Sina Weibo signs users in with their Weibo account, a mainstream consumer identity in mainland China.

## Copy the redirect URI

In the [Authdog console](https://console.authdog.com), select the project and environment, open **Authentication > Providers**, find **新浪微博 (Weibo)**, and click **Enable**. Copy the redirect URI shown in the form:

```url
https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/callback/<connectionId>
```

## Create the application

1. Open the [Weibo open platform](https://open.weibo.com/) and create a web application.
2. Set the authorization callback page to the redirect URI from Authdog.
3. Complete the application review Weibo requires before public use.
4. Copy the **App Key** and **App Secret**.

## Configure Authdog

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Client ID** | The Weibo **App Key** |
| **Client Secret** | The Weibo **App Secret** |

Save, then toggle the connection **active**.

## What Weibo returns

Authdog requests the provider's default scopes and reads the profile from `https://api.weibo.com/2/account/get_uid.json`.

The account endpoint returns the numeric Weibo uid, which Authdog uses as the stable identifier.

This connector does not return an email address, so users who arrive through it have a display name and an identifier only. Pair it with a method that collects one, or ask for an email after the first sign-in.

## Test it

1. Open your environment's hosted sign-in page, or link to `https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/signin/<connectionId>`.
2. Select the Weibo button and complete the flow.
3. Confirm the user appears under **Users** in the console with a Weibo identity linked.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Cause |
| --- | --- |
| `redirect_uri_mismatch` | The callback page does not match the registered value |
| Only test accounts can sign in | The application has not passed Weibo's review |
| Redirect or callback URL error | The URI registered with the provider does not match Authdog's exactly |
| Works in one environment only | Each environment has its own `connectionId`, and so its own redirect URI to register |
