Hi Shiva, If all you need is the ability to uniquely identify a user, and know that the request originated from iGoogle, then you can accomplish this using a signed makeRequest. The token will be the user's OpenSocial ID.
In order to use this for authentication, you'd have your gadget send a signed makeRequest to your server. When iGoogle receives the instruction to send the request, it will append the user's ID, and a signature to the parameters. On your end, you'd verify that the request came from iGoogle and that the parameters are valid by using the signature. Once verified, you can use the ID as the unique identifier for the user. More details on this are available here: http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Introduction_To_Signed_Requests Dan On Mar 10, 4:52 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > Is there any way I can use igoogle itself as the scope or No scope(I > dont' think this is possible).
