We have a program that uses a service account to manage various thing inside Google Chat.
Now, we have the need to create a new space using the Google Chat REST API (spaces.create).
We already joined the developer preview program, as this endpoint is not yet generally available.
From what we understand, this endpoint is not possible to invoke via service account and so we wanted to ask you… can we invoke this endpoint automatically using “domain delegation”? If yes, how?
We always want to use the service account as it is not possible to show a login prompt to the user.
We enabled the domain delegation but that endpoint returns always status 403. (We are using Google.Apis library for .NET Core
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
var credential = GoogleCredential.FromFile("key.json")
.CreateScoped("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.spaces.create")
.CreateWithUser("service-account-email#project.iam.gserviceaccount.com");
var token = await credential.UnderlyingCredential.GetAccessTokenForRequestAsync();
HttpRequestMessage request = new(HttpMethod.Post, "https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces");
request.Headers.Authorization = new("Bearer", token);
var payload = #"
{
""name"": ""testspace-1"",
""spaceType"": ""SPACE"",
""singleUserBotDm"": true,
""displayName"": ""Test Space""
}
";
request.Content = new StringContent(payload, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
HttpClient client = new();
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
If you check the documentation Auth
You will notice it stats that service account authorization is supported. If you are part of thedeveloper preview program
The reason I asked about your code is that the last time i tried this which notably was a while ago. The google .net client library was not generated the methods that were under preview.
So while it may work yes. The issue your may have is that the client library when loaded will not have the method you need meaning you will have to code the call to the endpoint yourself.
If this is in fact the case let me know if you have any issues peceing it together I may be able to help.
update your code
There is an error in your code
.CreateWithUser("service-account-email#project.iam.gserviceaccount.com");
The email in CreateWithUser should be the user on your domain who you wish to delicate the service account as. Not the service account email address.

I am fairly new to webapps programming, so I thought of asking here.
I am implementing the SAML2 protocol in an open source app (namely OFBiz) but I am encountering a problem related to session loss after the protocol made its course.
I am following these steps to implement the protocol. Suppose ofbizwebsite.com is the URL of the site.
Installed a custom plugin named SAMLIntegration which exposes the ACS page and the logic for login. To my understanding, a plugin (gradle) is like an indipendent java project, which translates to a new set of resources for the application (the plugin enables, for example, to visit ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration and setup some resources).
Exposed the ACS page to ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration/control/acs, as well as metadata ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration/control/metadata.jsp
Created the logic for login. Basically, an entity called UserLogin is saved in the session and recovered by a "checker" to understand if an user is logged in. Suppose that this checker is a HTTP WebEvent handler which can be called by any resource requiring authentication.
Now, the problem. If redirect the user to a resource on SAMLIntegration (for example ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration/control/aview or any ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration/control/* by calling response.sendRedirect("aview")) check works and login is preserved. Visiting any resource (for example ofbizwebsite.com/aplugin/control/anotherview) by navigating the application does not preserve the session.
OFBiz use internally a mechanism for preserving the userLogin between webapps, by creating an HashMap between and UUID and a UserLogin object. The UUID is passed between two different resources, appending this key to each path (so ofbizwebsite.com/aplugin/control/anotherview?externalKey=THEEFFECTIVEUUID)
To my understanding, changing from ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration/control/* to ofbizwebsite.com/aplugin/control/* determine a session loss. So, my idea was to replace the UUID mechanism with SAML2. However, I do not know how to solve this problem.
In particular, I would like to execute a SAML request each time the checker function is executed. If I can't find the user in the session, a SAML request is fired. However, my problem is HOW to manage the response. Normally, I would redirect it to the acs ofbizwebsite.com/SAMLIntegration/control/acs. Doing so, however, does not allow me to handle the response in the checker function, as the control is passed to another servlet by an external request (the SAML response fired by the IdP). Should I provide a different acs for each different path? (so one for SAMLIntegration and one for aplugin?) And, even if this was the case, how can I return the control to the checker function which has invoked the SAML request?
Here you go for installing the Shibboleth HTTPD module: https://pad.nereide.fr/SAMLWithShibboleth
You also need this method somewhere in OFBiz (I recommend LoginWorker.java, but you can put it where you want). It allows to use the externalAuthId of the userLogin for authentication, with the uid returned by the sso:
public static String checkShibbolethRequestRemoteUserLogin(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
LocalDispatcher dispatcher = (LocalDispatcher) request.getAttribute("dispatcher");
Delegator delegator = dispatcher.getDelegator();
// make sure the user isn't already logged in
if (!LoginWorker.isUserLoggedIn(request)) {
String remoteUserId = (String) request.getAttribute("uid"); // This is the one which works, uid at Idp, remoteUserId here
if (UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(remoteUserId)) {
//we resolve if the user exist with externalAuthId
String userLoginId = null;
GenericValue userLogin;
try {
List<GenericValue> userLogins = delegator.findList("UserLogin",
EntityCondition.makeConditionMap("externalAuthId", remoteUserId, "enabled", "Y"),
null, null, null, true);
userLogin = userLogins.size() == 1 ? userLogins.get(0) : null;
} catch (GenericEntityException e) {
Debug.logError(e, module);
return "error";
}
if (userLogin != null) {
userLoginId = userLogin.getString("userLoginId");
}
//now try to log the user found
return LoginWorker.loginUserWithUserLoginId(request, response, userLoginId);
}
}
return "success";
}
You also need to have this method as an OFBiz preprocessor in the webapp controllers. I suggest to have a look at common-controller.xml.
Finally you need the configs that redirect to the SSO page if no session. That should do the job, at least it works for them...
Finally I recommend https://www.varonis.com/blog/what-is-saml in case of need.
I have a standalone Google Apps Script deployed as a web app. The app is executed as me, because I want it to access files stored on my Drive, and because I want it to generate Google Sheets files that have some ranges protected from the user that are still editable by the script. However, I want these files to be segregated into folders, and each folder is assigned to a user, so I need to know who the user is each time the app runs.
Session.getActiveUser().getEmail() doesn't work since the web app is deployed as me and not as the user. My other thought was to make the app "available to everyone, even anonymous" (right now it's just "available to everyone") to skip Google's login screen, and use some kind of third-party authentication service or script. Building my own seems like overkill because this seems like it should already exist, but so far my research has only turned up things like Auth0 which seem incompatible with my simple Google Apps Script-based app, or else I'm too inexperienced to figure out how to use them.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to authenticate users for this kind of web app? Preferably something that comes with a beginner-friendly tutorial or documentation? Or, is there another way for me to find out who's running the app while still executing it as myself?
I am so new to this I'm not even sure I'm asking this question in the right way, so suggested edits are taken gratefully.
I can think of two ways you might approach this where the Web App is deployed to execute as the user accessing it:
Scenario A: Create a service-account to access files stored on your Drive and to generate google sheets.
Scenario B: Create a separate Apps Script project deployed as an API Executable and call its functions from the main Web App.
These methods are viable but there are a number of pros and cons to each.
Both require OAuth2 authentication, but that bit is fairly easy to handle thanks to Eric Koleda's OAuth2 library.
Also, in both scenarios, you'll need to bind/link your main Apps Script project to a GCP project and enable the appropriate services, in your case Google Sheets and Google Drive APIs (see documentation for more details).
For Scenario A, the service account must be created under the same GCP project. For Scenario B, the secondary Apps Script project for the API executable must also be bound to the same GCP project.
Issues specific to Scenario A
You'll need to share the files and folders you want to access/modify (and/or create content in) with the service account. The service account has it own email address and you can share google drive files/folders with it as you would with any other gmail account.
For newly created content, permissions could be an issue, but thankfully files created under a folder inherit that folder's permissions so you should be good on that front.
However, you'll have to use the REST APIs for Drive and Sheets services directly; calling them via UrlFetch along with the access token (generated using the OAuth2 library) for the Service Account.
Issues specific to Scenario B
You'll need to setup a separate Apps Script project and build out a public API (collection of non-private functions) that can be called by a 3rd party.
Once the script is bound to the same GCP project as the main Web App, you'll need to generate extra OAuth2 credentials from GCP console under the IAM (Identity Access Management) panel.
You'll use the Client ID and Client Secret, to generate a refresh token specific to your account (using the OAuth2 library). Then you'll use this refresh token in your main Web App to generate the requisite access token for the API executable (also using the OAuth2 library). As in the previous scenario, you'll need to use UrlFetch to invoke the methods on the API Executable using the generated access token.
One thing to note, you cannot use triggers within the API executable code as they are not allowed.
Obviously, I've glossed over a lot of the details but that should be enough to get you started.
Best of luck.
Now that I've implemented TheAddonDepot's suggested Scenario B successfully, I wanted to share a few details that might help other newbies.
Here's what the code in my web app project looks like:
function doGet(e) {
// Use user email to identify user folder and pass to var data
var userEmail = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
// Check user email against database to fetch user folder name and level of access
var userData = executeAsMe('getUserData', [userEmail]);
console.log(userData);
var appsScriptService = getAppsScriptService();
if (!appsScriptService.hasAccess()) { // This block should only run once, when I authenticate as myself to create the refresh token.
var authorizationUrl = appsScriptService.getAuthorizationUrl();
var htmlOutput = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('Authorize.');
htmlOutput.setTitle('FMID Authentication');
return htmlOutput;
} else {
var htmlOutput = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Index');
htmlOutput.setTitle('Web App Page Title');
if (userData == 'user not found') {
var data = { "userEmail": userEmail, "userFolder": null };
} else {
var data = { "userEmail": userData[0], "userFolder": userData[1] };
}
return appendDataToHtmlOutput(data, htmlOutput);
}
}
function appendDataToHtmlOutput(data, htmlOutput, idData) { // Passes data from Google Apps Script to HTML via a hidden div with id=idData
if (!idData)
idData = "mydata_htmlservice";
// data is encoded after stringifying to guarantee a safe string that will never conflict with the html
var strAppend = "<div id='" + idData + "' style='display:none;'>" + Utilities.base64Encode(JSON.stringify(data)) + "</div>";
return htmlOutput.append(strAppend);
}
function getAppsScriptService() { // Used to generate script OAuth access token for API call
// See https://github.com/gsuitedevs/apps-script-oauth2 for documentation
// The OAuth2Service class contains the configuration information for a given OAuth2 provider, including its endpoints, client IDs and secrets, etc.

return OAuth2.createService('appsScript')
// Set the endpoint URLs, which are the same for all Google services.
.setAuthorizationBaseUrl('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth')
.setTokenUrl('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token')

.setClientId('[client ID]')
.setClientSecret('[client secret]')

// Consent prompt is required to ensure a refresh token is always

.setParam('prompt', 'consent');
}
function authCallback(request) { // This should only run once, when I authenticate as WF Analyst to create the refresh token.
var appsScriptService = getAppsScriptService();
var isAuthorized = appsScriptService.handleCallback(request);
if (isAuthorized) {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('Success! You can close this tab.');
} else {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('Denied. You can close this tab.');
}
}
function executeAsMe(functionName, paramsArray) {
try {
console.log('Using Apps Script API to call function ' + functionName.toString() + ' with parameter(s) ' + paramsArray.toString());
var url = '[API URL]';

}
I generated the OAuth2 credentials at https://console.cloud.google.com/ under APIs & Services > Credentials > Create Credentials > OAuth Client ID, selecting "Web application". I had to add 'https://script.google.com/macros/d/[some long ID]/usercallback' as an authorized redirect URI, but I apologize as I did this two weeks ago and can't remember how I figured out what to use there :/ Anyway, this is where you get the client ID and client secret used in function getAppsScriptService() to generate the access token.
The other main heads up I wanted to leave here for others is that while Google Apps Scripts can run for 6 minutes before timing out, URLFetchApp.fetch() has a 60s timeout, which is a problem when using it to call a script via the API that takes more than 60s to execute. The Apps Script you call will still finish successfully in the background, so you just have to figure out how to handle your timeout error and call a follow-up function to get whatever the original function should have returned. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but here's the question I asked (and answered) on that issue.
I tried to integrate external soap based api using servicenow client side scipt options. My intention is to initiate an external api call when an incident is created.
But i am getting uncaught reference error sn_ws is not defined exception.
function onSubmit() {
try {
var s = new sn_ws.SOAPMessageV2('global.IQTrack', 'VerifyApiKey');
s.setStringParameterNoEscape('VerifyApiKey.apiKey', 'dfghdhgdjh');
var response = s.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var status = response.getStatusCode();
}
catch(ex) {
alert(ex);
}
}
Is this the way to initiate api call? If it is so why it is getting sn_ws is not defined.
That's because sn_ws is a server-side API.
You need to either use GlideAjax, or a client-side webservices API such as XMLHttpRequest.
You can find an excellent article on GlideAjax, here: http://snprotips.com/blog/2016/2/6/gliderecord-client-side-vs-server-side
If your aim is to initiate the message once a ticket is created, then you should definitely be doing this server-side, not in a client script.
I hope,sn_ws is a server-side API.
I think GlideAjax method will help you to get rid of this issues.
please go through below links,I think it will help you to sort out this issues.
http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=GlideAjax#gsc.tab=0
And alternative is use client-side webservices API like XMLHttpRequest
I'm busy writing a test harness that will validate a REST API I've been developing. In the normal usage the my REST API will be used by a Web application that is secured and authenticated by OneLogin. My test harness will therefore have to use OneLogin to authenticate before I can call my own functions. I'm struggling to understand the right workflow for logging through an API as my test harness does not have a browser. So far I've got:
Request an Authentication Token using the Client Id and Secret (https://developers.onelogin.com/api-docs/1/oauth20-tokens/generate-tokens)
Request a Session Token using the Authentication Token, Sub-Domain, user name and password (https://developers.onelogin.com/api-docs/1/users/create-session-login-token)
I'm not quite sure what do do with the Session Token. I suspect I might have to create a session (https://developers.onelogin.com/api-docs/1/users/create-session-via-token) but that appears to be using a different URL.
Any ideas?
Updated:
Here is the code that I'm using for that final step. I pass in the Session Token obtained in the previous step.
/** see https://developers.onelogin.com/api-docs/1/users/create-session-via-token */
public void createSession(String sessionToken) {
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("https://admin.us.onelogin.com/session_via_api_token");
List<NameValuePair> postParameters = new ArrayList<>();
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("session_token", sessionToken));
try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build()) {
HttpEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters);
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
int status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
System.out.println(status);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The status code returned is 302 and the response headers contain Location: https://<my-company>.onelogin.com.
I'm taking this to mean that the last call has failed for some reason and I'm being redirected back to the log-in page.
You suspect right.
Basically, after your server makes the back-channel requests for the token, you have to hand the token off via the front channel (user's browser) so you can establish a session, get cookies, etc... using the session_via_api_token 'endpoint' (which is a totally different sort of API from the ones to get the token in the first place)
I'm using Swiftmailer to send emails in my Yii based application and it works great, so there is no problems with the Swiftmailer extension wrapper. But now I want to use the SMPT transport to authenticate the users in my application against the mail server. The code I'm using:
$SM = Yii::app()->swiftMailer;
$mailHost = 'XXX';
$mailPort = XXX;
// New transport
$transport = $SM->smtpTransport($mailHost, $mailPort);
$transport->setUsername($username);
$transport->setPassword($password);
$transport->start();
if($transport->isStarted()){
// authenticated;
}else{
// error;
}
$transport->stop();
This isn't working. When I set real login credentials instantly logs in. But when I type wrong ones, it spends some time but at last it logs in too. I don't know why this happens because just when using real credentials Swiftmailer can send emails.
I'm using the right API functions? I'm doing something wrong?
Looking at the source, when you call start(), started is always set to True.
I'm not familiar with switfmailer, but it looks like you'll want to check the results of authenticate()
