Facility Control

Hi,

I'm currently working on a custom panel in Ross Dashboard and I'm trying to set up a button that can launch a web browser to authenticate with Google using OAuth 2.0. Here's what I've tried so far:

1. Button Configuration: I've created a button with the onclick event set to call a function (onAuthenticateButtonClick()) defined in my ogScript.

2. Script Setup: My ogScript contains a function (openGoogleAuthPage()) that uses browser.openURL() to open the Google OAuth authentication URL. Here is a simplified version of my setup:

   
   <panel>
       <!-- Define the button for authentication -->
       <button buttontype="push" height="38" left="287" name="Authenticate with Google" onclick="onAuthenticateButtonClick()" top="147" width="135"/>
   
       <!-- Embedding the ogScript -->
       <ogscript>
           <![CDATA[
           function openGoogleAuthPage() {
               var authURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=CLIENT_ID" +
                   "&amp;redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob" +
                   "&amp;response_type=code" +
                   "&amp;scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly" +
                   "&amp;access_type=offline";
               browser.openURL(authURL);
           }
   
           function onAuthenticateButtonClick() {
               openGoogleAuthPage();
           }
           ]]>
       </ogscript>
   </panel>
   
   
   

However, when I click the button, nothing happens - no browser is launched. 

1. Is it possible to launch a web browser from a Ross Dashboard button using ogScript?
2. If yes, what is the correct method or function to achieve this? Are there any specific permissions or settings I need to configure in Dashboard to allow this behavior?
3. If not, what are the recommended alternative approaches for implementing OAuth 2.0 authentication in a Dashboard panel?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
