So I've got an answer for you. In the OAuth request you can add hd=example.com and it will restrict authentication to users from that domain (I don't know if you can do multiple domains). You can find hd parameter documented here
Here's what I did using passport in node.js. profile is the user attempting to log in.
//passed, stringified email login
var emailString = String(profile.emails[0].value);
//the domain you want to whitelist
var yourDomain = '@google.com';
//check the x amount of characters including and after @ symbol of passed user login.
//This means '@google.com' must be the final set of characters in the attempted login
var domain = emailString.substr(emailString.length - yourDomain.length);
//I send the user back to the login screen if domain does not match
if (domain != yourDomain)
return done(err);
Then just create logic to look for multiple domains instead of just one. I believe this method is secure because 1. the '@' symbol is not a valid character in the first or second part of an email address. I could not trick the function by creating an email address like mike@fake@google.com 2. In a traditional login system I could, but this email address could never exist in Google. If it's not a valid Google account, you can't login.
Using the auth2 init function, you can pass the hosted_domain parameter to restrict the accounts listed on the signin popup to those matching your hosted_domain. You can see this in the documentation here: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/reference
Server Side:
Even with a restricted client-side list you will need to verify that the id_token matches the hosted domain you specified. For some implementations this means checking the hd attribute you receive from Google after verifying the token.
Full Stack Example:
Web Code:
gapi.load('auth2', function () {
// init auth2 with your hosted_domain
// only matching accounts will show up in the list or be accepted
var auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
client_id: "your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com",
hosted_domain: 'your-special-domain.example'
});
// setup your signin button
auth2.attachClickHandler(yourButtonElement, {});
// when the current user changes
auth2.currentUser.listen(function (user) {
// if the user is signed in
if (user && user.isSignedIn()) {
// validate the token on your server,
// your server will need to double check that the
// `hd` matches your specified `hosted_domain`;
validateTokenOnYourServer(user.getAuthResponse().id_token)
.then(function () {
console.log('yay');
})
.catch(function (err) {
auth2.then(function() { auth2.signOut(); });
});
}
});
});
