Is there a way to have the redirection callback from Google SSO made as a POST request instead of a GET request, that way all the parameters would be encoded in the body.
Microsoft allows it by changing the response_body parameter when creating the flow.

I am trying to integrate Quickbooks online with Mule. So far, I can complete the OAuth dance and retrieve the access token via the HTTP connector using the authorization code configuration.
The steps followed include:
COnfiguring the HTTP Request connector for OAuth dance which includes
Added authorization, callback URL, token URL, and client credentials
Configured payload for saving the access and refresh tokens
To trigger the oauth flow , I hit the authorize URL which in return gives me the realmId and authorization code
To make subsequent requests to the APIs using the extracted token I need the realm ID as well but I am not able to extract that.
The realmId is returned in the initial call along with the authorization code in the payload but when the process happens through mulesoft, there is no way to capture it and without the realmId I cannot make requests to the API.
Following is the XML configuration for HTTP:
<http:request-config name="HTTP_Request_configuration" doc:name="HTTP Request configuration" doc:id="36a1c561-9498-4dbf-b323-5c726b20cb6a" >
<http:request-connection protocol="HTTPS" host="sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com" port="443">
<http:authentication >
<oauth:authorization-code-grant-type externalCallbackUrl="http://localhost:8082/callback" localAuthorizationUrl="https://localhost:8082/login" authorizationUrl="https://appcenter.intuit.com/connect/oauth2" clientId="ABNxxKq4xy1KWs1BteaIIAhY3NC7G5jg9YZg3h15Zf3waDdEja" clientSecret="5k5GxV3HIBtM7DRSQOqlBqtjWfg07tFNAFeW9EeJ" tokenUrl="https://oauth.platform.intuit.com/oauth2/v1/tokens/bearer" localCallbackUrl="http://localhost:8082/callback" state="abc" scopes="com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting">
<oauth:custom-parameter-extractors >
</oauth:custom-parameter-extractors>
</oauth:authorization-code-grant-type>
</http:authentication>
</http:request-connection>
</http:request-config>
I need a way to extract the realmId and set it dynamically instead of hardcoding.
[This is the first request which gets the auth code and realmId before token exchange][2]
This is how realmId will be used in subsequent requests after token exchange
It is to be noted that I am not manually saving and reusing any variables, it is all happening as part of the Mulesoft HTTP connector oauth config

I'm currently developing an App using Microsoft LIVE 2.0 API
Currently, I’m using these URLs as my authentication endpoints:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
However, when I sent the request to the token endpoint with the redirect URL as
https://blabla.com/accept_token.php?api_ver=wave5&csrf=AY7F6O4hF0n8yW3i2O_y6N-ky7zzfULiYV_fttLK1S3JgaeQz2GTk9FOeIGBBH5CvkfkEYCyPOCQCujcrij4KDy2wAMZyXqx24jvwZRtzOv0s9ADGYl1iFtvYtkmgeFmZEY&appdata=%7B%22use_case%22%3A1%2C%22type%22%3A1%2C%22flow%22%3A2%2C%22domain_id%22%3A12%2C%22tracked_params%22%3A%22%5B%5D%22%7D
I got errors saying the reply address does not match the reply addresses configured for the application
For the application, I set the reply address to be https://blabla.com/accept_token.php.
Is it possible that I add some parameters to the url and still make it match?
I'm pretty sure the reply url you send must match exactly the reply url registered on the application, including any query strings.
If there is variable state informaiton you need passed throughout the authentication process, you should use the state variable.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-v2-protocols-oauth-code
state
A value included in the request that will also be returned in the token response. It can be a string of any content that you wish. A randomly generated unique value is typically used for preventing cross-site request forgery attacks. The state is also used to encode information about the user's state in the app before the authentication request occurred, such as the page or view they were on.
I want to consume API in mule esb from salesforce, using OAuth 2.0 so to get consumer key i'm configuring in salesforce API. I struct at callBack URL.
What does it mean? what should be the callback URL ?
Callback URL is the url that will being called on successful completion of the request validation in Salesforce.
Abani answered it well, just to explain more: Callback URL are those which you will mention while registering an oAuth App and will be redirected along with token, there you can write your business logic to get token and use it to consume data.
There is javascript version of oAuth implementation of Salesforce API, and can be used to understand the authentication flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULWBdjJx1Ss
The video describes STEP BY STEP process required to obtain token and use it to get data.
Call back URL is the URL called when the request is completed.That means after the requested is completed where the control should go we will say in call back url.After the completion of the request, it will redirect to that url. In sales force OAuth authentication we will use the callback URL
I made a appengine api that requires authentication. If I access it via web, I'm redirected to a google sigin process and then every request sends a ACSID cookie. Works flawlessly.
Now I want to use the api elsewhere. I already have a oauth2 token i got from logging in. From what I understood I should call <myapp>.appspot.com/_ah/login?auth=<oauth2token> and the request would return the cookie to pass to the future calls.
But it's returning status code 500, no matter the token I pass, and I'm reading about and starting to believe it's been deprecated. What's the proper way to do it now?
I've run into an issue when using OAuth 2 authorization codes in an web app's URL, such as is returned by Google's OAuth method (https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login).
I've been using the google redirect method; where you redirect the user to a Google URL, passing in client_id and redirect_uri. The user authenticates and the authorization code is passed to the redirect_uri as a
The issue is that the access code stays in the page URL, so if the user bookmarks or posts the URL, they are sending an invalid Authorization Code.
Eg:
http://myapp.com/?code=kACASDSDdAS81J5B8M_owCyUNgV46XdZaqBBMh4T8OJFEKPRrgN7gtiFOcMW5Fv3gk
What is the best way to handle this case? Ideally, I would like to send the authorization code in a POST body as it isn't visible to the player?
I've spent a bit of time looking at Google App Engine (the platform I'm using) to redirect the user, but can't seem to send a POST body in a redirect.
After the user is directed to your app with the authorization code in the URL query parameter, you should:
1) Exchange the authorization code for an access token by making a HTTPs POST to Google's OAuth 2.0 token endpoint and save that access token as appropriate (datastore, memcache, etc)
2) Redirect the user to a URL without the ?code. You can't send a POST body in a redirect (HTTP doesn't allow it), but that shouldn't be necessary if you store the access token server-side for making API calls.
If you must make the token accessible client-side, you can:
a) Send it back as a cookie along with the redirect (which exposes it to the client, though you could encrypt it) OR
b) Generate a HTML form, with JavaScript for auto-submitting it instead of doing the redirect. Kind of ugly, but common.
