I'm working on a project in C++ to backup and restore email on Microsoft Exchange servers, I'm trying to write automated tests for the restore function. Right now I can create test users, databases, and mailboxes, and can send email between users through the Exchange Admin Powershell. However, Exchange doesn't have commandlets to view or delete emails (as far as I can tell). Is there a way to do that with straight Exchange commandlets?
I haven't found a way, so instead I'm looking for an IMAP API that I can add to the project to enable viewing and deleting emails. Free would be ideal, but it can't be licensed with GPL. Is there an IMAP API for C++ that doesn't have GPL? Is there an avenue to programatically view and delete emails I haven't tried yet?
EDIT: Honestly I'm not too fussy on how it gets done, I just need a way to do it. I'm open to any suggestions.

Search-Mailbox can delete messages.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633455(v=exchg.150).aspx
ExportMailboxRequest and ImportMailboxRequest cmdlets do most of the heavy lifting for importing and exporting data.
Why do you need to read messages? Powershell can also do client side scripts using Outlook library commands.
EDIT
Put a 'magic phrase' in your test email. "MagicRainbowUnicorn".
Delete a message
Search-Mailbox -Identity "TestMailbox" -SearchQuery 'MagicRainbowUnicorn' -DeleteContent
Test for message
Switch ((Search-Mailbox -Identity "TestMailbox" -SearchQuery 'MagicRainbowUnicorn').count) {
0 { "No Results Found" }
1 { "One Result" }
default { "More than One, or some other strange Result" }
}
I don't have enough reputation to comment, but could you consume Exchange Web Services with C++? I wrote a few programs in C# that use EWS for monitoring mailboxes. I had the ability to view and delete messages from Exchange.
[Edit]
This is a sample of what I used in C#, if you decide to use that instead of C++. Or maybe it'll help steer you in a good direction.
using Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data;
ExchangeService svc = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010);
svc.Credentials = new WebCredentials("user#domain.com", "password");
svc.AutodiscoverUrl("user#domain.com");
// loop through messages in Inbox
foreach (EmailMessage msg in svc.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(int.MaxValue)))
{
// do stuff with message
}

The issues are when I am trying to run federated authentication with the help of amplify auth method on the browser it works fine, but when I try to run it on my mobile.
It throws error No user found when I try to use Auth.currentSession() but the same work on the browser.
tried to search about this type of issue but I found related to ionic-cordova-google-plugin not related to AWS Amplify Federated Login Issue.
Updating the question after closing the question with less debugging information without asking for any information.
This is issues raised in git hub with respect to my problem.
Issue No. 5351 amplify js it's still in open state.
https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/5351
Another issue 3537 which is still in Open
These two issues has the same scenario like me, I hope its enough debugging information, if more required mention comment instead of closing without notification, it's bullying for a beginner not helping
I fixed the above problem by referring a comment or wrapped around fix.
Link that will take to that comment directly link to comment.
First read the above comment as it will give you overall idea of what exactly the issue is instead of directly jumping to the solution.
Once you read the comment you will be little unclear with respect to implementation as he has use capacitor and not every one are using capacitor.
In my implementation I ignore this part as I am not using capacitor.
App.addListener('appUrlOpen')
Now lets go to main step where we are fixing this issue, I am using deep links to redirect to my application
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
this.deeplinks
.route({
"/success.html": "success",
"/logout.html": "logout",
})
.subscribe(
(match: any) => {
const fragment = JSON.stringify(match).split('"fragment":"')[1];
// this link can be your any link based on your requirement,
// what I am doing it I am passing all the data which I get in my fragments.
// fragments consists of id_token, stage, code,response type.
// These need to be passed to Ionic in order for Amplify to run its magic.
document.location.href = `http://192.168.1.162:8100/#${fragment}`;
},
(nomatch) => {
console.log("Got a deeplink that didn't match", nomatch);
}
);
});
I got this idea by referring the issue in which the developer mentioned of sending code and state along with application deep linking URL.
Our organization wants to develop a "LOST & FOUND System Application" using chatbot integrated in a website.
Whenever the user starts the conversation with the chatbot, the chatbot should ask the details of lost item or item found and it should store the details in database.
How can we do it ?
And can we use our own web-service because organization doesn't want to keep the database in Amazon's Server.
As someone who just implemented this very same situation (with a lot of help from #Sid8491), I can give some insight on how I managed it.
Note, I'm using C# because that's what the company I work for uses.
First, the bot requires input from the user to decide what intent is being called. For this, I implemented a PostText call to the Lex API.
PostTextRequest lexTextRequest = new PostTextRequest()
{
BotName = botName,
BotAlias = botAlias,
UserId = sessionId,
InputText = messageToSend
};
try
{
lexTextResponse = await awsLexClient.PostTextAsync(lexTextRequest);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new BadRequestException(ex);
}
Please note that this requires you to have created a Cognito Object to authenticate your AmazonLexClient (as shown below):
protected void InitLexService()
{
//Grab region for Lex Bot services
Amazon.RegionEndpoint svcRegionEndpoint = Amazon.RegionEndpoint.USEast1;
//Get credentials from Cognito
awsCredentials = new CognitoAWSCredentials(
poolId, // Identity pool ID
svcRegionEndpoint); // Region
//Instantiate Lex Client with Region
awsLexClient = new AmazonLexClient(awsCredentials, svcRegionEndpoint);
}
After we get the response from the bot, we use a simple switch case to correctly identify the method we need to call for our web application to run. The entire process is handled by our web application, and we use Lex only to identify the user's request and slot values.
//Call Amazon Lex with Text, capture response
var lexResponse = await awsLexSvc.SendTextMsgToLex(userMessage, sessionID);
//Extract intent and slot values from LexResponse
string intent = lexResponse.IntentName;
var slots = lexResponse.Slots;
//Use LexResponse's Intent to call the appropriate method
switch (intent)
{
case: /*Your intent name*/:
/*Call appropriate method*/;
break;
}
After that, it is just a matter of displaying the result to the user. Do let me know if you need more clarification!
UPDATE:
An example implementation of the slots data to write to SQL (again in C#) would look like this:
case "LostItem":
message = "Please fill the following form with the details of the item you lost.";
LostItem();
break;
This would then take you to the LostItem() method which you can use to fill up a form.
public void LostItem()
{
string itemName = string.Empty;
itemName = //Get from user
//repeat with whatever else you need for a complete item object
//Implement a SQL call to a stored procedure that inserts the object into your database.
//You can do a similar call to the database to retrieve an object as well
}
That should point you in the right direction hopefully. Google is your best friend if you need help with SQL stored procedures. Hopefully this helped!
Yes its possible.
You can send the requests to Lex from your website which will extract Intents and Entities.
Once you get these, you can write backend code in any language of your choice and use any DB you want.
In your use case, you might just want to use Lex. PostText will be main function you will be calling.
You will need to create an intent in Lex which will have multiple slots LosingDate, LosingPlace or whatever you want, then it will be able to get all these information from the user and pass it to your web application.
I'm new to OTRS (3.2) and also new to PERL but I have been given the task of setting up OTRS so that it will make a call to our remote webservice so a record can be created on our end when a ticket is set as "Closed".
I set up various dynamic fields so the customer service rep can fill in additional data that will be passed into the webservice call along with ticket details.
I couldn't get the webservice call to trigger when the ticket was "Closed" but I did get it to trigger when the "priority" was changed so I'm just using that now to test the webservice.
I'm just using the Test.pm and TestSimple.pm files that were included with OTRS.
When I look at the Debugger for the Webserice, I can see that the calls were being made:
$VAR1 = {
'TicketID' => '6'
};
My webservice currently just has one method "create" which just returns true for testing.
however I get the following from the Test.pm
"Got no TicketNumber (2014-09-02 09:20:42, error)"
and the following from the TestSimple.pm
"Error in SOAP call: 404 Not Found at /TARGET/SHARE/var/otrs/Kernel/GenericInterface/Transport/HTTP/SOAP.pm line 578 (2014-09-02 09:20:43, error)
I've spent countless hours on Google but couldn't find anything on this. All I could find is code for the Test.pm and TestSimple.pm but nothing really helpful to help me create a custom invoker for my needs and configure the webservice in OTRS to get it to work.
Does anyone have any sample invokers that I can look at to see how to set it up?
Basically I need to pass the ticket information along with my custom dynamic fields to my webservice. From there I can create the record on my end and do whatever processing.
I'm not sure how to setup the Invoker to pass the necessary ticket fields and dynamic fields and how to make it call a specific method in my remote webservice.
I guess getting the Test.pm and TestSimple.pm to work is the first step then I can modify those for my needs. I have not used PERL at all so any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm also struggling with similar set of requirements too. I've also never programmed in PERL, but I can tell you at least that the "Got no TicketNumber" in the Test.pm is right from the PrepareRequest method, there you can see this block of code:
# we need a TicketNumber
if ( !IsStringWithData( $Param{Data}->{TicketNumber} ) ) {
return $Self->{DebuggerObject}->Error( Summary => 'Got no TicketNumber' );
}
You should change all references to TicketNumber to TicketID, or remove the validation whatsoever (also there is mapping to ReturnedData variable).
Invoking specific methods on your WS interface is quite simple (but poorly documented). The Invoker name that you specify in the "OTRS as requester" section of web service configuration corresponds to the WS method that will be called. So if you have WS interface with a method called "create" just name the Invoker "create" too.
As far as the gathering of dynamic field goes, can't help you on that one yet, sorry.
Cheers
I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a web service that can send and answer to WhatsApp messages. I searched on the web and I found the WhatsAPI,
I guess this solution work fine, but with the actual version of WhatsApp it's not possible to get the nickname, the sender, the imei and the password.
To get them I set up a Linux PC in which I installed mitmproxy to sniff the web traffic of a Samsung Galaxy S4. By using mitmproxy I can see the web traffic generated by the phone, so I tried to register to WhatsApp (with an another SIM), but in mitmproxy I can't see the data I need for WhatsAPI.
Does anyone knows if it's possible to get the password by using another way?
If it exist can you suggest me a way? Do you think it's possible to do that or it's better to use Telegram or Wechat (they have public API)?
For Java, you can try WhatsUp
For Python, see YowsUp.
Beware that WhatsApp threatens legal action against many of these library developers and does not officially support using the service this way.
I have also spoken directly with WhatsApp representatives who have said no commercial API use of WhatsApp is acceptable.
Also note that bulk messaging is against the WhatsApp terms of service.
There used to be a PHP implementation at WhatsAPI, and another Java implementation, WhatsApi4J. Both are no longer available due to legal threats.
For .NET you use https://github.com/mgp25/Chat-API-NET
download installer for generate password https://github.com/mgp25/WART from this link
string nickname = "Nickname";
/* Your number in the format CCAANNNNNNNNN
* C - Country Code
* A - Area Code
* N - Phone number */
string sender = "***************"; //phone number
string password = "*****************"; // Obtain it with WART or Yowsup
WhatsApp wa = new WhatsApp(sender, password, nickname, true);
wa.OnConnectSuccess += () =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Connected");
wa.OnLoginSuccess += (phoneNumber, data) =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Connection success!");
wa.SendMessage("**************"/* Number */, "Hello World!");
Console.WriteLine("Message sent!");
};
wa.OnLoginFailed += (data) => {
Console.WriteLine("Login failed: {0}", data);
};
wa.Login();
};
wa.OnConnectFailed += (ex) =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Connect failed: {0}", ex.StackTrace);
};
wa.Connect();
Console.WriteLine("END");
Console.ReadLine();
wart app maybe works good for you.

WhatsApp Registration Tool
Uses token generator created by Jake
Uses WhatsApiNet fork by me
Requires .NET Framework 4 or Mono Framework (mono-complete on Linux)
This tool is used to register new phonenumbers and can also be used to retrieve a new password for already registered numbers.
The registration identity is auto-generated by the program based on the phone number.
The optional (and highly recommended) password field is used as salt when generating the identity. This will generate a unique identity hash which cannot be replicated unless you know the password.
Leaving the password field blank will generate an identity hash of just the phone number, which can be easily replicated and is highly insecure.

I notice that Growl allows for the possibility of Growl notifications from a website. Has anyone tried implementing this?
If so, what form did it take? Did you implement multi user support? And, can you provide any code examples (C# or Objective-C would preferable but I'm not that fussed)?
Rich
There are GNTP (Growl Network Transport Protocol) bindings for various languages, a list of bindings can be found here - these allow you to send notifications from, say, a PHP script.
I wouldn't trust Growl's UDP system directly, but rather write a server that receives and stores notifications (maybe as a tiny web app), and a local script that routinely grabs any new messages via HTTP and Growls them. Not complicated at all, will be more reliable than UDP, and can queue up messages when your Growl'ing machine is powered-off or unreachable. Shouldn't take long to implement
Basically, server.php in pseudo-PHP (which could use Net_Growl):
<?php
if($_GET['action'] == "store"){
$title = $_POST['title'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$password = sha1($_POST['password']);
if($password == "..."){
store_in_database(sanitise($title), sanitise($message);
}
} else {
print(json_encode(get_notifications_from_database()));
mark_notifications_as_read();
}
?>
client.py in pseudo-Python (which could use gntp):
while 1:
time.sleep(60):
data = urllib.urlopen("http://myserver.com/server.php?action=get&password=blah").read()
for line in data:
notif = json.decode(line)
growl.alert(notif['title'], notif['message'])
