refactor: move docs into new structure / fix links for SEO (#2416)
## What

This (admittedly massive) PR updates the "physical" documentation
structure and fixes url inconsistencies and SEO problems reported by
marketing. The main points are:

- remove or move directories : advanced, user_guide, deploy, api
- move the files contained within to the appropriate one of topics,
how-to, tutorials, or reference
- update internal doc links and product links to the content
- create client-side redirects for all the urls that have changed.

A number of the files have been renamed in small ways to better match
their url and to make them easier to find. Additionally, the top-level
api directory has been moved to /reference/api/legacy/unleash (see the
discussion points section for more on this).

## Why

When moving our doc structure to diataxis a while back, we left the
"physical' files lying where they were, because it didn't matter much to
the new structure. However, that did introduce some inconsistencies with
where you place docs and how we organize them.

There's also the discrepancies in whether urls us underscores or hyphens
(which isn't necessarily the same as their file name), which has been
annoying me for a while, but now has also been raised by marketing as an
issue in terms of SEO.

## Discussion points

The old, hand-written API docs have been moved from /api to
/reference/api/legacy/unleash. There _is_ a /reference/api/unleash
directory, but this is being populated by the OpenAPI plugin, and mixing
those could only cause trouble. However, I'm unsure about putting
/legacy/ in the title, because the API isn't legacy, the docs are. Maybe
we could use another path? Like /old-docs/ or something? I'd appreciate
some input on this.

[Deprecated] How to add SSO with Google

:::caution Deprecation notice

Single Sign-on via the Google Authenticator provider is deprecated. We recommend using OpenID Connect instead.

:::

Introduction

In this guide we will do a deep dive on the Single-Sign-On (SSO) using Google Authentication. Unleash supports other identity providers and protocols, have a look at all available Single-Sign-On options

Basic configuration

Step 1: Sign-in to Unleash

In order to configure SSO you will need to log in to the Unleash instance with a user that have "Admin" role. If you are self-hosting Unleash then a default user will be automatically created the first time you start Unleash:

  • username: admin
  • password: unleash4all

Step 2: Navigate to SSO configuration

In order to configure SSO with Google with your Unleash enterprise you should navigate to the Single-Sign-On configuration section and choose the "Google" tab.

sso-config

Step 3: Google Authentication

Navigate to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials

  1. Click Create credentials
  2. Choose Oauth Client Id
  3. Choose Application Type: web application
  4. Add https://[unleash.hostname.com]/auth/google/callback as an authorized redirect URI.

You will then get a Client ID and a Client Secret that you will need in the next step.

Google OAuth: Secret

Step 4: Configure Unleash

Login to Unleash and navigate to Admin menu -> Single-Sign-on -> Google.

First insert the Client Id and Client Secret from step 3.

You must also specify the hostname Unleash is running on. If Unleash is running on localhost you should specify the port as well (localhost:4242).

If you want to allow everyone in your organization to access Unleash, and have Unleash auto-create users you can enable this option. You should then also specify which email domains you want to allow logging in to Unleash.

Remember to click “Save” to store your settings.

Google OAuth: Secret

Step 5: Verify

Logout of Unleash and sign back in again. You should now be presented with the “SSO Authentication Option”. Click the button and follow the sign-in flow. If all goes well you should be successfully signed in to Unleash. If something is not working you can still sign-in with username and password.
