Connect GitHub Account

If you have a GitHub account (github.com) then you can use it for VDJServer. To get started, go to the VDJServer website with your web browser as shown in the figure below.

Click on the “Login with …” button, and you will be taken to a Tapis options page that provides a number of login options.

Click on the “GitHub Accounts” button from the Tapis options. This will display the GitHub login page as shown below.

Login with GitHub as normal. This may require additional two-factor authentication or other security measures depending upon your GitHub account. After you successfully login, GitHub will ask to authorize “vdj-prod-tapis by Joe Stubbs”. The following screenshot shows an example. Review the information and click “Authorize” button to accept.

At any time, you can go into your GitHub settings; under Applications / Authorized OAuth Apps, you can review the authorization and revoke access, if desired. If you revoke access, you can re-connect your GitHub account with VDJServer by going through these same steps.

Finally, you will be redirected back to the Tapis webpage to finish connecting your account to VDJServer as shown below. Click “Connect” to finish the process.

If authentication worked properly, you will be shown the VDJServer My Projects page. In the future, you will not need to repeat the intermediate authorization steps.

Congratulations! The full capabilities of VDJServer are now available for you to use.
