Thought I would try Connect 5.0 this morning. Installed as CB Plugin, and configured for Google API no problems.

for Redirect URIs I used www.example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbconnect&action=google&func=accesstoken&format=raw

and substituting correct URL in place of example.com.

I have plugin set to NOT allow registration, but I did want to use linking. I logged into my website with appropriate site credentials. And after login, I clicked on the "G link" in CB Login module and I entered my Google Gmail Credentials. I logged out of website. And then tried to login just using the "G Link" button instead of username/password boxes.

But then got the following error:

Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI in the request: example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbconnect&action=google&func=accesstoken&format=raw did not match a registered redirect URI

So I changed the Redirect URI in Google API to be example.com instead of www.example.com

And then I was able to login to my website by clicking on the using the G Link instead of entering username and password.

---- but then ....

I tried using a different browser, and when the G Link did not work unless I had already logged into Gmail from that browser.

So it is working - sort of, but may cause more confusion that it is worth. Am I missing anything?

Is this how it works with Facebook and others - i.e. you must be logged into Facebook in the same browser before the CB Connect link works?

Thanks,
Tom

All the connect sites use strict domain matching. There is no workaround that I can implement for this. You need to ensure the domain you set in your applications is the exact domain your site uses. So if you configure it for www.example.com and someone browses to example.com then it will not work. You can enforce www.example.com usually with a redirect configured in your hosting panel (if your host supplies such a feature) or an htaccess redirect.

What browser you use shouldn't matter and you do not need to login to the connect site first as it'll ask you to login in the popup if you're not already logged in.

For future reference everyone please use the support forums for support topics as this is a news discussion and not a support topic. Not using the support forums may result in your support post being missed.

No.

There's several Joomla modules, authentication plugins, etc.. at Joomla.org on the JED that can provide OpenID specifically.

Hi,

i'm sorry but i've been searching a long time and haven't been able to find Openid authentification for Joomla 2.5 and 3.1

isn't it possible to add it on CB Connect ?

Thanks !
