Google?

[drewlesueur]

Will Google be added to the list anytime soon?
or has somebody got this working with Google authentication?

Would love to do this, haven't got the time at the mo, but I could give someone pointers if they wanted to help work on a strategy contribution?

I've wrote an authentication strategy for Google. I hope this is useful. https://github.com/masahiroh/connect-auth/commit/1e5472b76ab76e894f382bfe40f9644be190454e

Awesome, I will check it out.

Hiyah, thanks for this I've pulled the changes in, I think its a good stepping stone towards Google SSO support, but the real solution I think requires OpenID support (which there are at least 2 node modules being written to provide.) When this comes along the authentication flow with google will be a lot tidier..with the OAuth approach we will keep getting prompted, which is a bit yukky atm :(

[mhayashi]

Indeed. I've added Google OAuth because I want to use Data API, but OpenID support is required for SSO. I don't know much about the OpenID's specification, but I'll give it a try:)

Has anyone made any progress with this? There's what seems to be a fairly complete openid library here.

I've not tried it myself, might be interesting now with G+ around.

There are now at least 2 different google SSO strategies provided, and a separate OpenId strategy :)
