Hey there @Peter-Zhe-Chen ! This StackOverflow answer may help you out

[Peter Zhe Chen]

@julian Thanks! That works! I wish some of these can be included in the docs? Like javascript origins is not mentioned as well.

It looks like you're already using OAuth so I assume this won't affect the plugin?

OpenID 2.0 for Google Accounts has gone away - Google Account Help

I can not understand the reason for this error:

Error: invalid_client

The OAuth client was not found.

Is url correctly set in config.json?

Yes (instead example.com set my domain, of course)

grep 'url' nodebb/config.json 
    "url": "https://example.com",

Do you have the Google+ API enabled via your Google Apps Console?

[aya]

@julian
Yes.

This API is enabled:

BigQuery API 	
Cloud Debugger API 	
Debuglet Controller API 	
Google Cloud Logging API 	
Google Cloud SQL 	
Google Cloud Storage 	
Google Cloud Storage JSON API 
Google+ API 

I could be wrong, but I have all the settings are correct

P.S. i use:
sso plugin: https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-google
NodeBB v1.0.0.

P.P.S.
I created a new project in the Google Apps Console. Now everything is working. Probably somewhere I did was wrong

There is a helpful video: Enabling Google SSO for your NodeBB forum - YouTube, which is good, although I needed additional steps, basically Google Admin.

Just in case it's useful for some people, using Google Apps accounts, after installing nodebb-plugin-sso-google, activating it, and reloading, I needed to go -with the admin account- to Google Admin:

https://admin.google.com > More controls > Apps > Additional Google services > Settings for specific organizational units > example.com > Page 2 > Google Developers Console > On

Then to Google APIs:

https://console.developers.google.com/cloud-resource-manager

Click on Google APIs

View All > Social > Google+ API > Enable > Create

Project name: Example Login

Project ID: example-login

Organization: example.com

Create > Enable > Create credentials

Which API are you using?: Google+ API

Where will you be calling the API from?: Web server (e.g. node.js, Tomcat)

What data will you be accessing?. (x) User data

What credentials do I need?

Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID

Name: Web client 1

Authorized JavaScript origins: https://example.com

Authorized redirect URIs: https://example.com/community/auth/google/callback

Create client ID

Set up the OAuth 2.0 consent screen

Email address: youremail@example.com

Product name shown to users: Example Login

More customization options

Homepage URL: https://example.com

Product logo URL: https://example.com/content/images/logo-120x120.png

Privacy policy URL: https://example.com/privacy/

Continue > Download credentials > Download > Done

Web client 1

Client ID: (...)

Client secret: (...)

Creation date: (...)

And finally to the NodeBB plugin:

NodeBB Admin > Social Authentication > Google

Enter Client ID, Secret

[yes] Skip email verification for people who register using SSO?

Save

Reload NodeBB

Tested, it works well.

npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-google

Are there any plans for this plugin to work with 1.17 ?
