My application allows users to log in using OpenID from Google or Yahoo. There’s also a feature which allows users to upload to YouTube. Some users arrive via a YouTube context with the purpose of creating something and uploading to YouTube. These users will need to authorize my application to access both the address on their Google Account via OpenID, and their YouTube account via OAuth. I’d like this to be achieved with a single authorization click for the user.

I’ve seen this done here: http://www.youtube.com/create/Xtranormal. The request sent to the Google OpenID endpoint from this app is: 

https://accounts.google.com/o/openid2/auth?
openid.ns=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0&
openid.claimed_id=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select&
openid.identity=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select&
openid.return_to=http://www.xtranormal.com/social/openid/complete/?next%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fyoutube.xtranormal.com%252Fytmm%252Fauth_popup_done%252F%26janrain_nonce%3D2011-08-29T16%253A35%253A53ZW0VqRw&
openid.assoc_handle=AOQobUcMlV0Hmk431QROK27UegIYqYffiPeCuZ8gsB2x5ULYP0FXuoDZ&
openid.ax.mode=fetch_request&
openid.ax.required=ext0,ext1,ext2&
openid.ax.type.ext0=http://axschema.org/namePerson/first&
openid.ax.type.ext1=http://axschema.org/namePerson/last&
openid.ax.type.ext2=http://axschema.org/contact/email&
openid.mode=checkid_setup&
openid.ns.ax=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0&
openid.ns.oauth=http://specs.openid.net/extensions/oauth/1.0&
openid.ns.sreg=http://openid.net/extensions/sreg/1.1&
openid.oauth.consumer=www.xtranormal.com&
openid.oauth.scope=http://gdata.youtube.com/&
openid.realm=http://www.xtranormal.com/&
openid.sreg.optional=postcode,country,nickname,email,fullname

All the other OpenID support on the application (which works well), is written with OpenID4Java. I’ve tried to create a similar request by implementing the tips in This answer, however, I can’t for the life of me get the Google popup to ask me for YouTube, it only asks for the email address.

I’m adding the parameters from the answer by adding this message extension:

public class OAuthHybridRequest implements MessageExtension{
    public static String SCOPE_YOUTUBE = "http://gdata.youtube.com/";
    ParameterList parameters;
    public OAuthHybridRequest(String scope){
        parameters = new ParameterList();
        parameters.set(new Parameter("consumer", DeploymentProperties.getDeploymentProperty("OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY")));
        parameters.set(new Parameter("scope", scope));
    }   
    public ParameterList getParameters() {
        return parameters;
    }
    public String getTypeUri() {
        return "http://specs.openid.net/extensions/oauth/1.0";
    }
    ...
}

Which makes my request look like this:

https://accounts.google.com/o/openid2/auth?
openid.ns=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0&
openid.claimed_id=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select&
openid.identity=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select&
openid.return_to=http://martin.test.example.no/socialdelegation/hybrid/youtube/sso/auth?is_callback%3Dtrue%26requestedURL%3D%252Fmovieeditor%252Fscripts%252Fpopupcloser.jsp&
openid.realm=http://martin.test.example.no&
openid.assoc_handle=AOQobUcMkuyp1pVZjpF-b8dVqTfB6Y6IyOZxihsk-XD1DOq0xv06lrlPgaJEF-ITUCdJiXPi&
openid.mode=checkid_setup&
openid.ns.ext1=http://specs.openid.net/extensions/oauth/1.0&
openid.ext1.consumer=test.example.no&
openid.ext1.scope=http://gdata.youtube.com&
openid.ns.sreg=http://openid.net/sreg/1.0&
openid.sreg.required=fullname,nickname,email&
openid.ns.ext3=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0&
openid.ext3.mode=fetch_request&
openid.ext3.type.email=http://axschema.org/contact/email&
openid.ext3.type.firstName=http://axschema.org/namePerson/first&
openid.ext3.type.lastName=http://axschema.org/namePerson/last&
openid.ext3.type.userName=http://axschema.org/namePerson/friendly&
openid.ext3.type.gender=http://axschema.org/person/gender&
openid.ext3.type.fullName=http://axschema.org/namePerson&
openid.ext3.required=email,firstName,lastName,userName,gender,fullName

What am I missing here?

    Download oauth ext for openid4java zip file from here (comment 8) and add classes to your project. Then:

    // enable oauth ext for openid4java (do once)
Message.addExtensionFactory(OAuthMessage.class);

// add oauth extension to open-id request
AuthRequest authReq = ...;
OAuthRequest oauthRequest = OAuthRequest.createOAuthRequest();
oauthRequest.setScopes("oauth scope");
oauthRequest.setConsumer("oauth consumer key");
authReq.addExtension(oauthRequest);

// extract oauth request token from open-id response
AuthSuccess authSuccess = ...;
if (authSuccess.hasExtension(OAuthMessage.OPENID_NS_OAUTH)) {
    OAuthResponse oauthRes = (OAuthResponse) authSuccess
        .getExtension(OAuthMessage.OPENID_NS_OAUTH);
    // use this request token (without secret and verifier) and your oauth lib
    // to get oauth access token
    String oauthRequestToken = oauthRes.getRequestToken();
}
