Invalid User Credentials error no matter which arguments I enter
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I tried at least 20 different combinations of host, domain, webspace,
username and password but every time I get "Invalid User Credentials".
1. I run the Jar file and enter in the host domain and webspace.
2. My site is http://sites.google.com/a/lilybclayton.org/www so I put
host=sites.google.com domain=lilybclayton.org, webspace=www
For username I tried including just my user id and also adding the domain
to the end but either way it does not work.
I am using Google Apps so it looks like domain is required.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am trying to export a copy of my web site.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest version 1.0.1 on Windows XP. I just downloaded Java 1.6 today
since I got other errors with Java 1.5.
Please provide any additional information below.

here is my site - http://sites.google.com/site/valushop
and I tried several combinations but I keep geeting invalid credentials error.

Same problem here. I'm using 1.0.1 on Linux with Sun Java 6 runtime.
Original comment by [email protected] on 5 Mar 2010 at 5:31
Finally I was able to make it work -
Host: sites.google.com
Domain: site
Webspace: <<name which you registered with google sites>>. In my case, its
valushop
Username: google account name, try adding @gmail.com
Password
2 Important things to note -
Export- downloads the files from google.
Secondly, This program does not work through firewall. So if you have a proxy
setting to access internet, it won't work. It did not work from my office m/c.

Hi I have the exact same problem. I tried all combinations for domain,
username, webspace and all I get is Invalid credentials. I tried on XP-Java1.6
and Mac with Java 1.6 with and without proxy, I still have the same problem. I
have a domain name.
Please advice..

Hey great, finally got it to work - I would suggest making the import and
export buttons clearer - took me ages to work it out.
(how about 'download from net' and 'upload to net' ?)

Hi!
I notice the same problem reported in comment #4:
http://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42#c4
Seems like there is no way to make it work under a proxy: I always get "Invalid
User Credentials".
My version is 1.0.4.
Also, it would be nice to have a way to report any error in more detail (a
stack trace, for example).
Thanks!

I was able to the tool to work through our corporate proxy for our corporate
apps domain (https). To enable proxy support, launch the jar file from the
command line, with the additional proxy parameters.
Example:
java -Dhttps.proxyHost=your.proxy.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=1080
google-sites-liberation-1.0.4.jar

If you have 2-step verification turn on for your account it will interrupt the
export process.
So turn off 2-step verification just to export (then turn it back on) or create
a new gmail account, add it as an owner of the site, and complete the export
with that account's details.
Original comment by [email protected] on 5 Apr 2013 at 3:30
I had problems until I realised that 2-step verification was turned on for my
account. As in comment #17 the UI complains of Invalid Credentials and there
is no clue that access is being blocked by Google's 2-step verification
process. Here's another way to deal with this without turning 2-step
verification off or creating a new account. First of all sign into the google
account in question, navigate to security, 2-step verification, manage your
application-specific passwords. Then generate a new application-specific
password specifically for google-sites-liberation. You'll need to keep this
page open so you can copy this into the password box of the
google-sites-liberation UI (cut&paste didn't work for me so I had to copy it by
eye&hand).
Then to dump data from the site https://sites.google.com/site/mywebspace/ I use:
Host: sites.google.com
Domain: site
Webspace: mywebspace
Import/Export Revisions: unchecked
Username: <myusername>@gmail.com
Password: <myapplicationspecificpassword>
That's it : thanks for a Really Useful piece of code!

Thanks very much to Mattda for the 2 step verification advice which worked
nicely

If you still have problem, check this link, and enable the less security access
of your account, you can disable it after you export your sites.

For people with 2-step authentication :
Steps described by patrick worked great :

(Setting another account as owner and using this account didn't work for me.)

At last !..... thanks to #23; after enabling less secure access the import

This still appears to be an issue with 1.0.4 on Linux.
I have a Google Apps-hosted site and therefore I don't have the "less secure
access" option. I've followed all the above instructions and I'm certain that
my settings are correct.
Is this tool still supported for Google Apps customers?
Original comment by [email protected] on 1 Jun 2015 at 12:40
I've had a daily job running with 1.0.4 on Ubuntu Linux for months now which
exports my site using the command line.
I have a Google Apps site.
A few days ago I started seeing this error happening every time I attempt an
export:
Jun 02, 2015 3:00:04 AM com.google.sites.liberation.export.Main doMain
SEVERE: Invalid User Credentials!
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException: Error authenticating (check
service name)

Caused by: com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException: Error authenticating

at com.google.sites.liberation.export.Main.doMain(Main.java:79)
... 1 more
I had changed nothing - neither my login credentials nor the script.
Clearly Google has changed something on their end that has caused this to break.
Is anyone looking further into this issue?

I am a Google Apps user with 2-step authentication enabled, and I can't get
this to work anymore. I tried an Application Specific Password, but no luck.
Also as noted above the "Less Secure Apps" option is not available to Google
Apps customers.

Same here, used to work but now it's broken...

Same here. I had enabled less-secure-apps when that option first started
blocking access to google sites liberation. That solved the problem for a
while, but now the invalid-credentials error occurs even with less-secure-apps
enabled, so google sites liberation no longer works.

Same problem here, 2-step-validation enabled, tried all of the proceses posted
before but no luck

I've been fighting this for like a month now and Google hasn't helped at all.
I have a Google Apps site that cannot be exported anymore.
Reaching out asking if anybody has found a solution to the 'Invalid
Credentials' message of death?
Original comment by [email protected] on 30 Jun 2015 at 2:42
I have a Google Apps site. I have a daily cron job to do the export.
I started seeing the error at the start of June. It started working again June
13 - 23 but then it broke again June 24 and hasn't worked since.
Can anyone help?
Original comment by [email protected] on 30 Jun 2015 at 10:02
Same here. Changing setting
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps didn't help.
Original comment by [email protected] on 14 Jul 2015 at 9:14
It's broken for me too, and I've tried everything suggested in this thread
several times over. No luck. And I just got an automated e-mail saying someone
who knew my password was trying to log onto my account. Yep, Google, that
would be ME.
Very frustrating. I have a large website on Google Sites that I need to back
up.
Original comment by [email protected] on 23 Jul 2015 at 2:46
As a new user I though how open minded Google was with this facility, but it is
difficult to get it to work and I have not managed yet. Using Mac Os X 10.9.5
and Liberation 1.0.4.
My site is [email protected], but links to our old domain name of
cibra.co.za
It is NOT an Apps site.
I think i have tried all the work arounds I can find on the blogs.
Maybe I should just keep switching on and off like the standard IT help desk
response?
Original comment by [email protected] on 25 Jul 2015 at 3:14
Two and a half years later, and I still observe the same problem. A real web site would cost a bit more but at least I could back up and reload the contents.
