I develop ios-application and my target is to deploy Disqus comments to app.
Is it possible to post comments from foreign identity? (Facebook, Twitter, etc)?
I found this post to Disqus developers google group.
Also, i have found this example, which implements Disqus.
But it uses email and nickname.
Thank you for help!
Nope, the only authentication that's supported with the API is:
Disqus accounts
Single Sign-on (SSO)
Using the permissions of the website owner (to post unregistered guest comments)
You can find more information here: http://disqus.com/api/docs/auth/

I have an application that authenticates users via Google Oauth. When I click Signup button, a signup screen would pop up as shown in the figure below.
The problem is that I want users to signup emails with domain name of my organization. Specifically, the username suffix should be #my_organization.com instead of #gmail.com as displayed in the figure. I have tried to modify the Oauth Consent Screen but there seems to be no option to configure this.
as you mentioned the "Sign in with Google" is for login purposes through OAuth protocol when the accounts already exists in an organization, I am afraid this is not intended to delegate user creation since this is a task only domain administrators are allowed within an organization.
The most you can achieve from OAuth is to force the sign in with an specific domain; you can do this by modifying the "hd" parameter in the authentication request you are sending using the Google's OAuth 2.0 API. Here you can check on this topic: click here
As mentioned above, if you are looking to create user accounts with a specific domain you need to be an administrator in a Google Workspace account.
I hope this information helps!
You can only use oAuth with registered Google accounts.
With Google Workspace you can use a domain in your Gmail, see.
But if that's not possible and you want a quick way to authenticate, maybe Auth0 or similar tools can help.
I would like to show a company's feed/updates/post on a website. I am the owner/admin of the LinkedIn page. Most of the related questions are old and uses V1. This similar questions also seems unanswered (LinkedIn Company Feed in API v2?). LinkedIn support are of no help and they instruct me to ask questions on Stackoverflow.
I created an App on LinkedIn and they assigned default permissions (r_emailaddress, r_liteprofile, w_member_social). But these permissions are of no use to me since I just want to show the company feeds on the website. Neither I want any user to login to LinkedIn nor I want to read the users/visitors email addresses or profile. Already went through a lot of their documentation but there is no clear mentioning of how to do this.
I read that company updates can be retrieved using the /ugcPosts API. GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts?q=authors&authors=List(url-encoded organization Urn). But in order to do that I need r_organization_social permission. How to get this permission?
Also in this scenario, since I just want to retrieve company posts, I can use 2 legged oauth: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/client-credentials-flow?context=linkedin/context instead of 3 legged oauth. But when I try to generate access token I get error "access_denied: This application is not allowed to create application tokens"
https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=xxxxx&client_secret=xxxxx&redirect_uri=http://xxxxx.local/&state=fasdfasdfs
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks!
You need to apply for the LinkedIn Marketing Partner Program. You can do so by adding this product to the app you have created.
Once you have access, you can read the company feed using the following API endpoint:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares?q=owners&owners=urn:li:organization:12345&sharesPerOwner=100&count=25
Hope this helps.
LinkedIn recently updated their API and now I unable to get public user profile url(by VanityName) during OAuth2 authentication phase. Looks like r_basicprofile is not available anymore.
Is there any chance to get this url and if so, could you please describe how?
According to the following LinkedIn documentation Find Profile by VanityName API
The use of this API is restricted to those developers approved by
LinkedIn and subject to applicable data restrictions in their
agreements.
But there is no any information how to apply to this API. How to apply to this API and get the appropriate permissions for r_basicprofile?
I think you need to become a partner although I'am struggling with the same thing

I'm currently using OAuth to authenticate people with their twitter (twitter gems) acount in my application. The problem is that for people who aren't connected or who have various accounts.
So that's my question, is that possible, to ask user their login/password to link their twitter account on my application ?
Thanks
It is no longer possible to connect to Twitter's API using Twitter credentials. Twitter's public stance on this is that you should -never- provide your Twitter credentials to anyone else, ever. This is part of their rationale for implementing OAuth.
Even if you had the user's Twitter password, you couldn't validate that it was actually their password, nor could you access their Twitter account with it through the Twitter API.
Your best bet would be to look into devise and omniauth. I've gotten it to work this way. Omniauth also allows to link to several accounts. Be it, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I'm sure it's entirely possible to ask users for their Twitter login/password on your application. It's a very bad practice though, as OAuth avoids the need for client applications to ever touch a users credentials. I suggest setting up an authentication/authorization system that maintains a login/password and then allows connecting multiple OAuth accounts via an AuthenticationStrategy model or the like. Ryan Bates did a few Railscasts on the subject:

I want to create an web application that will link up a student's facebook, twitter and orkut accounts all under one shed. Its like connecting all the students within a college, to login into the web app, the userid will be the unique studentID provided by the college
itself.
Now, once a student has logged-in, he can open his facebook, twitter and orkut a/c in the same window, lets say under tabs. How can i do that??
I mean how can i pass a student's Facebook's user-id and password to facebook server and if user authentication is done, then show the student his facebook wall.
I am very confused and don't know how to deal with this.
Storing username and passwords is not a very good idea. Neither Facebook nor twitter supports it through API.
For Facebook integration use the OpenGraph protocol with any SDK that Facebook provides, like Javascript SDK. Mogli is a ruby wrapper for OpenGraph API
For Twitter, there are multiple options like John Nunemaker's Twitter gem. Use that to talk to Twitter API.
Ultimately, it comes down to the architecture of your application. You can start by creating models like 'FacebookConnection' or 'TwitterConnection' and linking them to your 'User' model.
Solving it easy, just make the link open twitter/facebook. if they are signed in there already, their homepage will show, otherwise they will be prompted to enter user/pass.
To integrate your application with those platform, each platform got it's API and connect method, with this you won't need the user password be stored in your app. You instead will, twitter as an example, create a twitter application that communicate with twitter's API, and then redirect the user to twitter asking twitter to grant your application some access to the signed in user account, almost the same as you will sign in with your google account here on stackoverflow.
To do the communication with each of those platform, refer to the API/Connect documentation they provide and implement it in your web application. Don't reinvent the wheel, most of the communication functionality will be already coded in an easy to use library, whether for rubyonrails or most other development frameworks/languages.
look at facebook connect, oath (for twitter) etc instead of storing passwords
divs/iframes with some kind of tab control (jQuery?) to handle toggling of what should be visible.
