Google

The Google connector provides a succinct way for your application to use Google’s OAuth 2.0 authentication system.

Set up a project in the Google API Console

• Visit the Google API Console and sign in with your Google account.
• Click the Select a project button on the top menu bar, and click the New Project button to create a project.
• In your newly created project, click the APIs & Services to enter the APIs & Services menu.

Configure your consent screen

Configure and register your application

• On the left APIs & Services menu, click the OAuth consent screen button.
• Choose the User Type you want, and click the Create button. (Note: If you select External as your User Type, you will need to add test users later.)

Now you will be on the Edit app registration page.

Edit app registration

Config OAuth consent screen

• Follow the instructions to fill out the OAuth consent screen form.
• Click SAVE AND CONTINUE to continue.

Config scopes

• Click ADD OR REMOVE SCOPES and select ../auth/userinfo.email, ../auth/userinfo.profile and openid in the popup drawer, and click UPDATE to finish.
• Fill out the form as you need.
• Click SAVE AND CONTINUE to continue.

Add test users (External user type only)

• Click ADD USERS and add test users to allow these users to access your application while testing.
• Click SAVE AND CONTINUE to continue.

Now you should have the Google OAuth 2.0 consent screen configured.

Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials

• On the left APIs & Services menu, click the Credentials button.
• On the Credentials page, click the + CREATE CREDENTIALS button on the top menu bar, and select OAuth client ID.
• On the Create OAuth client ID page, select Web application as the application type.
• Fill out the basic information for your application.
• Click + Add URI to add an authorized domain to the Authorized JavaScript origins section. This is the domain that your logto authorization page will be served from. In our case, this will be ${your_logto_origin}. e.g.https://logto.dev.
• Click + Add URI in the Authorized redirect URIs section to set up the Authorized redirect URIs, which redirect the user to the application after logging in. In our case, this will be ${your_logto_origin}/callback/google-universal. e.g. https://logto.dev/callback/google-universal.
• Click Create to finish and then you will get the Client ID and Client Secret.
