External sign-in
Sign in and link the account with Google, GitHub or 42, with clear rules to merge or move accounts.
- Category: Community and extra services
- Status: Available
- Requirements: A Google, GitHub or 42 account
- MCP tools: No MCP tools: it is used from the dashboard.
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:
- The profile with the open session in the browser: it is linking from its account.
- The profile that already has that provider account: it is signing in.
- The profile with the same email: it is the same person registered another way.
- None: a new account is created with a random password the person does not use.
| Link result | What happened |
|---|---|
creada | Linked for the first time. |
actualizada | It already belonged to this profile; its data was refreshed. |
movida | It was on another profile and moved to this one. |
reemplazada | This 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.
Diagram
- ArduMaker: requests the provider URL
- Google, GitHub or 42: the person authorises
- ArduMaker callback: decides the profile
- Session: ready in the browser
Expected result
The person signs in with their provider and sees in their settings which accounts are linked.
Errors and troubleshooting
| Code | Cause |
|---|---|
409 ultima_integracion | It 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_vinculada | That account is not linked to the profile. |
400 proveedor_desconocido | The provider is not github, google or 42. |
