I am trying to setup Firebase custom OAuth using Java as JWT server. I am able to successfully setup this.
But when I am trying to login using the custom token the provider field in the Auth page leaves empty any help how to setup to my own text?

I'm currently thinking about using Firebase Auth system with my custom rest api service.
For example:
My custom api would authorise requests coming from angular app, but auth system begins in that
Angular app, so there I would get authenticated.
Later on, I would pass a token received from firebase to communicate with my service.
That service would check if token is ok and then let me in to resources.
Is it possible to do ?
We are creating an app and using firebase authentication. We have an existing oauth2 provider in our organization. Is it possible to add this custom provider in firebase? So we will add a new client in our identity provider and configure firebase so that it can accept token from it.
I have four Appengine Standard Application.
For authentication I will receive a JWT token of my customer (They have an oauth provider), I know that Firebase has some defaults providers Oauth like as Github, Google, Facebook and integration with Javascript API is verey easy. But I need to use of my customer.
Is there a possibility to have a new OAuth provider in Firebase console to easily integration my app with firebase like this example?
For the backend I am thinking to use SDK to validate a token.
FirebaseAuth.getInstance().verifyIdTokenAsync(idToken).get();
To sign in with unsupported OAuth providers, your need to use custom authentication. Here is a full example on how to authenticate with Instragram: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/10/authenticate-your-firebase-users-with.html
I want custom firebase authentication where a user manages the roles of subordinate users. I need guidance on understanding on how to implement my own backend authentication system. Everywhere the documentation keeps mentioning that 'send the username and password to your backend that will generate a custom token'. What is this backend? where do I pursue this? My knowledge domain is firebase, firebase functions, angular 2/4, ionic2 for this discussion... thanks
To use custom authentication, you need to create a JSON Web Token (JWT) on your existing backend server, after you have used your existing backend server to validate the username and password of the user (or however else your backend server validates your users).
To create that JWT, use the configuration described at https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/create-custom-tokens?authuser=0#create_custom_tokens_using_a_third-party_jwt_library
There is PHP and Ruby code available at that page, for anyone using a language that does not have an SDK available from Google, but which does have a JWT library available.
The JWT is signed with your private key, which you can obtain as indicated at https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/create-custom-tokens?authuser=0#create_custom_tokens_using_a_third-party_jwt_library
Although that page describes initializing the SDK, this section also has instructions for creating the private key for your service account using the Firebase console at https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk
You will have to send the email password to the firebase sdk in using javascript in web then when the sdk success functions tell that the user has been authenticated the web page will send result to your backend server (can be nodejs or php etc) from there you have to manage your own database to handle all the role base access.
Firebase is basically authenticating the user for you and telling you that you can identify this user using the following userid and then build your own system.
Firebase has access rules but those you have to define first you cannot fully customize them for each user.
For password auth see this:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/password-auth
An easy way to do custom auth with Firebase is using an external identity provider. Auth0 is an example of such a provider.

As i am new to react native stuck at one point.
I am developing an app in which i am using wordpress as a backend to store the new users data.
To Create a new user i need authentication as i am using wp rest api plugin to create user.
For authentication i have used Oauth Server plugin in wordpress admin.
Now issue is as per the Oauth documentation i need to get the authentication code in my app.
So want to know how to redirect_uri to our react-native app so that i can get authorization code in app?
To get authorization code in react-native app, You need to set the custom Url scheme.
twitter has well documented guide to create it.
https://dev.twitter.com/cards/mobile/url-schemes
After creating the Url scheme. You need to set the redirect_uri as explained here in wp-oauth server's docs Step 2 and replace the created custom url of your app in redirect_uri.
This will redirect you to your app when oauth server's callback with the access token that you can use in your react-native application.
