Google OAuth2 not working on local development server - PHP Codeigniter spark

Question

I am trying to use the Codeigniter spark ( http://getsparks.org/packages/oauth2/versions/HEAD/show ) to allow users to login to my php site with fb and google.

My local dev site (on wampserver) is called mysite.dev, for which I have a etc/hosts file like :

127.0.0.1       mysite.dev

Facebook login works absolutely fine. But when I try logging with google, google complains : Invalid parameter value for redirect_uri: Non-public domains not allowed: http://mysite.dev/index.php/oauth2/session/google where oauth2 is my controller and session is the function where I specify fb/google, etc

any clues/hints?

Answer 1

I got around this by adding a hosts file record for the domain with the dev part at the front rather than the end (which I usually do too):

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.mydomain.com

/etc/apache vhost

ServerName mydomain.com.localhost
ServerAlias localhost.mydomain.com

Then tell google to use:

http://localhost.mydomain.com/index.php/oauth2/session/google

Answer 2

When you create client ID for web applications in Google APIs Console you can add allowed Redirect URIs . It accepts localhost urls and others as well.

Answer 3

Google API 控制台不允许使用“mysite.dev”。

Answer 4

Adding

127.0.0.1 localhost.mydomain.com

to my hosts file and

http://localhost.mydomain.com/oauth2callback

to "Authorized redirect URIs" worked for me

Answer 5

If you only want to run the OAuth process once on your dev site, there is a quick workaround.

Login to your Google Cloud Console, visit APIs & Services⁩ ▸ Credentials ⁩ ▸ OAuth 2.0 Client IDs ⁩ ▸ Authorised Redirect URIs and a New URI with the following value:

http://localhost/index.php/oauth2/session/google

Then navigate to your dev site using localhost rather than mysite.dev as the domain. Go through the OAuth process on localhost. Google should now accept your return URI. Once successfully authorised, you can go back to using mysite.dev.
