Oauth2 authentication plugin for Moodle (for Moodle 3.2 and earlier)
Sergio RabellinoPlugin end of life starting from Moodle 3.3
starting from Moodle 3.3, Oauth2 should be implemented in Moodle core. It will require you to upgrade to Moodle 3.3 and switch to the Oauth2 core authentication (and probably do some migration), but it is a great news as authentication is a really sensible matter and having Oauth2 plugins in core will guarantee their maintenance. So starting from Moodle 3.3 I highly recommend to use the new Oauth2 core plugins ((https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Better_Office_Integrations_3.3#Core_API_for_managing_Authorized_OAuth_Applications) ) . Missing core providers will likely be implemented by someone and published in the Moodle.org plugin repository. There will probably be a new Oauth2 category in the Moodle plugin repository. Wait and see...
I will try to mantain this plugin until Moodle 3.1 (LTS) runs out of security upport (13 May 2019).
Warning for Facebook users
The plugin stopped working the 27th March 2017 as Facebook closed the API 2.2. The last versions of this plugin have been updated to support Facebook 2.8 API. As usual carefully test before upgrading a third party plugin if your Moodle site is important to you (especially as it is an authentication plugin)
Installation
- add the plugin into /auth/googleoauth2/
- in the Moodle administration, enable the plugin (Admin block > Plugins > Authentication)
- in the plugin admin page, follow the displayed instructions.
I also created a free mini-course on how to install a Moodle plugin using Oauth2 plugin as example.

Thanks in advance,

At first, I failed to install this plugin, but finally it works like a charm. In my opinion, the reason why I failed was that I used the same email as the one I had registered in my moodle site. I'm not sure! Let consider, guys!
" The site succeed to connect to the selected provider but failed to retrieve your user details. If you are using Google, check that your site administrator has enabled the Google+ API in the Google developer console. It is the most common reason for this error. "
Can someone help it will very cool thanks in advance.
Any help for this? Using hotmail account!!!

Microsoft account is experiencing technical problems. Please try again later.
But there is a small mistake in documentation. For Messenger redirect domain should be your website name + "/auth/googleoauth2/microsoft_redirect.php". For e.g if your website is www.xyz.com then redirect url should be "www.xyz.com/auth/googleoauth2/microsoft_redirect.php
Has anybody faced a similar problem? Please help
