I added Google OAuth2
to my website. I noticed that when the website was opened in a embedded browser (web view), redirecting to google auth page (see the link below) will fail with error:
"403 disallowed_useragent".
Here is the link:
I get that Google no longer allows OAuth
requests to Google in web view. But here is the strange thing. The google sign in demo
developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/sign-in work fine when opened in web view. I managed to find the client_id
and redirect_uri
used in the demo and replace them into the my google auth link (see the updated link below), the updated link can now magically open in web view.
Notice that I changed only client_id
and redirect_url
and nothing else. Later I found more client_ids
that also works with webview. I am wondering is there any specific settings for these client_ids to work?
Also I want to know what's the recommended fix to:
"403 disallowed_useragent"?
My website has no native app. And most likely, people will just open the website they received on online chat in a webview. I'd like to avoid showing the :
"403 disallowed_useragent"
error when they click *sign-in by Google*
.
