To provide support for multiple SSO applications, simply repeat this process and create another social application entry
### Configure Callback URL
The external SSO application must be provided with a *callback* URL - a URL by which it can communicate with the InvenTree server. The specific *name* that the external SSO application uses for this callback URL may vary, with some authentication applications referring to it with other names such as *reply* or *redirect*.
In any case, the URL is is specific to your installation and the SSO provider. The general pattern for this URL is: `{% raw %}<hostname>/accounts/<provider>/login/callback/{% endraw %}`.
!!! success "Works for Local Installs"
Your server does not need to be "public facing" for this to work. For example the URL `http://localhost:1234/accounts/github/login/callback/` would be perfectly valid!
### Enable SSO Settings
Now that the social application is created, you need to enable SSO authentication for the InvenTree server.
