Google Auth runs in Visual studio but hangs when deployed to IIS

I am working with the Google .Net client library. The way it works is when a user wants to authenticate to Google the library spawns a new webpage for the user to authenticate with.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(authorizationUrl);

My code using the library

credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
    GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
    scopes,
    userName,
    CancellationToken.None).Result;

If I run this locally via Visual studio it works fine. However if I try to deploy it just hangs. If run it using Visual studio using Local IIS. I get the following error.

I am not a system admin type person I have very little understanding of IIS. My guess is that IIS doesn’t have the permissions to be able to spawn the process? This is just a guess. I have tried setting the application pool to use my own personal account, I have tried network system as well.

Method 1

The library supports another way of authenticating for use with Web Apps.

using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;

using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2.Flows;
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2.Mvc;
using Google.Apis.Drive.v2;
using Google.Apis.Util.Store;

namespace Google.Apis.Sample.MVC4
{
    public class AppFlowMetadata : FlowMetadata
    {
        private static readonly IAuthorizationCodeFlow flow =
            new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow(new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Initializer
                {
                    ClientSecrets = new ClientSecrets
                    {
                        ClientId = "PUT_CLIENT_ID_HERE",
                        ClientSecret = "PUT_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE"
                    },
                    Scopes = new[] { DriveService.Scope.Drive },
                    DataStore = new FileDataStore("Drive.Api.Auth.Store")
                });

        public override string GetUserId(Controller controller)
        {
            // In this sample we use the session to store the user identifiers.
            // That's not the best practice, because you should have a logic to identify
            // a user. You might want to use "OpenID Connect".
            // You can read more about the protocol in the following link:
            // https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login.
            var user = controller.Session["user"];
            if (user == null)
            {
                user = Guid.NewGuid();
                controller.Session["user"] = user;
            }
            return user.ToString();

        }

        public override IAuthorizationCodeFlow Flow
        {
            get { return flow; }
        }
    }
}
