Add support for Google Apps
Hello. I'm using gmvault v1.8.1 beta on Windows XP SP2 machine. I have problems using the two legged oauth with my corporte google apps accounts. I send you the details:
gmvault sync [email protected] --2-legged-oauth -d G:\gmvault-db\db\[email protected]
Use gmvault-db located in G:\gmvault-db\db\[email protected].
Activate Gmvault db cleaning. Authentication performed with Gmail XOAuth token.
Get XOAuth credential from ./.gmvault/[email protected].
Successfully read oauth credentials.
Connect to Gmail server.
Error: Unsupported AUTHENTICATE mechanism. ub8mb14320060wib.
=== Exception traceback === Traceback (most recent call last): File "gmv\gmv_cmd.pyc", line 759, in run File "gmv\gmv_cmd.pyc", line 667, in _sync File "gmv\gmvault.pyc", line 258, in init File "gmv\imap_utils.pyc", line 285, in connect File "gmv\mod_imap.pyc", line 244, in xoauth_login File "imaplib.pyc", line 351, in authenticate error: Unsupported AUTHENTICATE mechanism. ub8mb14320060wib
=== End of Exception traceback ===
I have also tried the new version v1.9, but in the new version doesn't exist the --2-legged-oauth parameter.
Thank's for your help!
2-legged-oauth doesn't exist anymore (as Oauth1 is gone) to allow syncing for an entire googleapps domain. However there is a way to solve the issue with a private key. I need to implement and test it. I hope to have it done and ready within one to two weeks.
There is no quick work around as I need to implement the access to the business google apps. I am working on it and will try to release something fairly quickly.

A work around would be useful, did you find one?

One workaround is to use the --passwd option, which works with a Google Apps domain on v1.9. Of course this requires that you have the password for the account, which might not be the case in a corporate deployment.
Would that work, on a normal google account?
How is the fix coming along?
@danward79 Not sure if you are asking me or @gaubert, but the --passwd flag will let gmvault work with any account that you have the password for: consumer Gmail or Google Apps for Work. I just used it for a Gmail->GAfW account transition, and it worked fine.
@gaubert have you been able to get anywhere with the private key authentication method? I need to migrate a few hundred mailboxes from one google apps domain to another and if I could use this that would be perfect.
@danward79 @rbrewer @yaroshevych This is the last thing to tackle in gmv1.9.1 before release. I will try to work on it in the following weeks.

Is there some documentation on how to use the google apps support for domain wide use? The only thing I see so far is you have to authorize it as each individual user. Was the private key method implemented?
Has there been any progress on this? I too am looking for a solution where all accounts of an entire Google Apps domain can be backed up.
I am not a Python programmer, but is there any way I can help in taking this to closure?
@shireeshj @brownrc I suggest opening a new issue, because this one (getting Google Apps to work after the removal of 2-legged-oauth) is solved. What you're describing seems to be a different (backing up an entire domain).
you are right. It works for a single google apps account without a hitch.
I'll log another issue for the domain wide feature. Thanks
