1. How do I get the detailed to configure the GitHub connector in midpoint?

Please check Example configuration page.

2. How do I configure Private Key in midPoint configuration?

If you edit the XML directly, set the PEM as shown in the below to load it.

    <connectorConfiguration xmlns:icfc="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/connector/icf-1/connector-schema-3">
        ...
        <icfc:configurationProperties xmlns:gen500="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/connector/icf-1/bundle/jp.openstandia.connector.connector-github/jp.openstandia.connector.github.GitHubConnector">
            <gen500:privateKey>-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEpQIBAAKCAQEAvolV7oc2OtbDGw8Q8elj4VnZgyEp4IIj+85bI3a3ZpoU4+LL
...
yWoplzM9xuj5CyOLzKeM12EJR/sf0MOUO5tbg9uNNuDybDtRpcRbnok=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
</gen500:privateKey>
            <gen500:appId>(GitHub App ID)</gen500:appId>
            ...

Or, if setting from the GUI, you can paste PEM with "\n" replaced by single-byte spaces.

• Is SAML authentication successful when you run "Test SAML configuration" on GitHub?

• Does the application for this connector registered with GitHub Apps have "Read and write access to members" permission?
