Hello, Right now, you can use 2-legged auth on Orkut apps; 3-legged auth is being developed by Orkut team. There´s a beta-beta version available, and if you want to take a look (java based): http://code.google.com/p/orkut-os-client/
Just to clarify the differences between 2-legged and 3-legged (extracted from http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-php-client/wiki/HowToConnecting ) 2-legged OAuth authorizes your app to access the information of anyone who has installed your application on the container you are connecting to. This style of authorization is best for background processing for an app which runs inside of a social network. 3-legged OAuth allows users who have not installed your application on a social network to grant access to their data to your application. This style of authorization is best for websites which want to work with social data but do not run applications inside of social networks. So, just to give an idea about what you need to do, using 2-legged: 1- You need an opensocial app (web), which users need to install on their profile; 2- Ask users to give an identifier (email, username, etc). During this time you must persist data on your server, sending the opensocial id + identifier; 3- You can use REST or RPC to create your application. Ask user to give that identifier and then you can grab opensocial id from your database; .NET REST client can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-net-client/ <http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-net-client/>Let me know if you have any doubt.
