Type

Obtaining the configuration parameter values

  1. Log in to your Google Apps Admin Console (at https://www.google.com/a/domain-name) and verify that Security > Enable API access is checked.
    For more information on these APIs, navigate to the Google Developers interface, and search for these APIs.
  2. In the OAuth 2.0 application of choice (at https://console.developers.google.com), create credential of type OAuth Client Id / Other, then download the related client_secrets.json file.

  3. Download the Google Apps connector bundle

  4. Change to the directory where you have downloaded the bundle and run the following command on the client_secrets.json file that you obtained earlier in this procedure:

    Code Block
    $ jar xvf net.tirasa.connid.bundles.googleapps-1.4.0.jar
    $ java -jar net.tirasa.connid.bundles.googleapps-1.4.0.jar /path/to/client_secrets.json
    Please open the following address in your browser:
    https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?
    access_type=offline
    ...

    This command opens the default browser, and loads a screen on which you authorize consent to access the Google Apps account.

    Info
    titleTip

    If you have recently created your Google Apps account, it might take some time (often two hours or more) to synchronize the data required for this access request to work. For additional information, refer to the Google documentation noted earlier.

     

  5. When you have authorized consent, the browser returns a code. Copy and paste the code into the terminal from which you ran the original command.

    Code Block
    $ Attempting to open that address in the default browser now...
    Please enter code:
    XXXXXXXX

    A response similar to the following is returned: 

    Code Block
    languagejs
    {
        "clientId" : "5x4x3x4x0x8x-cxlx3xsxcx8xixlxmx3x0xrxgx7x6x3x.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "clientSecret" : "0xhx9xrx8xdxqx9xDxjxUx3x",
        "refreshToken" : "1x7xmxfx_yxuxNxUxFxjxVxVxkxXx3XxHxMxYxzx5xcxI"
    }


  6. You can now use the information above to populate the configuration properties as reported above.
