How to set my website name or alias name instead of google oauth client_id from the response?

Question

When i get the response from google contacts API using Oauth2.0, it Returns the response something like as follows

"The site 251543634636.apps.googleusercontent.com is requesting access to your Google Account for the product(s) listed below. ...etc"

In which, how to display my web application name in place of client_id like 251543634636.apps.googleusercontent.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

All you need to do is register your application, and then a more friendly description can show up for the user. Instructions on how to do this are documented here:

http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/RegistrationForWebAppsAuto.html

Note the section that says:

Domain description: This optional value should briefly describe the domain you're registering. In the future, this description may be displayed on the Google Access Consent page to provide additional information for your users. You always have the option of changing this description or leaving it blank.

Good luck!
