  3. Enter your catalog site URL in “Authorized JavaScript origins”. For example, if website domain is xyz.com, enter http://xyz.com

  4. In the “Authorized redirect URIs” input box, enter your website URL + the page/end-point where you wanted your user redirected back. If you are using Microsoft.Owin.Security.Google library, the end-point is “/signin-google”. For example, my website url is http://xyz.com, so I enter http://xyz.com/signin-google

  5. Click on “Create” Button.


Note: Use System.Url.getOrgDomainUrl().toExternalForm() in your apex method to get the redirect URIs and paste it to the Authorized redirect URIs input box.



  • It will display a pop-up with Client Id and Client Secret.


  • Create a storage bucket. Click on the navigation button, then click on Storage and then click on Browser.


  • On the Storage’s Browser screen, click on Create Bucket.


If you have previously created buckets or deployed web apps, you will see the Strorage's Browser screen with a list of your existing buckets similar to the following screen. Click the CREATE BUCKET option.



  • On the Create a bucket screen, enter your bucket's name (for example, cs4750db-demo). The bucket serves as your root folder; i.e., the main context directory of your web app / website. Click continue. You may need to click Choose where to store your data to expand the option. Select Regional for Location type, and select us-east4 for Location; then click the Create button.



  • You may access the bucket from the browser screen. Copy the name of the bucket.

“Now just save the Client Id, Client Secret and Bucket name. You can save it on any custom object or if it is not required then just copy it on any txt file.”
