Google Federated OAuth/OpenID with Tornado: why is it ignoring my scopes?

866 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to use Tornado's library for federated login to authenticate users and get access to their calendar, contacts, and mail. However, when I get the "mydomain.dyndns.info is asking for some information from your Google Account" message, the only bullet point listed is "Email Address". Subsequently, when I check the returned user object after I approve the request, the user object doesn't have an 'access_token' property.

Here's the code:

def get(self):
    scope_list = ['https://mail.google.com/','http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/','http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/']
    ...
    self.authorize_redirect(scope_list, callback_uri=self._switch_command('auth_callback'), ax_attrs=["name","email"])
def _on_auth(self, user):
    print 'in on auth'
    if user:
        self.set_the_user(user['email'])
        session.set_data('usertoken_' + user['email'], user['access_token'])
    self.redirect('/')

The uri that this spits out is:

https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud
?openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0
&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select
&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select
&openid.return_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.dyndns.info%3A333%2Fauth%2Fauth_callback%3Fperms%3Dgmail%26perms%3Dcontacts%26perms%3Dcalendar
&openid.realm=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.dyndns.info%3A333%2F
&openid.mode=checkid_setup
&openid.ns.oauth=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Foauth%2F1.0
&openid.oauth.consumer=mydomain.dyndns.info
&openid.oauth.scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2F+http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fm8%2Ffeeds%2F+http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcalendar%2Ffeeds%2F
&openid.ns.ax=http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fsrv%2Fax%2F1.0
&openid.ax.type.fullname=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2FnamePerson
&openid.ax.type.lastname=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2FnamePerson%2Flast
&openid.ax.type.firstname=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2FnamePerson%2Ffirst
&openid.ax.mode=fetch_request
&openid.ax.type.email=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2Fcontact%2Femail
&openid.ax.required=firstname%2Cfullname%2Clastname%2Cemail

Ideas: 1. maybe this has something to do with the fact I'm running on a local machine behind a dyndns forwarder? 2. Tornado's documentation says "No application registration is necessary to use Google for authentication or to access Google resources on behalf of a user" -- but maybe that's not true anymore?

If anyone has thoughts, I'd really appreciate it -- this is driving me a little batty!

Figured it out. You have to set the application properties google_consumer_key and google_consumer_secret.

application = tornado.web.Application(urlhandlers, cookie_secret=cookie_secret, google_consumer_key=google_consumer_key, google_consumer_secret=google_consumer_secret)
