I managed to do this using GooglePlus, haven't tried Google. Here's what I did:
Install the nugets:
> Install-Package Owin.Security.Providers
> Install-Package Google.Apis.Youtube.v3
Add this to Startup.auth.cs:
var g = new GooglePlusAuthenticationOptions();
g.ClientId = Constants.GoogleClientId;
g.ClientSecret = Constants.GoogleClientSecret;
g.RequestOfflineAccess = true; // for refresh token
g.Provider = new GooglePlusAuthenticationProvider
{
OnAuthenticated = context =>
{
context.Identity.AddClaim(new Claim(Constants.GoogleAccessToken, context.AccessToken));
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(context.RefreshToken))
{
context.Identity.AddClaim(new Claim(Constants.GoogleRefreshToken, context.RefreshToken));
}
return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
}
};
g.Scope.Add(Google.Apis.YouTube.v3.YouTubeService.Scope.YoutubeReadonly);
g.SignInAsAuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie;
app.UseGooglePlusAuthentication(g);
The above code does two things:
- Enable authentication via. Google+
- Requests for the access token and the refresh token. The tokens are then added as a claim in the GooglePlus middleware.
Create a method that will store the claims containing the token to the database. I have this in the AccountController.cs file
private async Task StoreGooglePlusAuthToken(ApplicationUser user)
{
var claimsIdentity = await AuthenticationManager.GetExternalIdentityAsync(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);
if (claimsIdentity != null)
{
// Retrieve the existing claims for the user and add the google plus access token
var currentClaims = await UserManager.GetClaimsAsync(user.Id);
var ci = claimsIdentity.FindAll(Constants.GoogleAccessToken);
if (ci != null && ci.Count() != 0)
{
var accessToken = ci.First();
if (currentClaims.Count() <= 0)
{
await UserManager.AddClaimAsync(user.Id, accessToken);
}
}
ci = claimsIdentity.FindAll(Constants.GoogleRefreshToken);
if (ci != null && ci.Count() != 0)
{
var refreshToken = ci.First();
if (currentClaims.Count() <= 1)
{
await UserManager.AddClaimAsync(user.Id, refreshToken);
}
}
}
You'll need to call it in 2 places in the AccountController.cs: Once in ExternalLoginCallback:
case SignInStatus.Success:
var currentUser = await UserManager.FindAsync(loginInfo.Login);
if (currentUser != null)
{
await StoreGooglePlusAuthToken(currentUser);
}
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
and once in ExternalLoginConfirmation:
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
result = await UserManager.AddLoginAsync(user.Id, info.Login);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await StoreGooglePlusAuthToken(user);
await SignInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false, rememberBrowser: false);
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
}
}
Now that we've got the users access token and refresh token we can use this to authenticate the user.
I tried a simple search I saw in the examples and it worked:
private async Task<Models.YouTubeViewModel> Search(string searchTerm)
{
var user = (ClaimsPrincipal)Thread.CurrentPrincipal;
var at = user.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == Constants.GoogleAccessToken);
var rt = user.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == Constants.GoogleRefreshToken);
if (at == null || rt == null)
throw new HttpUnhandledException("Access / Refresh Token missing");
TokenResponse token = new TokenResponse
{
AccessToken = at.Value,
RefreshToken = rt.Value
};
var cred = new UserCredential(new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow(
new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Initializer()
{
ClientSecrets = new ClientSecrets()
{
ClientId = Constants.GoogleClientId,
ClientSecret = Constants.GoogleClientSecret
}
}
),
User.Identity.GetApplicationUser().UserName,
token
);
var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
ApplicationName = this.GetType().ToString(),
HttpClientInitializer = cred,
});
var searchListRequest = youtubeService.Search.List("snippet");
searchListRequest.Q = searchTerm;
searchListRequest.MaxResults = 50;
// Call the search.list method to retrieve results matching the specified query term.
var searchListResponse = await searchListRequest.ExecuteAsync();
Models.YouTubeViewModel vm = new Models.YouTubeViewModel(searchTerm);
foreach (var searchResult in searchListResponse.Items)
{
switch (searchResult.Id.Kind)
{
case "youtube#video":
vm.Videos.Add(new Models.Result(searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.VideoId));
break;
case "youtube#channel":
vm.Channels.Add(new Models.Result(searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.ChannelId));
break;
case "youtube#playlist":
vm.Playlists.Add(new Models.Result(searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.PlaylistId));
break;
}
}
return vm;
}
Model Classes
public class Result
{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Id { get; set; }
public Result() { }
public Result(string title, string id)
{
this.Title = title;
this.Id = id;
}
}
public class YouTubeViewModel
{
public string SearchTerm { get; set; }
public List<Result> Videos { get; set; }
public List<Result> Playlists { get; set; }
public List<Result> Channels { get; set; }
public YouTubeViewModel()
{
Videos = new List<Result>();
Playlists = new List<Result>();
Channels = new List<Result>();
}
public YouTubeViewModel(string searchTerm)
:this()
{
SearchTerm = searchTerm;
}
}
