I have developed a management tool web site using ASP .NET.
Currently users register in the site to use the service. I would like to move it to Google Apps Marketplace. So that it would be available to google users.
I am quite confused what i should be doing to achieve this. Can anyone provide some useful links explaining how to do it.
If you are looking for a way for google users to login in your app by their google usernames, use the google oauth api
and here's the link to become a vendor on the google apps marketplace:

I am developing a Google Assistant app for Google Home, and about to launch the app. I am wondering, once my app is live on the Google Assistant platform, whether I (as a developer) would have access to all of the conversation histories as users interact with my app.
If so, does Actions on Google / Google have some sort of interface to view / download the history? Or, do I have to log and capture the history myself? I thought the history will be really helpful for me to improve my app.
Many thanks!
It depends a bit on how you have built your Action.
If you have built it with one of the templates - then no, you don't have access to the conversations.
If you have built it with the Actions SDK or with Dialogflow, then you will have access to quite a bit of information that is delivered to your fulfillment webhook. If you have intents that do not send anything to your webhook - you will not get that information.
There are tools that help you examine conversation flow, see where users get stuck or fall out of the conversation, or how they're using your Action. Most of them have good integration with the Actions on Google libraries. I use a combination of Chatbase, Dashbot.io, and Google Analytics.
I hope you can direct me with my query.
I wish to create my own authentication method for users in my Google Apps for Work account. Currently I am using built in Google Authentication, however I wish to build my own authentication method in PHP, Phyton or .NET; language doesn't matter really. So I want users to go to the page I will create, then they will need to pass authentication and be logged to Google Apps.
I know SSO is the way to do it but after my research I found very little about how to achieve it with Google Apps. I mean there is tones of third party platforms like OneLogin etc but I would like to have something I build myself. Ideally I would like to have some examples of SSO which works with GAFW so I could figure out the rest myself. I read somewhere that building own SSO portal it's not a piece of cake and also found an article that you can create something based on oAuth2.0 instead. So tried research about oAuth2.0 but all documentation I found is about authenticating to the application that I build using Google Apps Credentials, where I want the opposite; to be able to access Google Apps using the app that I build.
Hope someone could direct me to some examples or documentation or explain the process of learning curve to get my head around this project of building SSO for GAFW.
If you want to write your own Auth system and become the Identity Provider (IdP), you need to use SAML as that is the only supported method for now.
Here are the step by step instructions
I created an application as part of a university project that searches using web APIs. Google+ is one of the APIs considered.
Now I am trying to evaluate this application against what other search tools offer. In the evaluation, I ask the user to create a google plus account and then try to find it using the search engine example.com and then try our tool.
The problem I am having is that when I create a google plus profile, I can not find it immediately using "Google+ API people search". Is there a way to tell the API to consider recently created profiles or any other solution to this.
No. Google+ is a large application and things can take time to process by various other systems.
Is there a way to take a existing web application and make it available as a Facebook application or in Google Marketplace without doing recoding. How much effort would that require (10% or 90% of original effort).
What would be the pre-requisites around that within application.
If your application don't use any sort of authentication, you can just link it on Facebook's dev dashboard (as iframe) and it'll work. My guess is that Facebook won't allow any other kind of authentication besides their own, so if your app uses authentication, then you're going to have to implement Facebook's authentication.
With Google Marketplace you'll need a manifest for your app and also a listing manifest. And the authentication thing also applies, but with Google's.
I have developed asp.net MVC social networking site. I do not want to keep credentials at my database. Its user choice like stackoverflow (this forum). When we saying login the there should be option that to login with google/yahoo/facebook credentials, if user has account over there. What I have to do? is there any webservice provided by sites (google/yahoo/facebook) or what is remedy over this ? this topic in totally new for me . I expecting help from you gems..
You could implement OpenID. DotNetOpenAuth is implementation for .NET.
Sounds like OpenId would work for you (click, and more).
Library's to use in your apps.
For Facebook you want to use Facebook Connect. There is an implementation for .net on codeplex that you may want to have a look at. You may also want to look at this question.
Google uses OpenId. You can use DotNetOpenAuth to connect to google (and any other OpenId provider, such as Yahoo and twitter).
If you want to connect with Microsoft's LiveId, you may want to read this tutorial.
EDIT
There is also the option of using JanRain, a single provider that consolidates a large number of login providers. But note that JanRain is only free up to 1000 users.
There are solutions that enable authentication and features (like status updates, friends etc) from all mentioned sites, one of them is RPX from JanRain. I've experience with RPX personally and it's a great product, however, it will cost you money. They charge you per registered user etc.. I do not know of an open source solution that can compete with RPX.
If you are not interested in paying for a product you can always implement support for the mentioned sites yourself. All of them provide open API's and examples for how to do this. For Facebook it's very easy to implement Facebook Connect. Google and Yahoo both support Open ID and there are plenty of open source resources available for .NET (like http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/).
Good luck with your community!
