Publisher review:Account Authentication Proxy for Web-Based allows an application to access a Google service protected by a user's Google account. Google Accounts authentication for web-based applications allows an application to access a Google service protected by a user's Google account.
To maintain a high level of security, the Authentication Proxy interface, AuthSub, enables the application to get an authentication token without ever handling the user's account login information. Using the proxy, the user of the web application logs into their account through a Google-supplied login page and consents to grant limited access to the web application.
The authentication process flows as follows: - When the web application needs to access the user's Google service data, it makes an AuthSub call to the Google Accounts URL.
- Google Accounts responds with an "Access Consent" page. This page prompts the user to log into their Google Account and grant/deny access to their Google service.
- The user logs into their Google account and decides whether to grant or deny access to the web application. If the user denies access, they are directed to a Google page rather than back to the web application.
- If the user successfully logs in and grants access, Google Accounts redirects the user back to the web application URL. The redirect contains an authentication token good for one use; it can be exchanged for a long-lived token.
- The web application contacts the Google service, using the authentication token to act as an agent for the user.
- If the Google service recognizes the token, it will supply the requested data.
