use existing provider with new ClientId fails at getting the access token

[Boren Zhang]

I am using the existing google provider to log in my app that requires google drive privilege. I provide my own ClientId, ClientIdSecret, RedirectUri and Scope in my .service file. The authorization process stop at url "http://localhost/?code=<access_token>".

"http://localhost/" is my RedirectUri. "http://localhost/?code=<access_token>" shows up after the " the user has granted permission to my app.

I notice that few apps use a custom ClientId based on existing provider. They either have new providers or existing provider already has enough privilege for application to use. I wonder whether someone has done this before.

my .service file:
<service>
    <type>googledrivescope</type>
    <provider>google</provider>
    <name>Drive Scope</name>
    <template>
        <group name="auth/oauth2/web_server">
            <setting name="ClientId">68272877916-b4rvbf5e8a064hast9qpgg7329lepeqq.apps.googleusercontent.com</setting>
            <setting name="ClientSecret">**********</setting>
            <setting type="as" name="Scope">['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']</setting>
            <setting name="RedirectUri">http://localhost</setting>
        </group>
    </template>
</service>

my .application file:
<application>
    <services>
        <service id="com.ubuntu.developer.bobo1993324.googledrivescope_googledrivescope">
            <description>Search google drive files</description>
        </service>
    </services>
</application>

How I invoke online account:
inside Query::run()
...
    unity::scopes::OnlineAccountClient oa_client("com.ubuntu.developer.bobo1993324.googledrivescope_googledrivescope", "googledrivescope", "google");
...

Hi Boren, could you please enable signond debugging by typing this command on a terminal:

    echo "LoggingLevel=2" > ~/.config/signond.conf

and then try again? Then please attach the /var/log/syslog file here, making sure that you replace all access tokens with "XXXXX".

Hi Alberto, I can't find log /var/log/syslog, after I run command $echo "LoggingLevel=2" > ~/.config/signond.conf and restart.
I see /var/log/syslog in my desktop but not on my touch device.

I did these from the online account tutorial and get the log attached below.
  export OAU_LOGGING_LEVEL=2
  export OAU_DAEMON_TIMEOUT=9999
  online-accounts-service

Hope it can be helpful to you.
