I have seen this page and plenty others, but all propose solution not suitable for me. I have same problem that the one in link I provided.

I am trying to use Google+ API functions, so users can log in to my page with Google account.

When I had redirect_uri to localhost: 

$client->setRedirectUri("https://localhost/...");

everything worked. But then I changed it to local ip 192.168.1.10 and get error (on url https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2F192.168.1.10.......)

  1. That’s an error.

Error: invalid_request

device_id and device_name are required for private IP:

I don't know what should I do. I use PHP server wrappers. I can not change etc/hosts because I am also trying my code on mobile (Android, IPAD). So, local IP is necessary, to test it on Mobile. I want to avoid setting up a test page on some real server, because testing web page on localhost is the fastest way, when still developing the page.

If you cannot change the hosts file of some of your devices, I guess your best bet is to use a local DNS server to fake a domain, just like you would do with an entry in your /etc/hosts. This answer should help you with this:

If you set your devices to use your computer as nameserver it should be possible to spoof a domain and use this domain for testing oauth2 authentication.

Here is some more information about this error: http://developers.blog.box.com/2012/12/19/going-beyond-oauth2-byod-in-the-enterprise/

device_id and devive_name are mentioned in the specs as well: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-31#section-3.2.1

Google does not accept a local (private) IP address when doing Oauth or API calls. Instead, you can add an entry in your Windows hosts file for the local IP: \Windows\System32\drivers\etc

192.168.1.10 fakedomain.com

Then use fakedomain.com to callback URI in google instead of your local IP address.

Finally browse the service with http://fakedomain.com
