idpiframe_initialization_failed with People Api - google-oauth

I am testing out the People Api, i started with the Browser quick start from google
I have followed all the instructions shown on the quick start.
I also added my localhost url to Authorized origins section on google developer console. I made sure i have the correct api key and client ID.
When i access the app's url http://0.0.0.0:8081/ , the page sends back below error
People API Quickstart
{
"error": "idpiframe_initialization_failed",
"details": "Not a valid origin for the client: http://0.0.0.0:8000 has not been whitelisted for client ID 555307262665-8a97q8pl4etkjh98nvsqnn9hu9ah68bv.apps.googleusercontent.com. Please go to https://console.developers.google.com/ and whitelist this origin for your project's client ID."
}
I've read online about the issue and most people seemed to have sorted the issue by clearing browser cache.
I've cleared browser cache and enabled see cookies and site data for
accounts.google.com on the browser, but that doesn't seem to help, i still get the error.
Is there anything am missing ?

Anyone know how to fix the new OAuth2 error when trying to authenticate a PyDrive application?

I don't think this issue is specific to PyDrive, but rather Google OAuth. However, some of the solutions I've seen on stackoverflow don't seem to be transferable over to my PyDrive application, which is just a python script to upload files programmatically to a shared drive. It worked fine 2 months ago but I tried to rerun it today and it's not working. Here is the error I'm getting:
Authorisation Error
Error 400: invalid_request
You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.
You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules.
Request Details
The content in this section has been provided by the app developer. This content has not been reviewed or verified by Google.
If you’re the app developer, make sure that these request details comply with Google policies.
redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
I am using a web application OAuth 2.0 Client ID creds on GCP. All secrets are stored in a local client_secrets.json file.
I run my script, it sends a message to the console that says
Go to the following link in your browser:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=blahblahblah.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive&access_type=offline&response_type=code
Enter verification code:
How it used to work: After I click the link above, it returns a code I paste into the console and then its authenticated. FYI: I plan on running this 24/7 on a remote server.
Now: I click the link above and get the error I posted above. I've tried to change the redirect uri to 127.0.0.1 and it does allow me to auth, then I get a code in my URL, but once I copy that and paste it into the console, I get more errors.
Anyone know the solution for this?

SameSite=Strict has no effect at all

I would like to use a SameSite=Strict cookie to mitigate CSRF for GET-requests.
The cookie consists of a randomly generated string, and is set the following way:
"Set-Cookie: CSRF_TOKEN=random_string; Path=/; SameSite=Strict; Secure"
I'd expect the cookie not to be sent back to the server, if
I click a link embedded in a site on a different domain
I click a link somewhere else (e.g. in an email) which causes a new browser-tab to open
I paste the url to my site into the address bar of a new tab (see comments)
But all of the tests above failed, i.e. the cookie always got sent to the server.
Is this expected behavior?
NOTES:
My page is accessed through its IPv4-address, no domain name is associated to it.
I am using http basic authentication.
I tested this in Google Chrome 96, Microsoft Edge 96 and Firefox 94.
Regarding point 2, actually cookies are sent when SameSite is Strict and following a link in an Email, so long as the Email client is a standalone application and not browser-based. If it is browser-based, it is a cross-domain link and blocked for that reason. But following a link in an Email does count as a first-party request, ditto following a link in another application like Word. I made a short YouTube video demonstrating it as it does seem to cause confusion.
Regarding 1, that definitely should not result in the cookie being sent. To confirm SameSite really is set to Strict on your cookie, open the browser's developer tools and look at your cookie and check the attribute is set as you expected.

Google OAuth & API: blank login because localhost is not "whitelisted"

Error (inspected from html):
details: "Not a valid origin for the client: http://localhost:3000 has not been whitelisted for client ID 830959654564-inlhib5r4afjbm4ebt1e43gt07bpvve5.apps.googleusercontent.com. Please go to https://console.developers.google.com/ and whitelist this origin for your project's client ID."
error: "idpiframe_initialization_failed"
Problem:
Tried using localhost:3000 and my local ip address given from React.
I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried using other browsers.
Blank Google OAuth
Well still no real solution but I created a new project and have reached no problems yet.
For me, this only worked when I created a project directly from https://console.developers.google.com/.
The project I created "inline" at https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/sign-in never seemed to see the origin config.

Google Analytics Reports Embed API returns 403 error

I just started to learn about Google Analytics Embed API from "https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/embed/v1/getting-started"
I followed their example, and deployed my HTML file onto local Tomcat server hosting at port 8080. I've added everything they mentioned including the whitelists for the host origin etc, provided my OAuth 2.0 key
when I hit my HTML page and logged in with google, I keep on getting 403 error when requesting for "https://content.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accountSummaries?max-results=0&_src=embed-api%3Av1"
Anybody has any suggestions where I might have gone wrong?
p.s. the only thing I see on my page after login with Google is "You are logged in as: ***********#gmail.com"
Thanks,
Shen
Upon checking your link, I can see that the error code is 401. Regarding that error, you can check this SO thread.
I think you need to set up a service account as advised in answer.
By setting up a service account in Google apis console it will
allow you to access your own data with out needing to login and
autenticate the code all the time.

Google OAuth 2 authorization - Error: redirect_uri_mismatch

On the website https://code.google.com/apis/console I have registered my application, set up generated Client ID: and Client Secret to my app and tried to log in with Google.
Unfortunately, I got the error message:
Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI in the request: http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/google_oauth2/callback did not match a registered redirect URI
scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
response_type=code
redirect_uri=http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/google_oauth2/callback
access_type=offline
approval_prompt=force
client_id=generated_id
What does mean this message, and how can I fix it?
I use the gem omniauth-google-oauth2.
The redirect URI (where the response is returned to) has to be registered in the APIs console, and the error is indicating that you haven't done that, or haven't done it correctly.
Go to the console for your project and look under API Access. You should see your client ID & client secret there, along with a list of redirect URIs. If the URI you want isn't listed, click edit settings and add the URI to the list.
EDIT: (From a highly rated comment below) Note that updating the google api console and that change being present can take some time. Generally only a few minutes but sometimes it seems longer.
In my case it was www and non-www URL. Actual site had www URL and the Authorized Redirect URIs in Google Developer Console had non-www URL. Hence, there was mismatch in redirect URI. I solved it by updating Authorized Redirect URIs in Google Developer Console to www URL.
Other common URI mismatch are:
Using http:// in Authorized Redirect URIs and https:// as actual URL, or vice-versa
Using trailing slash (http://example.com/) in Authorized Redirect URIs and not using trailing slash (http://example.com) as actual URL, or vice-versa
Here are the step-by-step screenshots of Google Developer Console so that it would be helpful for those who are getting it difficult to locate the developer console page to update redirect URIs.
Go to https://console.developers.google.com
Select your Project
Click on the menu icon
Click on API Manager menu
Click on Credentials menu. And under OAuth 2.0 Client IDs, you will find your client name. In my case, it is Web Client 1. Click on it and a popup will appear where you can edit Authorized Javascript Origin and Authorized redirect URIs.
Note: The Authorized URI includes all localhost links by default, and any live version needs to include the full path, not just the domain, e.g. https://example.com/path/to/oauth/url
Here is a Google article on creating project and client ID.
If you're using Google+ javascript button, then you have to use postmessage instead of the actual URI. It took me almost the whole day to figure this out since Google's docs do not clearly state it for some reason.
In any flow where you retrieved an authorization code on the client side, such as the GoogleAuth.grantOfflineAccess() API, and now you want to pass the code to your server, redeem it, and store the access and refresh tokens, then you have to use the literal string postmessage instead of the redirect_uri.
For example, building on the snippet in the Ruby doc:
client_secrets = Google::APIClient::ClientSecrets.load('client_secrets.json')
auth_client = client_secrets.to_authorization
auth_client.update!(
:scope => 'profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly',
:redirect_uri => 'postmessage' # <---- HERE
)
# Inject user's auth_code here:
auth_client.code = "4/lRCuOXzLMIzqrG4XU9RmWw8k1n3jvUgsI790Hk1s3FI"
tokens = auth_client.fetch_access_token!
# { "access_token"=>..., "expires_in"=>3587, "id_token"=>..., "refresh_token"=>..., "token_type"=>"Bearer"}
The only Google documentation to even mention postmessage is this old Google+ sign-in doc. Here's a screenshot and archive link since G+ is closing and this link will likely go away:
It is absolutely unforgivable that the doc page for Offline Access doesn't mention this. #FacePalm
For my web application i corrected my mistake by writing
instead of : http://localhost:11472/authorize/
type : http://localhost/authorize/
Make sure to check the protocol "http://" or "https://" as google checks protocol as well.
Better to add both URL in the list.
1.you would see an error like this
2.then you should click on request details
after this , you have to copy that url and add this on https://console.cloud.google.com/
go to https://console.cloud.google.com/
click on Menu -> API & Services -> Credentials
you would see a dashboard like this ,click on edit OAuth Client
now in Authorized Javascript Origins and Authorized redirect URLS
add the url that has shown error called redirect_uri_mismatch i.e here it is
http://algorithammer.herokuapp.com , so i have added that in both the places in
Authorized Javascript Origins and Authorized redirect URLS
click on save and wait for 5 min and then try to login again
This seems quite strange and annoying that no "one" solution is there.
for me http://localhost:8000 did not worked out but http://localhost:8000/ worked out.
This answer is same as this Mike's answer, and Jeff's answer, both sets redirect_uri to postmessage on client side. I want to add more about the server side, and also the special circumstance applying to this configuration.
Tech Stack
Backend
Python 3.6
Django 1.11
Django REST Framework 3.9: server as API, not rendering template, not doing much elsewhere.
Django REST Framework JWT 1.11
Django REST Social Auth < 2.1
Frontend
React: 16.8.3, create-react-app version 2.1.5
react-google-login: 5.0.2
The "Code" Flow (Specifically for Google OAuth2)
Summary: React --> request social auth "code" --> request jwt token to acquire "login" status in terms of your own backend server/database.
Frontend (React) uses a "Google sign in button" with responseType="code" to get an authorization code. (it's not token, not access token!)
The google sign in button is from react-google-login mentioned above.
Click on the button will bring up a popup window for user to select account. After user select one and the window closes, you'll get the code from the button's callback function.
Frontend send this to backend server's JWT endpoint.
POST request, with { "provider": "google-oauth2", "code": "your retrieved code here", "redirect_uri": "postmessage" }
For my Django server I use Django REST Framework JWT + Django REST Social Auth. Django receives the code from frontend, verify it with Google's service (done for you). Once verified, it'll send the JWT (the token) back to frontend. Frontend can now harvest the token and store it somewhere.
All of REST_SOCIAL_OAUTH_ABSOLUTE_REDIRECT_URI, REST_SOCIAL_DOMAIN_FROM_ORIGIN and REST_SOCIAL_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI in Django's settings.py are unnecessary. (They are constants used by Django REST Social Auth) In short, you don't have to setup anything related to redirect url in Django. The "redirect_uri": "postmessage" in React frontend suffice. This makes sense because the social auth work you have to do on your side is all Ajax-style POST request in frontend, not submitting any form whatsoever, so actually no redirection occur by default. That's why the redirect url becomes useless if you're using the code + JWT flow, and the server-side redirect url setting is not taking any effect.
The Django REST Social Auth handles account creation. This means it'll check the google account email/last first name, and see if it match any account in database. If not, it'll create one for you, using the exact email & first last name. But, the username will be something like youremailprefix717e248c5b924d60 if your email is youremailprefix#example.com. It appends some random string to make a unique username. This is the default behavior, I believe you can customize it and feel free to dig into their documentation.
The frontend stores that token and when it has to perform CRUD to the backend server, especially create/delete/update, if you attach the token in your Authorization header and send request to backend, Django backend will now recognize that as a login, i.e. authenticated user. Of course, if your token expire, you have to refresh it by making another request.
Oh my goodness, I've spent more than 6 hours and finally got this right! I believe this is the 1st time I saw this postmessage thing. Anyone working on a Django + DRF + JWT + Social Auth + React combination will definitely crash into this. I can't believe none of the article out there mentions this except answers here. But I really hope this post can save you tons of time if you're using the Django + React stack.
In my case, my credential Application type is "Other". So I can't find Authorized redirect URIs in the credentials page. It seems appears in Application type:"Web application". But you can click the Download JSON button to get the client_secret.json file.
Open the json file, and you can find the parameter like this: "redirect_uris":["urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob","http://localhost"]. I choose to use http://localhost and it works fine for me.
When you register your app at https://code.google.com/apis/console and
make a Client ID, you get a chance to specify one or more redirect
URIs. The value of the redirect_uri parameter on your auth URI has to
match one of them exactly.
Checklist:
http or https?
& or &?
trailing slash(/) or open ?
(CMD/CTRL)+F, search for the exact match in the credential page. If
not found then search for the missing one.
Wait until google refreshes it. May happen in each half an hour if you
are changing frequently or it may stay in the pool. For my case it was almost half an hour to take effect.
for me it was because in the 'Authorized redirect URIs' list I've incorrectly put https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ instead of https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground (without / at the end).
The redirect url is case sensitive.
In my case I added both:
http://localhost:5023/AuthCallback/IndexAsync
http://localhost:5023/authcallback/indexasync
If you use this tutorial: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/server-side-flow then you should use "postmessage".
In GO this fixed the problem:
confg = &oauth2.Config{
RedirectURL: "postmessage",
ClientID: ...,
ClientSecret: ...,
Scopes: ...,
Endpoint: google.Endpoint,
}
beware of the extra / at the end of the url
http://localhost:8000 is different from http://localhost:8000/
It has been answered thoroughly but recently (like, a month ago) Google stopped accepting my URI and it would not worked. I know for a fact it did before because there is a user registered with it.
Anyways, the problem was the regular 400: redirect_uri_mismatch but the only difference was that it was changing from https:// to http://, and Google will not allow you to register http:// redirect URI as they are production publishing status (as opposed to localhost).
The problem was in my callback (I use Passport for auth) and I only did
callbackURL: "/register/google/redirect"
Read docs and they used a full URL, so I changed it to
callbackURL: "https://" + process.env.MY_URL+ "/register/google/redirect"
Added https localhost to my accepted URI so I could test locally, and it started working again.
TL;DR use the full URL so you know where you're redirecting
2015 July 15 - the signin that was working last week with this script on login
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js" async defer></script>
stopped working and started causing Error 400 with Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
and in the DETAILS section: redirect_uri=storagerelay://...
i solved it by changing to:
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client:platform.js?onload=startApp"></script>
Rails users (from the omniauth-google-oauth2 docs):
Fixing Protocol Mismatch for redirect_uri in Rails
Just set the full_host in OmniAuth based on the Rails.env.
# config/initializers/omniauth.rb
OmniAuth.config.full_host = Rails.env.production? ? 'https://domain.com' : 'http://localhost:3000'
REMEMBER: Do not include the trailing "/"
None of the above solutions worked for me. below did
change authorised Redirect urls to - https://localhost:44377/signin-google
Hope this helps someone.
My problem was that I had http://localhost:3000/ in the address bar and had http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in the console.developers.google.com
Just make sure that you are entering URL and not just a domain.
So instead of:
domain.com
it should be
domain.com/somePathWhereYouHadleYourRedirect
Anyone struggling to find where to set redirect urls in the new console: APIs & Auth -> Credentials -> OAuth 2.0 client IDs -> Click the link to find all your redirect urls
My two cents:
If using the Google_Client library do not forget to update the JSON file on your server after updating the redirect URI's.
I also get This error Error-400: redirect_uri_mismatch
This is not a server or Client side error but you have to only change by checking that you haven't to added / (forward slash) at the end like this
redirecting URL list ❌:
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
Do this only ✅:
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground
Let me complete #Bazyl's answer: in the message I received, they mentioned the URI
"http://localhost:8080/"
(which of course, seems an internal google configuration). I changed the authorized URI for that one,
"http://localhost:8080/" , and the message didn't appear anymore... And the video got uploaded... The APIS documentation is VERY lame... Every time I have something working with google apis, I simply feel "lucky", but there's a lack of good documentation about it.... :( Yes, I got it working, but I don't yet understand neither why it failed, nor why it worked... There was only ONE place to confirm the URI in the web, and it got copied in the client_secrets.json... I don't get if there's a THIRD place where one should write the same URI... I find nor only the documentation but also the GUI design of Google's api quite lame...
I needed to create a new client ID under APIs & Services -> Credentials -> Create credentials -> OAuth -> Other
Then I downloaded and used the client_secret.json with my command line program that is uploading to my youtube account. I was trying to use a Web App OAuth client ID which was giving me the redirect URI error in browser.
I have frontend app and backend api.
From my backend server I was testing by hitting google api and was facing this error. During my whole time I was wondering of why should I need to give redirect_uri as this is just the backend, for frontend it makes sense.
What I was doing was giving different redirect_uri (though valid) from server (assuming this is just placeholder, it just has only to be registered to google) but my frontend url that created token code was different. So when I was passing this code in my server side testing(for which redirect-uri was different), I was facing this error.
So don't do this mistake. Make sure your frontend redirect_uri is same as your server's as google use it to validate the authenticity.
The main reason for this issue will only come from chrome and chrome handles WWW and non www differently depending on how you entered your URL in the browsers and it searches from google and directly shows the results, so the redirection URL sent is different in a different case
Add all the possible combinations you can find the exact url sent from fiddler , the 400 error pop up will not give you the exact http and www infromation
Try to do these checks:
Bundle ID in console and in your application. I prefer set Bundle ID of application like this "org.peredovik.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}"
Check if you added URL types at tab Info just type your Bundle ID in Identifier and URL Schemes, role set to Editor
In console at cloud.google.com "APIs & auth" -> "Consent screen" fill form about your application. "Product name" is required field.
Enjoy :)
