How to login using Google account in WEB applications

In case of Web Applications, the GamExampleLogin object (which is part of the GAM example library) includes automatically a button by which the user can login to Google.
This button is included dynamically, as the Google Authentication Type is detected to be defined in the GAM Repository.

GoogleLogin

The following code is associated to the "Google" Button:

Event &ButtonGoogle.Click
GAMRepository.LoginGoogle()
EndEvent

How to login using Google account in SD applications
