Vinculación optimizada con OAuth y Acceso con Google

Descripción general

La vinculación optimizada del Acceso con Google basado en OAuth agrega el Acceso con Google por encima de Vinculación de OAuth. Esto proporciona una experiencia de vinculación fluida para a los usuarios de Google y, además, habilita la creación de cuentas, que les permite crear una cuenta nueva en tu servicio con su Cuenta de Google.

Para vincular las cuentas con OAuth y el Acceso con Google, sigue estas indicaciones generales pasos:

  1. En primer lugar, solicita al usuario que dé su consentimiento para acceder a su perfil de Google.
  2. Usa la información de su perfil para comprobar si existe la cuenta de usuario.
  3. Para los usuarios existentes, vincula las cuentas.
  4. Si no encuentras una coincidencia para el usuario de Google en tu sistema de autenticación, validar el token de ID que se recibió de Google. Luego, puedes crear un usuario basado en en la información de perfil que se encuentra en el token de ID.
En esta figura, se muestran los pasos para que un usuario vincule su Cuenta de Google con el flujo de vinculación optimizado. La primera captura de pantalla muestra cómo un usuario puede seleccionar tu app para vincularla. La segunda captura de pantalla le permite al usuario confirmar si tiene una cuenta existente en tu servicio. La tercera captura de pantalla le permite al usuario seleccionar la Cuenta de Google con la que desea vincularse. La cuarta captura de pantalla muestra la confirmación para vincular su Cuenta de Google con tu app. En la quinta captura de pantalla, se muestra una cuenta de usuario vinculada correctamente en la app de Google.

Requisitos para una vinculación optimizada

Implementa tu servidor de OAuth

El extremo de intercambio de tokens debe admitir los intents check, create y get. A continuación, se muestran los pasos completados a través del flujo de vinculación de cuentas y se indica cuándo se llama a los diferentes intents:

  1. ¿El usuario tiene una cuenta en tu sistema de autenticación? (El usuario decide si selecciona SÍ o NO)
    1. SÍ: ¿El usuario usa el correo electrónico asociado a su Cuenta de Google para acceder a tu plataforma? (El usuario decide si selecciona SÍ o NO)
      1. SÍ: ¿El usuario tiene una cuenta que coincida en tu sistema de autenticación? (Se llama a check intent para confirmar).
        1. SÍ : Se llama a get intent y se vincula la cuenta si se muestra correctamente el intent GET.
        2. NO, ¿crear una cuenta nueva? (El usuario decide si selecciona SÍ o NO)
          1. SÍ : Si se muestra correctamente el intent de creación, se llama a create intent y se vincula la cuenta.
          2. NO : Se activa el flujo de OAuth web, se dirige al usuario a su navegador y el usuario tiene la opción de vincularse con un correo electrónico diferente.
      2. NO : Se activa el flujo de OAuth web, se dirige al usuario a su navegador y se le ofrece la opción de vincular con un correo electrónico diferente.
    2. NO: ¿El usuario tiene una cuenta que coincida en tu sistema de autenticación? (Se llama a check intent para confirmar).
      1. SÍ : Se llama a get intent y se vincula la cuenta si se muestra correctamente el intent GET.
      2. NO : Se llama a create intent y se vincula la cuenta si se muestra correctamente el intent de creación.

Cómo comprobar si hay una cuenta de usuario existente (verificar intención)

Una vez que el usuario da su consentimiento para acceder a su perfil de Google, Google envía un solicitud que incluya una aserción firmada de la identidad del usuario de Google. El contiene información que incluye el ID de la Cuenta de Google del usuario, y tu dirección de correo electrónico. El extremo de intercambio de tokens configurado para tu el proyecto se encargará de esa solicitud.

Si la Cuenta de Google correspondiente ya está presente en tu autenticación de intercambio de tokens, tu extremo de intercambio de tokens responde con account_found=true. Si el botón La Cuenta de Google no coincide con un usuario existente, tu extremo de intercambio de token muestra un error HTTP 404 No encontrado con account_found=false.

La solicitud tiene el siguiente formato:

POST /token HTTP/1.1
Host: oauth2.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer&intent=check&assertion=JWT&scope=SCOPES&client_id=GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

El extremo de intercambio de tokens debe ser capaz de controlar los siguientes parámetros:

Parámetros de extremo del token
intent Para estas solicitudes, el valor de este parámetro es check
grant_type El tipo de token que se intercambia. Para estas solicitudes, este tiene el valor urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer.
assertion Un token web JSON (JWT) que proporciona una aserción firmada del token de Google la identidad del usuario. El JWT contiene información que incluye los datos ID, nombre y dirección de correo electrónico de la Cuenta de Google.
client_id El ID de cliente que le asignaste a Google
client_secret El secreto de cliente que asignaste a Google.

Para responder a las solicitudes de intent check, el extremo de intercambio de tokens debe realizar los siguientes pasos:

  • Valida y decodifica la aserción de JWT.
  • Verifica si la Cuenta de Google ya está presente en tu sistema de autenticación.
Validate and decode the JWT assertion

You can validate and decode the JWT assertion by using a JWT-decoding library for your language. Use Google's public keys, available in JWK or PEM formats, to verify the token's signature.

When decoded, the JWT assertion looks like the following example:

{
  "sub": "1234567890",      // The unique ID of the user's Google Account
  "iss": "https://accounts.google.com",        // The assertion's issuer
  "aud": "123-abc.apps.googleusercontent.com", // Your server's client ID
  "iat": 233366400,         // Unix timestamp of the assertion's creation time
  "exp": 233370000,         // Unix timestamp of the assertion's expiration time
  "name": "Jan Jansen",
  "given_name": "Jan",
  "family_name": "Jansen",
  "email": "jan@gmail.com", // If present, the user's email address
  "email_verified": true,   // true, if Google has verified the email address
  "hd": "example.com",      // If present, the host domain of the user's GSuite email address
                            // If present, a URL to user's profile picture
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AOh14GjlTnZKHAeb94A-FmEbwZv7uJD986VOF1mJGb2YYQ",
  "locale": "en_US"         // User's locale, from browser or phone settings
}

In addition to verifying the token's signature, verify that the assertion's issuer (iss field) is https://accounts.google.com, that the audience (aud field) is your assigned client ID, and that the token has not expired (exp field).

Using the email, email_verified and hd fields you can determine if Google hosts and is authoritative for an email address. In cases where Google is authoritative the user is currently known to be the legitimate account owner and you may skip password or other challenges methods. Otherwise, these methods can be used to verify the account prior to linking.

Cases where Google is authoritative:

  • email has a @gmail.com suffix, this is a Gmail account.
  • email_verified is true and hd is set, this is a G Suite account.

Users may register for Google Accounts without using Gmail or G Suite. When email does not contain a @gmail.com suffix and hd is absent Google is not authoritative and password or other challenge methods are recommended to verify the user. email_verified can also be true as Google initially verified the user when the Google account was created, however ownership of the third party email account may have since changed.

Verifica si la Cuenta de Google ya está presente en tu sistema de autenticación

Verifica si se cumple alguna de las siguientes condiciones:

  • El ID de la Cuenta de Google, que se encuentra en el campo sub de la aserción, está en tu usuario en la base de datos.
  • La dirección de correo electrónico en la aserción coincide con un usuario de tu base de datos de usuarios.

Si se cumple alguna de estas condiciones, el usuario ya se registró. En ese caso, devolver una respuesta como la siguiente:

HTTP/1.1 200 Success
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

{
  "account_found":"true",
}

Si no se especifica el ID de la Cuenta de Google ni la dirección de correo electrónico coincide con un usuario de tu base de datos, el usuario aún no se registró. En en este caso, el extremo de intercambio de tokens debe responder con un error HTTP 404 que especifique "account_found": "false", como en el siguiente ejemplo:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not found
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

{
  "account_found":"false",
}

Handle automatic linking (get intent)

After the user gives consent to access their Google profile, Google sends a request that contains a signed assertion of the Google user's identity. The assertion contains information that includes the user's Google Account ID, name, and email address. The token exchange endpoint configured for your project handles that request.

If the corresponding Google Account is already present in your authentication system, your token exchange endpoint returns a token for the user. If the Google Account doesn't match an existing user, your token exchange endpoint returns a linking_error error and optional login_hint.

The request has the following form:

POST /token HTTP/1.1
Host: oauth2.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer&intent=get&assertion=JWT&scope=SCOPES&client_id=GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

Your token exchange endpoint must be able to handle the following parameters:

Token endpoint parameters
intent For these requests, the value of this parameter is get.
grant_type The type of token being exchanged. For these requests, this parameter has the value urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer.
assertion A JSON Web Token (JWT) that provides a signed assertion of the Google user's identity. The JWT contains information that includes the user's Google Account ID, name, and email address.
scope Optional: Any scopes that you've configured Google to request from users.
client_id The client ID you assigned to Google.
client_secret The client secret you assigned to Google.

To respond to the get intent requests, your token exchange endpoint must perform the following steps:

  • Validate and decode the JWT assertion.
  • Check if the Google account is already present in your authentication system.
Validate and decode the JWT assertion

You can validate and decode the JWT assertion by using a JWT-decoding library for your language. Use Google's public keys, available in JWK or PEM formats, to verify the token's signature.

When decoded, the JWT assertion looks like the following example:

{
  "sub": "1234567890",      // The unique ID of the user's Google Account
  "iss": "https://accounts.google.com",        // The assertion's issuer
  "aud": "123-abc.apps.googleusercontent.com", // Your server's client ID
  "iat": 233366400,         // Unix timestamp of the assertion's creation time
  "exp": 233370000,         // Unix timestamp of the assertion's expiration time
  "name": "Jan Jansen",
  "given_name": "Jan",
  "family_name": "Jansen",
  "email": "jan@gmail.com", // If present, the user's email address
  "email_verified": true,   // true, if Google has verified the email address
  "hd": "example.com",      // If present, the host domain of the user's GSuite email address
                            // If present, a URL to user's profile picture
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AOh14GjlTnZKHAeb94A-FmEbwZv7uJD986VOF1mJGb2YYQ",
  "locale": "en_US"         // User's locale, from browser or phone settings
}

In addition to verifying the token's signature, verify that the assertion's issuer (iss field) is https://accounts.google.com, that the audience (aud field) is your assigned client ID, and that the token has not expired (exp field).

Using the email, email_verified and hd fields you can determine if Google hosts and is authoritative for an email address. In cases where Google is authoritative the user is currently known to be the legitimate account owner and you may skip password or other challenges methods. Otherwise, these methods can be used to verify the account prior to linking.

Cases where Google is authoritative:

  • email has a @gmail.com suffix, this is a Gmail account.
  • email_verified is true and hd is set, this is a G Suite account.

Users may register for Google Accounts without using Gmail or G Suite. When email does not contain a @gmail.com suffix and hd is absent Google is not authoritative and password or other challenge methods are recommended to verify the user. email_verified can also be true as Google initially verified the user when the Google account was created, however ownership of the third party email account may have since changed.

Check if the Google account is already present in your authentication system

Check whether either of the following conditions are true:

  • The Google Account ID, found in the assertion's sub field, is in your user database.
  • The email address in the assertion matches a user in your user database.

If an account is found for the user, issue an access token and return the values in a JSON object in the body of your HTTPS response, like in the following example:

{
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "access_token": "ACCESS_TOKEN",

  "expires_in": SECONDS_TO_EXPIRATION
}

In some cases, account linking based on ID token might fail for the user. If it does so for any reason, your token exchange endpoint needs to reply with a HTTP 401 error that specifies error=linking_error, as the following example shows:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

{
  "error":"linking_error",
  "login_hint":"foo@bar.com"
}

When Google receives a 401 error response with linking_error, Google sends the user to your authorization endpoint with login_hint as a parameter. The user completes account linking using the OAuth linking flow in their browser.

Handle account creation via Google Sign-In (create intent)

When a user needs to create an account on your service, Google makes a request to your token exchange endpoint that specifies intent=create.

The request has the following form:

POST /token HTTP/1.1
Host: oauth2.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

response_type=token&grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer&scope=SCOPES&intent=create&assertion=JWT&client_id=GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

Your token exchange endpoint must able to handle the following parameters:

Token endpoint parameters
intent For these requests, the value of this parameter is create.
grant_type The type of token being exchanged. For these requests, this parameter has the value urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer.
assertion A JSON Web Token (JWT) that provides a signed assertion of the Google user's identity. The JWT contains information that includes the user's Google Account ID, name, and email address.
client_id The client ID you assigned to Google.
client_secret The client secret you assigned to Google.

The JWT within the assertion parameter contains the user's Google Account ID, name, and email address, which you can use to create a new account on your service.

To respond to the create intent requests, your token exchange endpoint must perform the following steps:

  • Validate and decode the JWT assertion.
  • Validate user information and create new account.
Validate and decode the JWT assertion

You can validate and decode the JWT assertion by using a JWT-decoding library for your language. Use Google's public keys, available in JWK or PEM formats, to verify the token's signature.

When decoded, the JWT assertion looks like the following example:

{
  "sub": "1234567890",      // The unique ID of the user's Google Account
  "iss": "https://accounts.google.com",        // The assertion's issuer
  "aud": "123-abc.apps.googleusercontent.com", // Your server's client ID
  "iat": 233366400,         // Unix timestamp of the assertion's creation time
  "exp": 233370000,         // Unix timestamp of the assertion's expiration time
  "name": "Jan Jansen",
  "given_name": "Jan",
  "family_name": "Jansen",
  "email": "jan@gmail.com", // If present, the user's email address
  "email_verified": true,   // true, if Google has verified the email address
  "hd": "example.com",      // If present, the host domain of the user's GSuite email address
                            // If present, a URL to user's profile picture
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AOh14GjlTnZKHAeb94A-FmEbwZv7uJD986VOF1mJGb2YYQ",
  "locale": "en_US"         // User's locale, from browser or phone settings
}

In addition to verifying the token's signature, verify that the assertion's issuer (iss field) is https://accounts.google.com, that the audience (aud field) is your assigned client ID, and that the token has not expired (exp field).

Using the email, email_verified and hd fields you can determine if Google hosts and is authoritative for an email address. In cases where Google is authoritative the user is currently known to be the legitimate account owner and you may skip password or other challenges methods. Otherwise, these methods can be used to verify the account prior to linking.

Cases where Google is authoritative:

  • email has a @gmail.com suffix, this is a Gmail account.
  • email_verified is true and hd is set, this is a G Suite account.

Users may register for Google Accounts without using Gmail or G Suite. When email does not contain a @gmail.com suffix and hd is absent Google is not authoritative and password or other challenge methods are recommended to verify the user. email_verified can also be true as Google initially verified the user when the Google account was created, however ownership of the third party email account may have since changed.

Validate user information and create new account

Check whether either of the following conditions are true:

  • The Google Account ID, found in the assertion's sub field, is in your user database.
  • The email address in the assertion matches a user in your user database.

If either condition is true, prompt the user to link their existing account with their Google Account. To do so, respond to the request with an HTTP 401 error that specifies error=linking_error and gives the user's email address as the login_hint. The following is a sample response:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

{
  "error":"linking_error",
  "login_hint":"foo@bar.com"
}

When Google receives a 401 error response with linking_error, Google sends the user to your authorization endpoint with login_hint as a parameter. The user completes account linking using the OAuth linking flow in their browser.

If neither condition is true, create a new user account with the information provided in the JWT. New accounts don't typically have a password set. It's recommended that you add Google Sign-In to other platforms to enable users to log in with Google across the surfaces of your application. Alternatively, you can email the user a link that starts your password recovery flow to allow the user to set a password to sign in on other platforms.

When the creation is completed, issue an access token and return the values in a JSON object in the body of your HTTPS response, like in the following example:

{
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "access_token": "ACCESS_TOKEN",

  "expires_in": SECONDS_TO_EXPIRATION
}

Obtén tu ID de cliente de la API de Google

Tendrá que proporcionar su ID de cliente de la API de Google durante el proceso de registro de la vinculación de cuentas.

Para obtener tu ID de cliente de API con el proyecto que creaste mientras completaste los pasos de la Vinculación con OAuth. Para ello, completa los siguientes pasos:

  1. Abre la página Credenciales de la Consola de APIs de Google.
  2. Crea o selecciona un proyecto de las APIs de Google.

    Si tu proyecto no tiene un ID de cliente para el tipo de aplicación web, haz clic en Crear credenciales > ID de cliente de OAuth para crear uno. Asegúrate de incluir el dominio de tu sitio en el cuadro Orígenes autorizados de JavaScript. Cuando realizas para pruebas o desarrollo locales, debes agregar http://localhost y http://localhost:<port_number> al campo Orígenes autorizados de JavaScript.

Cómo validar la implementación

You can validate your implementation by using the OAuth 2.0 Playground tool.

In the tool, do the following steps:

  1. Click Configuration to open the OAuth 2.0 Configuration window.
  2. In the OAuth flow field, select Client-side.
  3. In the OAuth Endpoints field, select Custom.
  4. Specify your OAuth 2.0 endpoint and the client ID you assigned to Google in the corresponding fields.
  5. In the Step 1 section, don't select any Google scopes. Instead, leave this field blank or type a scope valid for your server (or an arbitrary string if you don't use OAuth scopes). When you're done, click Authorize APIs.
  6. In the Step 2 and Step 3 sections, go through the OAuth 2.0 flow and verify that each step works as intended.

You can validate your implementation by using the Google Account Linking Demo tool.

In the tool, do the following steps:

  1. Click the Sign-in with Google button.
  2. Choose the account you'd like to link.
  3. Enter the service ID.
  4. Optionally enter one or more scopes that you will request access for.
  5. Click Start Demo.
  6. When prompted, confirm that you may consent and deny the linking request.
  7. Confirm that you are redirected to your platform.
