OAUTH2.0 GMAIL

[Martin Obongita]

 Hi Paul,
I hope you are fine.
I followed your instructions given below and the smtp authorizes and logs in to my GMAIL and is able to start the process.  But I get errors in the result tab with error code 67 error info "login denied". The error log says, username and password not accepted. Yet I have counter checked & with confirmation the password and user are correct.
We are almost there. Any further help on error 67?
Regards,Martin.

 Hi Martin,
Are you talking about the SMTP OW3 Worker sample library?  If so, then going from memory I think that the sequence is:- Open the window (if you currently have it open, then close it)- Check "Use OAuth2"- Click the "OAuth2" tab- Enter Client ID, Client Secret, (you need to set these up in the Google Developer Console)- Enter Authorisation URL (eg https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth), Access Token URL (eg https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token), Scope (eg https://mail.google.com/)- Go back to the "Server connection" tab- Click "Authorize" -> this should open a browser window where you sign onto Google and allow you authorise to send- Click the "Server connection" tab again- Enter your from email address (username) and email password- Click on the "message" tab and enter from/to- Click on the "subject" tab and enter the message body- click "Start".
I know that you if you click Start first and then try to authorise it gets upset.  I just stepped through these instructions and they seemed to work for me - Studio 10.22 build 31896.
RegardsPaul.

 Hi all,
I have managed to get the clientID, clientSecret and the accessToken for the OAUTH2. I update the entry fields. I then mark on Use AUTH2 then click on Authorize button. I get the error authorize() cannot run while the OAUTH2Worker object is assigned to the $aouth2 property of an OW3 worker.

Where can I get the $aouth2 property? Where can I get the OAUTH2 object class?

Regards

 Hi Martin,
We did this recently for one of our clients.  They use gmail for their primary setup.
In the past, you could use the SMTP settings to send using Gmail's smtp server.  However, they started restricting how that was accessed in a bid to increase security. They then introduced "application specific passwords", which allowed you to create a password for your particular application that allowed you to send using Gmail's smtp server.  I'm not sure if that's an option any longer, I think that was discontinued in the recent past.  The only option to send email via Gmail is using the OAuth method.
To do that, you need to setup some stuff at Google's end to permit OAuth - what you're actually doing is accessing Google's Gmail APIs to send/receive email.  Here's the link to Google's documentation to do this: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2
It's a difficult thing to setup, but here are the basic steps:- You need a google developer account.  It's been a while since we did this, but think if you have a google account you can just go to console.cloud.google.com and it should allow you do setup what you need- Create a new google project- Enable the "Gmail API"- Create credentials - use the OAuth client ID option-> this will give you a client ID and a client secret
Once you have these, the OAuth example in Omnis will work - you use the client ID and secret, it will ask you to sign into your google account and authorise, then redirect you back to your app.
We had a few false starts and did things out of sequence which required us to start over - 
If this all sounds too hard (and it is!) then you should consider using a mail service like SMTP2Go, or Twillio SendGrid - they allow you to send email via their service.  Again, there will be some setup required, but probably a lot less effort than google!
Regards,Paul.

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to setup smtpsend sample library with OAUTH2.0 with a gmail server?
Question 1: When is it necessary to use Oauth with Gmail?Question 2: Which is the best sample libraries HTTP, IMAP, POP and SMTP to work with gmail?Question 3: Is there a way to setup a complete emailing utility with Omnis so that I can have sent items, incoming emails? Where can I get such a sample library? Or instead, it's just best to store emails in the database and mark them as either sent or pending?
Any useful leads will be apprieciated.
Kind regards,Martin Obongita.
