Grails application with Google Account Sign in

Question

I am currently working on a Grails application and we want users to be able to sign in with their Google accounts. I am currently exploring spring-security-core 1.2.7.3 in conjunction with spring-security-openid 1.0.4. I have followed many tutorials and the best one I have found so far is this one :

Unfortunately I don't think this addresses signing in with a Google account, and rather using their openID to sign in.

Does anyone have examples or tutorials of grails projects that allow users to sign in with their Google accounts?

Answer 1

Peter Ledbrook created an app to submit talks for the Groovy & Grails eXchange conference in London, and it has support for Google logins. The source is here: https://github.com/pledbrook/talk-submissions

Answer 2

Look at the shiro ouath plugin. It has support for google oauth, and would let you authenticate using google accounts.
