Bad Good news
It is found that Hudson 3.3.0-RC1 causes Internal Server Errors on its common pages if the Google Login Plugin is enabled. It is advised to disable this plugin before upgrading Hudson to 3.3.0-RC1. Otherwise, you will have to manually disable or delete this plugin in Hudson’s home directory.
The Internal Server Error problem was a false alert. The Google Login Plugin can work on Hudson 3.3.0-RC1, though you must re-associate your Google account after the upgrade.
Introduction to the Google Login Plugin
The Google Login Plugin for Hudson enables federated login with Google and allows users to log into Hudson with their associated Google accounts. There is no edition of this plugin for Jenkins yet.
This plugin requires the Google APIs Client Library plugin and includes the Google OAuth2 API Client Library for Java. If you would like to use the OAuth2 API Client Library in your plugin, please let me know so that I can separate it into another plugin.

Usage of the Google Login Plugin
Initial configuration
To use this plugin to allow users to login with their Google accounts, an administrator must first configure it as follows:
- Create a Client ID for a web application in a project at the Google Developers Console. The authorized redirect URIs must at least include a URI
root-URL/federatedLoginService/google/authorized
. The author would also recommend to create a new project since its product name will be displayed on the consent screen when your users first associate their Google accounts. - After you create a Client ID, fill the ID and the Secret for this plugin on the System Configurations page.
Login with a Google account
If this plugin has been successfully configured, logged-in users can associate any Google accounts from the User Configurations page, or by visiting root-URL/federatedLoginService/google/login
. If a Google account has been associated, the user will be able to log in by the ‘Sign in with Google’ link on the login form.
Note: There is currently no way to unlink Google accounts except by editing a user account file directly.
