Google external provider not working

[mikethedarv]

I cannot get google's OAuth working for sign in. It issues the challenge and directs me to Google's login/authorization screen. After I accept, it brings me back to the login view with an error "Invalid Account". After looking in the source, I think the external cookie is not being set. I've written an action that tries to access the cookie 'Constants.ExternalAuthenticationType' and the value is null.

The ConfigureAdditionalIdentityProviders looks like:

var google = new GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationType = "Google",
SignInAsAuthenticationType = signInAsType,
ClientId = configuration.ClientId,
ClientSecret = configuration.ClientSecret
};

app.UseGoogleAuthentication(google);

Ok, thanks. I'll look into it when I return from travel.

I can help out on this one. You have to make sure that the Google+ API is enabled on the Google side. Once I did that the problem was resolved.

I guess that's a good point -- I'd suggest building a standalone app that uses the same account info and callback to ensure the google side is configured correctly. Once you have that confirmed, then switch IdSvr in.

Progress?

Sorry for the delay, that did it!
