What can you do with it?

  • Create an ArduMaker account or sign in with Google, GitHub or 42.
  • Link one account from each provider to the profile from the account settings.
  • Unlink a linked account.

When should you use it?

To avoid another password, to show GitHub or 42 on the public profile, or to access the plans of a 42 school.

How does it work in ArduMaker?

When the provider returns the authorised account, ArduMaker decides which profile it belongs to, in this order:

  1. The profile with the open session in the browser: it is linking from its account.
  2. The profile that already has that provider account: it is signing in.
  3. The profile with the same email: it is the same person registered another way.
  4. None: a new account is created with a random password the person does not use.
Link resultWhat happened
creadaLinked for the first time.
actualizadaIt already belonged to this profile; its data was refreshed.
movidaIt was on another profile and moved to this one.
reemplazadaThis profile had another account from the same provider; the new one stays.

After returning from the provider, the front end turns the short session into a normal session and applies «remember me» if chosen.

What actually changes?

  • The provider integration on the profile is created or updated.
  • If the 42 account moves to another profile, the 42 school membership moves with it.
  • A new session opens for that device.

  1. ArduMaker: requests the provider URL
  2. Google, GitHub or 42: the person authorises
  3. ArduMaker callback: decides the profile
  4. Session: ready in the browser
Sign-in with a provider

Expected result

The person signs in with their provider and sees in their settings which accounts are linked.

Errors and troubleshooting

CodeCause
409 ultima_integracionIt is the last linked account and confirmation is missing. Without it, an account created through a provider may be left with no way to sign in.
404 no_vinculadaThat account is not linked to the profile.
400 proveedor_desconocidoThe provider is not github, google or 42.

MCP access

There are no MCP tools to sign in or link accounts. See /mcp/docs.
