Salesforce Remote Access Authorization Error - oauth

I am new to developing a Salesforce app and I am using OAuth 1 for authentication.
I am able to generate the Request Token, and I re-direct the user to the salesforce site.
Once I enter my credentials, I get a
Remote Access Authorization Error
There was a problem in setting up your remote access
with
oauth_error_code=1800
In my Login History page, it shows Status as Success for Application type OAuth.
I don't get any entry in my Debug Logs page.
I have enabled Development Mode.
Any ideas whats wrong?

So https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success is a stub URL for callbacks - and that is the screen you are seeing there, and the access_token variable is your session ID for the user. So the OAuth flow is working correctly.
In the code, you might check to see if oauthResponse.access_token is getting set correctly. If so, it looks like:
sfw.login( setupHomeView );
That is what should tell it to move from that page to the next UI page.
You might also check out the Force.com Mobile SDK (link). It also includes PhoneGap and has a great OAuth wrapper built in.

OAuth v2 Issues with Microsoft Account connection

I have been trying to implement the OAuth v2 for Microsoft Accounts for my website. Its currently in development stage and so am testing on localhost. The Website is an ASP.NET Core MVC 5 Application.
I have followed the tutorial here to implement OAuth for Twitter, Google and Facebook accounts. I found this to be quite simple with only a few small issues that I was able to solve with simple google searches.
However I have spent several days trying to understand what is happening when trying to use Microsoft Account authentication on my site.
I have watched the video here on registering an application in the Microsoft App Registration Portal. At around minute 6 in the video a short demo shows how to set up the App. You can see my App details in the following screen shot:
In the video at about 7.5 mins in, there is a small section explaining how to test the App by building a URL string.
On submitting the query string to the browser the page is redirected as expected to my App page as you can see here:
In this instance I was all ready signed into my Microsoft Outlook account. If I wasn't signed in I would be prompted to login to a Microsoft account. Logging in, in this case choosing my already signed in Outlook account causes the page to be redirected back to my site as seen in the following screen shot but because the site didn't send the request its not expecting a token sent back for login so nothing really happens. This is expected behaviour, at this point as I was only testing that the Apps end point was working as expected.
[
The next stage is to test the functionality from my website. This is where I always have issues. To activate the OAuth functionality for Microsoft Account login requires simply un-commenting a couple of lines of code within the Startup.Auth.cs file in my websites App_Start folder and passing in the Apps ClientKey and ClientSecret values as can bee seen in the following code snippet:
app.UseMicrosoftAccountAuthentication(
clientId: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MicrosoftOAuthClientID"],
clientSecret: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MicrosoftOAuthClientSecret"]);
This code basically adds a little button to the login page that allows you to choose Microsoft login as can be seen here:
[
When I click the Microsoft button I get the following error page:
And the query string returned contains the following:
https://login.live.com/err.srf?lc=2057#error=unauthorized_client&error_description=The+client+does+not+exist.+If+you+are+the+application+developer%2c+configure+a+new+application+through+the+application+management+site+at+https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/.&state=JMxMRuKaOiYWCQw_Uqkhv3gLQn3ULlkG2miM4ymcHhTK5niXVQl5n4L0a6VoWeEKmFM7T1ciU2oQAh26_Y0i2DMjdt6BOAtpjNeMaSpBq4wbCjva9lOuctOUIWwoFdTEGvxJ4M904lUsoudd9e9cYi6eiH3JF81HB5ouQSus2ddE1sVUQLw-YB1GjUL79y2muFaBFIOIOk75oCV2IxX4cFO2rJU04K9Se6gxu698WpzR8taUB2c6tK9u0dBisckhavf0IvKB9dWQq-IVwQgvaA
Anybody know why or what is happening????
Now I have read in several of my many searches while trying to understand whats happening when I try to test the App from my site rather than a URL directly in the browser that I should have
/signin-microsoft
appended to my Redirect URL in the App Portals configuration. I have Tested with my Redirect URL set like that and this does not work. I get a HTTP ERROR 500 sent back because the page signin-microsoft does not exist. So this is not my problem.
Please help if anyone has had the same issues and solved it.
EDIT: I should have mentioned that I was initially trying this using Local IISExpress but after reading some posts saying it can be done only on IIS so I published my site locally to IIS.

LinkedIn Oauth error: 'The partner did did not properly implement the authentication protocol' on browser back after signin

We integrated a Rails app with linkedin authentication, using devise and the linkedin gem.
It works fine and able to register/sign in with linkedin, however an odd thing happens when you press 'back' on the browser after signing in/up:
It goes back to linkedin with the same request URL and the error shown is:
The partner did did not properly implement the authentication protocol. in RED
This looks quite bad and we'd like to have a better way of handling this, but no idea where to start; any idea what could trigger this and is there any way we can prevent it?
You will need to build your service for every new request.You might have same access code for diff-2 request.
Try to generate it for every http auth request.
service = new ServiceBuilder()
.provider(LinkedInApi.class)
.apiKey(API_KEY)
.apiSecret(API_SECRET).debug()
.build();

Console application using the YouTube Data API

I'm about to build a console application that needs access to the authenticated YouTube Data API. Calling the API's themselves is not a problem, I know quite well how to make and process HTTPS requests.
I've already gotten the API key and the Client ID. No problems there, either.
The problem is the authentication.
I've checked here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/authentication#installed-apps
On the "Installed applications" tab, in step two, it instructs on how to set up a url to call to do the authentication step. All good so far. But before programming anything, I thought I'd try and see what that url does in the browser.
Turns out it just displays a login prompt. Well how about that. That won't work in this kind of console application. The idea is, presumably, that the user is somehow shown this webpage and be instructed to login and allow access. Then, somehow, by some kind of magic perhaps, the access token is sent back to my console application.
Two things I'm not quite sure about:
1) How do I prompt for the username and/or password in the console app and send that to the authentication URL?
2) How would I get the access token back from it?
The biggest problem is that the API seems to require a browser... Which isn't there. My console application will (eventually) run unattended, so starting up a browser and displaying a webpage and doing nothing until it returns a code, is out of the question. I need to somehow supply the authentication page a username/password and get back the code right away.

iOS facebook SDK 3 > Get the signed request

I try to get the signed request to login the user via a webservice but I only have access to the accessToken on FBSession.
I saw this link
Facebook Signed Request for iOS (HMAC SHA256)
who shows how to convert the signed_request but doesn't show how to get it.
Need help :)
If I undersand you right you want your app to login and then make a call to a server where you need to check the users credential again.
I used this tutorial for the authentication.
Then when I call the server I send the accessToken property as a parameter to check the users credentials on the server. You can get the token value like this:
FBSession.activeSession.accessToken
On the server side you can then set the access token to the value you got from the app.
I compiled a gist that generates a signed request which you can then use to authenticate a user on your server without having to query the graph API.
You can find it here: https://gist.github.com/3962188
You can find the original question I compiled it for here: Facebook iOS SDK to return a signed request object upon login
Please note that most of the code is simply a compilation of existing open source code, but I haven't seen any fully working implementation like this anywhere.

BrowserField2 - salesforce oauth2 failing at Accept/Deny stage

I have a BlackBerry java-based app that works with salesforce data and uses oauth 2 for authentication. It has been working fine until recently when users have been complaining that once they get to the accept/deny salesforce oauth page, clicking on Accept button displays a salesforce 404 page.
I attached a debugger to the bb simulator (OS7) and found that everything was working fine up to the point where a POST is made to salesforce on pressing the ACCEPT button in the final stage of authentication/authorisation via salesforce oauth2 user agent flow. At this point, the post would succeed and the response body would contain some markup with a small JavaScript block that just performs a document.location.href assignment to force the browser to navigate to a new URL. I noticed that the URL was not what I was expecting - I was expecting to see the redirect_uri callback address + the access token etc data appended to the end of it (as per the sf oauth2 documentation). What I saw instead was a URL that when navigated to leads the user back to a login page with a message saying that they are attempting to access a resource that requires authentication.
If I perform the same flow in say chrome the URL after the post is what I expect. This all used to work just fine so I am confused as to why it would stop working all of a sudden. I've heard that Salesforce changed their oauth 2 implementation back in late 2011 slightly so I wonder if this has broken my client although I don't see how.
As an experiment I removed all of my code except for an embedded BrowserField and made it navigate to the oauth URL as constructed by combining consumer key and various other values as per the documentation and it still fails with a 404 page at the point of clicking on the accept button after a successful login.
If I try the same bootstrap oauth URL in the built in bb browser the full authentication flow works fine and I am eventually redirected to the final callback URL with access token information appended.
Has anyone else out there had trouble with oauth2 user agent flow on BrowserField (from field2 package)?
Have you tried using the "scope=mobile" parameter? This parameter puts you into a very simplified oauth flow that is optimized for blackberry...we've found they generally have trouble getting through the richer flows designed for iOS/Android. That said, I haven't heard of them having issues on BB7...only the 5 and sometimes 6 series
If that fails, could you open a support case with us?
Try also "display=mobile" and "scope=api web" (with a space), depending on what you are trying to access after OAuth.
