Before configuring z/Scope Anywhere to work integrated with google accounts, you have to create a Google Client ID for web applications.

Remember that a Google Client ID has to be created under an existing Google account. We recommend you to use a google account that identifies the system administration, because this account will be shown to users as the responsible for their account personal data that will be accessed from google.

 

Follow the next steps to create your own "Google Client ID for web applications".

 

1. Log into google with the admin account you will use to configure the integration.

 

2. Open the URL http://code.google.com/apis/console on the same browser instance.

 

3. Click on the "Create Project button". This step will only happens if your google account has never configured a Google Client ID before. Otherwise it will jump into the next step.
