Using Google's AppEngine, webapp2, Oauth2 and Python 2.7 to verify users

To view example visit https://gae-oauth2.appspot.com/

Setting up on localhost

1. Setup a project in the api console so we have a client_id and client_secret https://code.google.com/apis/console

• Create Project
• Click API Access
• Click Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID...
• Enter in a product Name and Product logo (optional) > click next
• Choose Web application, Choose http:// (not secure https://), enter localhost, click Create client ID
• Copy the client_id and paste it in the views.py where decorator = (client_id = 'past client_id here')
• Copy the client_secret and also past it in the views.py decorator.

Creating app on appspot.com

1. Create a new app https://appengine.google.com/

• Choose a Application Identifier that no one has used yet (this is often the most difficult part)
• Authentication Options (Advanced) CHECK (Experimental) Open to all users with an OpenID Provider
• Click Create Application
• On the dashboard, left navigation bar, under Adminstration, click Application Settings
• Set Authentication Options to Google Accounts API
• Save Settings

Updating oauth2 to point to appspot instead of localhost

1. In API Access, Click edit settings on the right side of the Client ID (originally created for localhost)

• Remove "localhost"
• Add http://<your_application_id>.appspot.com/oauth2callback to the redirect uri
• Also add https://<your_application_id>.appspot.com/oauth2callback to the redirect uri
• Change the javasript Origins to http://<your_application_id>.appspot.com
