# Configure Embedded Authentication Type

Let's configure the *Native Catalyst Authentication* type, *Embedded Login* in this section.

1. Authentication is a [Catalyst Cloud Scale](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/) component. Click the **Cloud Scale** icon on the console's side navigation menu to access the Cloud Scale service console, then click **Start Exploring**.

2. Click **Authentication** under *Security & Identity* to access the Authentication component.

3. Set up the application's authentication using [*Embedded Authentication*](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/native-catalyst-authentication/embedded-authentication/introduction/), a Native Catalyst Authentication type. Click the **Set Up** button in the Native Catalyst Authentication section to start configuring your login element.

> **Note:**

You can also learn about other authentication types here.

* [Hosted Login](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/native-catalyst-authentication/hosted-authentication-type/introduction/)
* [Third-party Authentication](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/third-party-authentication/introduction/)

4. Select *Embedded Authentication* and click **Next**.

5. Click the **toggle button** to enable *Public Signup*.
    ![catalyst_authentication_embedded_public_toggle_highlight](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/embedded_auth/catalyst_authentication_embedded_public_toggle_highlight.webp)

    * Read the information pop-up and click **Yes, Proceed**.

> **Note:** To learn more about *Public Signup*, visit this [help document](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/public-signup/).

6. You can add any or all of the [ Identity Provider Logins](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/social-logins/introduction/) that are present in the console.
   
    To enable the **Zoho** identity provider login:

    - Click the **Zoho** button, and enter "**AuthorizationPortal**" as the *Client Name*.

> **Note:** As your application is being built on Catalyst, you do not have to create OAuth `Client ID` and `Client Secret` credentials.

    - Click **Enable**.
        Your end-users can now log in to your application using their Zoho credentials. 

    To enable the **Google** identity provider login:

    - Click the **Google** button, and enter the OAuth `Client ID` and `Client Secret` that you obtained in the Google console in their respective fields.
        ![google](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/embedded_auth/google.webp)

> **Note:**  Steps to obtain the OAuth `Client ID` and `Client Secret` for each of the identity provider logins can be accessed in the following help documents: [Google](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/social-logins/configuring-social-logins/#enable-google-social-login), [Microsoft 365](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/social-logins/configuring-social-logins/#enable-microsoft-365-social-login), [LinkedIn](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/social-logins/configuring-social-logins/#enable-linkedin-social-login), and [Facebook](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/social-logins/configuring-social-logins/#enable-facebook-social-login).

    - Click **Enable**.
        
        Your end-users can now log in to your application using their **Google** credentials.
    
    You can repeat the same steps to enable the other identity provider logins.
    
7. Click **Next**.

> **Note:** You can also [edit your identity provider login configurations](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/native-catalyst-authentication/embedded-authentication/setup-embedded-auth/) at a later point from the Authentication Type section.

8. We will configure the *Additional Settings* section at a later point using the *Whitelisting* feature. Click **Finish**.

    ![additional_settings](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/tutorials/embedded_auth/additional_settings.webp)

You will now able to view and verify that *Embedded Authentication* type has been enabled for your application.
