Settings Location: Navigate to Control Room > Settings > User Authentication to configure custom login methods.
Choose Your Path
The method you choose depends on where your users are in their journey.- Users are already logged in (API Link)
- Users arrive at Nudj fresh (OAuth)
Best for: Apps, dashboards, and embedded experiencesYour users are already logged into your platform. They click a button, and boom—they’re in Nudj. No login screen. No password re-entry. Just a seamless handoff.How it works: You generate a secure token on your backend and pass it to Nudj. We verify the token, recognize the user, and let them in instantly.Setup complexity: Medium (requires backend code)User experience: Instant, frictionless login
Decision Matrix
Not sure which one fits your use case? This should help:| Scenario | Use This |
|---|---|
| Users are in your app → you want to show Nudj inline | API Link |
| Users are in your app → you want to open Nudj in a new tab | API Link |
| Users navigate directly to Nudj’s URL | OAuth |
| You want the fewest steps for your users | API Link |
| You’re following industry-standard auth patterns | OAuth |
| Your users need to authenticate to multiple services | OAuth |
Implementation Details
Both methods are secure and production-ready. The main difference is orchestration: who’s coordinating the login flow? API Link: Your system is the coordinator. You hold the credentials and decide when/how to send users to Nudj. OAuth: Both systems coordinate together through standardized protocols.API Link User Token Authentication

Quick Setup Comparison
API Link (Quick Overview)
API Link (Quick Overview)
- Get your
clientIdandclientSecretfrom Nudj - Generate a JWT token on your backend with user details
- Build a URL:
https://your-domain/api/link?userToken=<token>&clientId=<id> - Redirect your user to that URL
- User lands in Nudj, fully authenticated
OAuth (Quick Overview)
OAuth (Quick Overview)
- Set up OIDC configuration in Nudj (provide issuer, clientId, clientSecret)
- Nudj generates a callback URL
- Add that callback URL to your OAuth provider’s whitelist
- User clicks “Log in” at Nudj
- User authenticates with your provider
- User is redirected back to Nudj, fully authenticated
