Here’s how OmniAuth works from the user’s standpoint:
- User tries to access a page on yoursite that requires them to be logged in. They are redirected to the login screen.
- The login screen offers the options of creating an account or logging in with Google.
- The user clicks Log in with Google. This momentarily sends the user to yoursite.com/auth/google, which quickly redirects to the Google sign-in page.
- If the user is not already signed in to Google, they sign in normally. More likely, they are already signed in, so Google simply asks if it’s okay to let yoursite.com access the user’s information. The user agrees.
- They are (hopefully quickly) redirected to yoursite.com/auth/google/callback and, from there, to the page they initially tried to access.
