third-Party Logins

ShipWithDjango supports third-party logins through GitHub and LinkedIn, offering your users a convenient way to authenticate using their existing accounts.

#### Enabling Third-Party Logins

To enable third-party logins, you first need to set `ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY_LOGIN` to `True`. This global setting must be enabled for any individual third-party login (such as GitHub or LinkedIn) to function. If this is set to `False`, no third-party login options will be available, even if they are individually configured.

#### **Github**

If you want to enable GitHub, you can do so by setting the `ALLOW_GITHUB_LOGIN` to `True`. Before you can integrate with GitHub, you will need to create an application in GitHub that can be used to authenticate with.[ Find out more here.](https://docs.shipwithdjango.com/authentication/github)
