I know this question has been asked a thousand times before and I came across some topics here when doing some Google research about this.
My problem is: I get an Error 10002 - "Security header invalid". I checked the credentials and they are right. I use the live credentials for the live mode and am connecting to the right server and endpoint.
I am using a Paypal class written in PHP. When using it in Sandbox mode it works fine. If I am using it in live mode it shows the checkout as we know it: on the left the item and the total sum and on the right the login screen.
Now I log in with my Paypal account credentials and the API asks me to confirm the purchase. I do so. When it is at the point where it would execute the transaction and redirects to the "Purchase successful" page it suddenly says the above mentioned error.
So I did some testing on my machine with the sandbox account. Assuming that I would use invalid API credentials I would not ever see the checkout (on the left summary on the right login form). But I do. First if I confirm the transaction the API is not okay with the credentials anymore.
How can the credentials first be valid and later on they are invalid? This doesn't make any sense to me. When testing in Sandbox mode everything works fine.
I am using this library:
http://www.php-suit.com/paypal
Help would be highly appreciated as I can't find any explaination for that behaviour anymore. Again: I checked the credentials and they are right.
Best regards,

I'd recommend to double check again the API credentials or the endpoint used.
The error "Error 10002 - Security header invalid" is returned for these common reasons:
Providing the username/password to your actual PayPal account, instead of your API username and API password. We generate your API username and password when you generate your API certificate/signature.
Using the same API information for Sandbox and Live. You need to generate separate API information for your Sandbox and Live accounts.
You have not updated the endpoint to point to PayPal's live API servers.
Trailing or leading white space on any of the characters.
E.g. if you are using the Live Environment endpoint, make sure you are using the credentials created in the Live account. Double check for white spaces when you are pasting into your integration. If you are using the variable "SUBJECT" double check the value inserted.

I want to use the gmail api to update myself about the status of a programm I'm running locally 24/7. Basicly once a day it should send me a status report per email from the emailaccount I created just for this case to the same account.
I've got a project set up, the api enabled, got my credentials and created a token.json file. I managed to have it send me emails yada yada yada.
I concentrated on the further development of the programm for some time and then wanted to jump back to this to test out another feature where I wanted to implement a ping me feature. I'd send myself an email asking for a ping back just to check if my program is still running.
While doing that I noticed that my token expired. I tried reading into what I can do about that. Ideally I'd like to have the program just run autonomously. I read for my case that a service account would be ideal but after setting that all up and 2 hours later after a lot of errors I read that interacting with the gmail api with a service account is only open to workspace users since I can't delegate domain-wide authority without one.
So after some further reading I read that next to the access token I created I can refresh that token with refresh tokens. for that I was trying the request function noted in the quickstart tutorial:
if os.path.exists('token.json'):
creds = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file('token.json', SCOPES)
if not creds or not creds.valid:
if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
creds.refresh(Request())
now running creds.refresh(Request())
I get this error:
google.auth.exceptions.RefreshError: ('invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked.', {'error': 'invalid_grant', 'error_description': 'Token has been expired or revoked.'})
Upon further reading here I read that refesh tokens are only available to projects whose status is set to in progress and not in testing. Projects set to testing are required to have the user manually log in at least once a week which I don't want.
Now for me verifying my project doesn't make sense since I won't have any other users using my access to the gmail api and frankly I wouldn't want that either.
What are my options here to have the script running continuously without having to manually sign in once a week? Considering also that I will be at all times the only user.
Thank you,
Florens
Your still have a few options. For one, you could get a Google Workspace account. The lowest tier would set you back around $6 per user per month. This would allow you to publish the app as internal-only and you don't need to go through the verification process, but you can only use the app with the Workspace account. You can still send emails out to any addresses, though.
If you don't want to pay, you can still set your app to Published status and you do not necessarily have to go through the verification. There are some limitations, such as the app warning that shows up when signing in and a user cap of 100 users, but since you know that the app is safe and you don't need more users you can just ignore this, Google says so in their own documentation:
What app types are not applicable for verification?
Personal Use: The app is not shared with anyone else or will be used by fewer than 100 users. Hence, you can continue using the app by bypassing the unverified app warning during sign-in.
As you already know, the refresh token expires in 7 days only when the app status is set to "testing", so as long as you have it set as "In production" and ignore the unverified app warnings, you should be able to have a normal refresh token that you can use without needing to sign in every 7 days.
Just keep in mind that other users could have access to the app but if you're careful to keep your OAuth credentials to yourself that should not be an issue.

We have a code that logins to Sharepoint Online using :
https://login.microsoftonline.com/extSTS.srf or https://login.microsoftonline.com/RST2.srf, but recently we starting to get authentication failed saying that "Incorrect Username or Password" and after some retries it returns:
"0x80048823 message : AADSTS70002: Error validating credentials. AADSTS50053: You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect user ID or password."
While using same username and password to login in the browser works fine, and neither password or username were changed, also code didn't changed. As same code works fine for another Sharepoint tenants. Seems that something changed in the Microsoft login servers, where it's started to not accept user credentials, while web browser login works fine.
Please advise.
Thanks
Microsoft Rep has helped me get this far.
They had us create a "Cloud Only" user. This user was setup as "#" so if your name is bill and your corporate sharepoint site is name is FakeCompany.sharepoint.com then you would have the person as "bill#FakeCompany.onmicrosoft.com"
This user was able to login to https://login.microsoftonline.com/extSTS.srf by just passing username and password.
Our on prem AD users are still having issues, i mentioned this and got the following response.
There is no issue with sync as you are able to login to portal using the same account and password.
The solution you need is documented in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/configure-authentication-for-federated-users-portal#enable-direct-authentication-for-legacy-applications
You need to create a home realm discovery (HRD) policy where "AllowCloudPasswordValidation":true.
We have not yet implemented the last solution but the creating of a cloud account may help some of you.
So I think I understand what they are trying to say. There are 2 paths that you are able to authenticate with according to the node-sp-auth example.
"Managed" and "Federated"
"Managed" was the easier version and allowed for you to be able to just provide username and credentials in a soap assertion to login.
Federated is a lot more complicated. You need to first perform a post to Microsoft to validate the user hitting your adfs server. https://adfs.XXXXXXX.com/adfs/services/trust/13/usernamemixed
Then you take the saml:Assertion from that response and put it into the "Token" section of the call you make to https://login.microsoftonline.com/extSTS.srf utilizing the templates from the node-sp-auth.
I have C# code that performs all these steps but I am getting an error
AADSTS70002: Error validating credentials. AADSTS50008: SAML token is invalid. AADSTS50006: Invalid signature. Signature verification failed.
Even though the signature is being generated by Microsoft in their SAML.
node-sp-auth code refrence is OnlineUserCredential.ts file.
If someone can figure out the last mile I can post a comprehensive C# solution.
First, I'd like to mention that problems like this had been discussed before in the topics like:
How to authenticate user with just a Google account on Actions on Google?
But I could not find any information at all related to ways of linking Google Assistant app with my own web server.
Problem:
GET https://oauth-redirect.googleusercontent.com/r/my-google-assistant-app#access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&token_type=bearer&state=STATE always returns "Account field to link" error
A Way to Reproduce:
I created a new project in Actions on Google Console
I built an application using Dialogflow
I created a Heroku Web Server as my webhook (ex: webhook.herokuapp.com)
So everything worked just fine. I've successfully connected my Google Assistant app with my webhook.
But then I decided to send requests to my another one Heroku Web Server (ex: webserver.herokuapp.com) which needs a user to be logged in. So I decided to implement account linking of my Google Assistant app with webserver.herokuapp.com
I implemented Google-OAuth2 authorization at webserver.herokuapp.com. Also I want to mention that I used Client ID and Client Secret of my Google Assistant App
So, Google Authorization worked perfectly at my webserver.herokuapp.com
Then I enabled account linking settings for my Google Assistant app with Implicit Flow
So, that's it!
Epilogue
I open Google Assistant, tell it "Talk to my test app", then it greets me and offers me to link accounts. I say "yes".
Then I see how Google Assistant requests my login URL at webserver.herokuapp.com. Then I enter my Google email and password. As a result I logged in at my webserver! Then my webserver makes a redirection to:
https://oauth-redirect.googleusercontent.com/r/my-google-assistant-app#access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&token_type=bearer&state=STATE
And I get the error I've described at the top of my post.
Any help would be appreciated
UPDATE with parameter information
These are my constants:
Google Assistant Project_ID = nodejs-sdk-local-test
Google Assistant Client_ID = 1067979601708-ldr3ga115es3fdo823slfnj46gjoes66.apps.googleusercontent.com
state = manually_set_state_value
The flow is I open my Google Assistant and say "Ok Google, talk to my test app", it answers my request and then I say something like "do some action which need authorization". Google Assistant app offers me to link an account and I say "Yes".
This is where Google Assistant app makes a call to my https://webserver.herokuapp.com/google-oauth2 endpoint. A purpose of this endpoint is to redirect me to the Google Login Page.
Now I'm being redirected to the Google Login Page (everything seems to be correct. client_id and state parameters are similar to the constants). This is the example of an URL where I am being redirected to: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=1067979601708-ldr3ga115es3fdo823slfnj46gjoes66.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http://webserver.herokuapp.com/complete/google-oauth2/&state=manually_set_state_value&response_type=code&scope=openid+email+profile
At the Google Login Page I enter my credentials and then I'm being redirected to the redirect_uri=http://webserver.herokuapp.com/complete/google-oauth2 endpoint. A purpose of this endpoint is to register or login me at webserver.herokuapp.com and then redirect me to another Google URL. An example of the Google URL: https://oauth-redirect.googleusercontent.com/r/nodejs-sdk-local-test#access_token=<token_omitted>&token_type=bearer&state=manually_set_state_value
So it seems that everything is correct. I logged in to my webserver.herokuapp.com, got an access token. Also project_id and state parameter in the last Google URL are similar to constants. Anyway, this Google URL returns me an error "Accounts failed to link"!
The most common cause of this is that you're not passing back the same value for state that was sent to you when Google redirected to your site. Make sure this is the same value and, for your security, make sure you validate the other parameters that are sent to you as well.
When the user is redirected to https://webserver.herokuapp.com/google-oauth2, there should be some parameters sent as part of the query. Those parameters include a state parameter. It should look something like this:
https://myservice.example.com/auth?client_id=GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&state=STATE_STRING&response_type=token
Note that while the client_id and redirect_uri are values that you should expect and test for, the state value is not one that you would have set. Google generates a different one every time. This is the state that you should be using later when you redirect to
https://oauth-redirect.googleusercontent.com/r/nodejs-sdk-local-test#access_token=<token_omitted>&token_type=bearer&state=STATE_STRING
I’ve followed this tutorial https://apiai-aws-heroku-nodejs-bots.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/steps-for-apiai-and-google-account.html but when I go and grab by debugging URL which happens to be https://assistant.google.com/services/auth/handoffs/auth/start?provider=allergology-5fa9c_dev&scopes=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.resource.calendar&return_url=https://www.google.com/ and paste it into a new window I get Error 500 but no explanation.
I also tried from an incognito window. It does ask for my email and password but then returns the same error.
I’ve used Implicit Grant Type and I don’t have Add quick account linking enabled please ket me know if that’s not right?
When I try the CURL URL I get the message {“status”:{“code”:401,“errorType”:“unauthorized”,“errorDetails”:“Authentication parameters missing”}}
UPDATE - now when I try the basic Talk to Allergology action on the simulator I don’t even get the debug info anymore, but the message “Sorry this action is not available in simulation” :frowning:
Could you please help?
thanks

I've managed to work out what I need to do by following this answer How to authenticate user with just a Google account on Actions on Google?
In my case - Configure your project (in the cloud console) so that the Calendar API is enabled and that the OAuth2 client is correctly configured.
I also switched from Implicit Grant Type to Authorisation Code.
My app is almost working, I am now having other issues, but at some point the Access Token was coming through with the request.
So for a while I've been relying on the PLAIN support for logging into Google's IMAP server in my email client. Recently they started blocking that and return an error (despite listing it as a supported authentication method).
For instance take this example:
Connected to 'imap.gmail.com:993' using SSL
A0001 CAPABILITY
* OK Gimap ready for requests from ##.##.##.## cd6mb38777249ieb
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 XYZZY SASL-IR AUTH=XOAUTH2 AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=PLAIN-CLIENTTOKEN AUTH=XOAUTH
A0001 OK Thats all she wrote! cd6mb38777249ieb
A0002 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
+
####################################
* NO [WEBALERT https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbszktZSU6iVmh...snip....] Web login required.
A0002 NO [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: http://support.google.com/mail/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 (Failure)
SSL connection closed.
ScribeImap_Thread.cpp:647 - Connect to imap.gmail.com:993 failed.
I've tried opening the "https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn..." URL in my browser:
And I get redirected to https://myaccount.google.com/ but the next login attempt fails as well. So it doesn't seem to change the authentication at all.
Is the PLAIN authentication just blocked completely or am I doing it wrong?
Alternatively is there a authentication method that works and DOESN'T need a browser component to log in? (XOAUTH2 seems to need a web login as well)
It's pretty official:
http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/a-final-farewell-to-clientlogin-oauth.html
They have shut off PLAIN login completely and it's not coming back.
So there are two options:
Turn on "less secure apps".
Implement OAUTH2.
I've decided to implement OAUTH2 support (which isn't too far off working actually). Initially I thought I would need an embedded browser component in my app, but it turns out that I can launch the system browser and the user can copy the token across in a some what manual process.
Interestingly for those working on OAUTH2 support in their software, Google have setup a playground to see the whole process in practice:
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
I see that this is an old post, but after fighting with Outlook for over a year to get my mail, I FINALLY got it working again.
The first thing I had to do was log into my my Gmail account and turn off the button labeled "Less secure apps" as Outlook is in that category.
Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account.
Next to "Access for less secure apps," selectTurn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)
And if you have 2-step verification on (as I did), it will still make Outlook fail. So the next thing you have to do is create an app password which will generate a password for you, and you use that in Outlook for it to sync correctly.
Visit your App password page. You may be asked to sign in to your Google Account.
At the bottom, click Select app and choose the app you’re using.
Click Select device and choose the device you’re using.
Since Outlook will not be listed, select Other and type in Outlook for future reference.
Select Generate.
Follow the instructions to enter the App password (the 16 character code in the yellow bar) on your device.
Select Done.
Copy the password that was generated.
Open Outlook and paste the password in the Password section. DO NOT use your regular password.
Your mail will sync without anymore issues. (Hopefully)
Once you are finished, you won’t see that App password code again. However, you will see a list of apps and devices you’ve created App passwords for.
I hope this helps everyone who is having an issue. And I hope these directions are easy to follow! Good luck everyone! :-)
