Google OAuth Implementation for ASP.

NET Core

1. Create a Project on Google Cloud Platform

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/).

2. Create a new project or select an existing one.

3. Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials.

4. Click Create Credentials and choose OAuth 2.0 Client IDs.

- Set the application type to Web application.

- Add the following:

- Authorized redirect URIs: https://localhost:5001/signin-google

- Authorized JavaScript origins: https://localhost:5001

5. Note the Client ID and Client Secret.

2. Add ASP.NET Core Authentication Middleware

Add the necessary NuGet package:

dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google

3. Configure Google Authentication

In the appsettings.json file, store the Client ID and Secret securely:

"Authentication": {

"Google": {

"ClientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",

"ClientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"

}

Alternatively, use environment variables for sensitive data.

4. Configure Authentication in Startup

In Program.cs (or Startup.cs for older versions), configure authentication:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(options =>

options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;

options.DefaultSignInScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;

options.DefaultChallengeScheme = GoogleDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;

})

.AddCookie()

.AddGoogle(options =>

options.ClientId = builder.Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientId"];

options.ClientSecret = builder.Configuration["Authentication:Google:ClientSecret"];

});

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication();

app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapControllers();

app.Run();

5. Protect Routes with Authentication

For routes requiring authentication, decorate controllers or actions with [Authorize]:

[Authorize]

public IActionResult SecurePage()

return View();

6. Add Login and Logout

In your Razor pages or controllers, use authentication endpoints for login and logout:

Login:

public IActionResult Login()

return Challenge(new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = "/" }, GoogleDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

}

Logout:

public IActionResult Logout()

return SignOut(new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = "/" },

CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

7. Run and Test the Application

1. Start the application.

2. Access the login endpoint, e.g., https://localhost:5001/login.

3. Google will prompt for authentication and redirect back to the application.
