I see login, password, signature, currency code, and server.
What are each of these supposed to be?
The Spree PayPal gateway uses ActiveMerchant under the covers. The login, password, and signature should all come from API tokens for your PayPal account. This answer contains more detail:
activemerchant paypal gateway configuration
Currency Code is the the three letter ISO code for the currency you're using (for example, 'USD' for US Dollars).
Server will also come from paypal and generally be api.sandbox.paypal.com or api.paypal.com depending on whether you are operating in the sandbox or production environments.
From scratch testing
First you have to go to Paypal developer's website and create and account
Then generate sandbox user type business then click on Profile option and then click on API Credentials tab you will finally the required data such login/username, password/password, signature/signature

We are using Google to enable users to use their Google account to authenticate themselves (using AWS Cognito federated sign in) with our Mobile application (we only have mobile applications, no web). We are only using the non-sensitive scopes, but even with that it seems that we are required to go through the whole verification process.
Scopes used:
OAuth scopes
But when I try and publish the application I get a popup notifying me that the verification is required and even mentions sensitive and restricted scopes:
Google publish popup
Step 1 of the verification process is ok, but the other steps are what baffles me.
When I take a look at the documentation it mentions that only if you are using sensitive or restricted scopes that verification is required.
Is there any way to setup the application so verification is not required or at least not as extensive? Most likely we have configured something wrong, or didn't understand the documentation correctly, so any suggestion would be more than appreciated.
In addition to scopes, there a few more reasons why your consent screen might require verification:
You want to display an icon or display name for your project on the OAuth consent screen.
Your project's OAuth clients request authorization of any sensitive or restricted scopes.
The number of authorized domains for your project exceeds the domain count limit.
There are changes to your project's OAuth consent screen configuration after a previous published, verified configuration.
I am currently building an Alexa skill backed by Azure Functions (.NET Core/C#) and Azure AD B2C for authentication.
For the initial setup, I used mostly used the instructions found in this arcticle. Since, the article was written a couple of years ago, I had to make a few changes. In the end, I landed on the following configuration:
Azure Active Directory B2C
As I mentioned, we are using AAD B2C for authentication. Users of a related application are able to sign-up and sign-in to a React application. The idea is to provide an alternative interface for said users through Alexa intents + utterances.
I created an application for Alexa in AAD B2C with the following settings:
Properties
Web App / Web API: Yes
Allow implicit flow: Yes
Reply URLs: I entered the values provided by the Alexa skill setup (e.g. https://pitangui.amazon.com/api/skil/link/...); there are three different ones. I also added one for my azure function app (this is something that could be incorrect. It was part of what I did while diagnosing other earlier problems); it's in the format: https://myfuncname.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/aad/callback (Do I even need this???)
App ID URI: https://myorg.onmicrosoft.com/alexa
Include native client: No
Keys
I generated a single App Key, which I'm using as the Secret in the Account Linking section in the Alexa Developer Console.
Many of the examples online mention setting an explicit expiration date here of 1 or 2 years; however, I am not presented with any options at all (i.e. no expiration option), just the code. Could this be part of the problem???
API Access
In the Published scopes section, the Scope's name is user_impersonation. The description is "Access this app on behalf of the signed-in user". The full scope value is: https://myorgsname.onmicrosoft.com/alexa/user_impersonation.
For API Access, I have to API entries here:
One that uses the user_impersonation scope mentioned above.
The second, titled "Access the user's profile", uses:
Acquire an id_token for users (openid)
Acquire a refresh_token for users (offline_access)
AAD B2C User Flow
The user flow that I'm using allows signing up and signing in, it utilizes the following configuration:
Properties
Misc
Enable JavaScript enforcing page layout (preview): On
Token lifetime
Access & ID token lifetimes (minutes): 60
Refresh token lifetime (days): 14
Refresh token sliding window lifetime: "Bounded".
Lifetime length (days): 90
Token compatibility settings
Issuer (iss) claim: https://<domain>/<b2c-tenant-guid>
Subject (sub) claim: ObjectID
Claim representing user flow: tfp
Session behavior
Web app session lifetime (minutes): 1440
Web app session timeout: Rolling
Single sign-on configuration: Tenant
Require ID Token in logout requests: No
Azure Function Authentication Middleware
For the authentication layer within the Azure Function, I'm utilizing the method described in the article mentioned above.
Alexa Developer Console
On the Alexa side of things, I have a really simple skill setup with the following settings:
Endpoint
My endpoint uses the HTTPS option with the default region set to the fully-qualified HTTPS endpoint of my Azure Function App's handler function.
The certificate set to "My development endpoint is a sub-domain of a domain that has a wildcard ..."
Account Linking
The account linking settings are as outlined below:
Do you allow uses to create an account or link to ...: Toggled On
Allow users to enable skill without account linking: Toggled On
Allow users to link their account to your skill from within your application or website: Toggled Off
Auth Code Grant: On
Authorization URI: https://myorg.b2clogin.com/myorg.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?p=<sign-in-user-flow-policy-name>
Access Token URI: https://myorg.b2clogin.com/myorg.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/token?p=<sign-in-user-flow-policy-name>
Your Client ID: AAD B2C App GUID
Your Secret: Key generated in App settings in AAD B2C for my Alexa Skill App (mentioned in the AAD B2C setup info above).
Your Authentication Scheme: HTTP Basic
Scope: openid and https://myorg.onmicrosoft.com/alexa/user_impersonation
Domain List: login.microsoftonline.com and myorg.b2clogin.com Note: This is probably wrong as I didn't know what to put here. The article above doesn't mention this setting at all
Default Access Token Expiration Time: 3600
Note: The Alexa Redirect URLS at the bottom are what I put in AAD B2C for the Reply URL section.
The Problem
Now for the most important part, The Problem. Everything seems to work at first...I'm able to go to alexa.amazon.com and utilize Link Account (which redirects me to and from my AAD B2C-driven login screen). Once I link accounts, I'm able to successfully utilize an utterance and receive a reply.
The problems starts when I wait an hour (I believe it's an hour). Attempting to initiate the Intent after an hour yields an error on the Azure Function app side of things when it tries to validate the Auth Token.
Can anyone provide me some guidance as to what I may have setup incorrectly or at least some things that I should look into? As I mentioned at the start of this question, many of the references that I'm finding online are out-of-date and do not cover all of the settings that I'm expected to utilize. Many of them are still using microsoftonline.com authority vs. b2clogin.com.
At a glance, I would assume that the problem is that the Alexa skill is failing to refresh its token after it expires after an hour. What do I need to do to ensure that it refreshes correctly?
I think that I have enough information at this point to go ahead and answer my own question. What I found was that the offline_access scope is necessary for Token Refresh to be possible.
Per Microsoft, "The offline_access scope gives your app access to resources on behalf of the user for an extended time. On the consent page, this scope appears as the "Maintain access to data you have given it access to" permission. When a user approves the offline_access scope, your app can receive refresh tokens from the Microsoft identity platform token endpoint. Refresh tokens are long-lived. Your app can get new access tokens as older ones expire.".
You can read more about it here.
To resolve the issue, I ensured that this scope was available in AAD B2C and added it as a referenced scope in the Alexa developer console.
Thanks for giving insight on offline_access. It took few hours to figure out how to implement offline_access. Interestingly offline_access works only with Azure AD, OAuth 1.0 endpoint and not with 2.0.
While trying with 2.0 it kept failing while account linking when multiple scopes were mentioned in Alexa configurations. The scopes I tried were as follows.
https://samplealexabackendapi/
https://graph.microsoft.com/offline_access
Finally I ended up working with OAuth 1.0 endpoint and using the scope https://samplealexabackendapi/.default which considers all scopes available to the app registered.
I'm trying to connect my website's API and mobile app. I need to authenticate the user with google account but I don't know how to do it.
I created the backend with Django. And I set the endpoint as rest-auth/google/. On the restframework's page, it requires Access Token and Code but honestly I don't get how I can test if it actually works using actual google account.
I want to test from mobile app but I don't understand how and what I need to POST.
Anyone could give me tips?
I would recommend you to use a ready solution like "django-allauth".
If you want to do authentication yourself you might want to read Google's documentation about the topic:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/
In nutshell you create API credentials:
https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
Send a user to a link with specific parameters (api-credentials, scope, redirect link etc). Google client can help you to generate it.
A user will login in his account as he would normally do and will give your app permissions to use his information (or won't). After that he will be redirected to the link you specified with GET request with a code as a parameter (or error).
With help of Google client you can exchange the code on a token and then use that token to get information from his profile.
Using the Reports API, I have made a simple command line app to return users with unused Gmail accounts. I am using the attribute accounts:last_login_time.
I am writing to ask if this parameter includes the user's usage of the Gmail app for Android
I'm concerned that my API call will falsely return users who only check their account via the android app as 'delinquent'.
I think logging to your gmail regardless of medium is still counted as a log-in activity, hence the server will still take note of that. If you want to make sure, login a member test user account using Android Gmail app and make a request using
Login Activity Report:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/admin/reports/v1/activity/users/all/applications/login?customerId=C03az79cb
Check if it returns the time you logged-in.
Try this reference: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/reports/v1/reference/usage-ref-appendix-a/users-gmail
You'll want to use the gmail:last-interaction-time to ascertain whether or not an account is delinquent. The reason is that access via IMAP/POP is counted independently of logon: last_logon_time is an accounts property, whereas user activity reports for Gmail tracks access time in general, as well as access times by protocol (POP, IMAP, WebMail). You can, of course, query both accounts & gmail in the same request with a comma-separated list of the appropriate app-name:parameter pairs.
Does the Google Apps Email Migration API v2 support 2 legged oAuth1?
I've looked at this answer, but I believe it refers to the older version of the Email Migration API: Does Google Apps Email Migration API support 2 legged oAuth?
I have been able to authenticate an Email Migration API request using OAuth1 w/ tokens, but all of my 2 legged OAuth 1 attempts have failed. I have tried including xoauth_requestor_id and it has not had an effect.
There is some hinting in the docs that OAuth1 w/ tokens may be required, but I was hoping to confirm that that is the case.
For example the docs say: "If your application has certain unusual authorization requirements, such as logging in at the same time as requesting data access (hybrid) or domain-wide delegation of authority (2LO), then you cannot currently use OAuth 2.0 tokens. In such cases, you must instead use OAuth 1.0 tokens and an API key."
It seems clear there that "tokens" are referenced, however the word "token" is also used to describe the Authorization request header, so it is less clear that this means OAuth1 request tokens.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The section you are referring to doesn't seem up to date. You can have domain-wide delegation of authority using OAuth 2.0. It's called Service Account. Once authenticated, you do exactly the same that you used to do with 2-legged OAuth 1.0.
Here are the steps you need to get started:
Go to Google Developer Console
Create a project if you don't already have one
Go to APIs & auth --> APIs and activate the Admin SDK
Go to APIs & auth --> Credentials and click CREATE NEW CLIENT ID
Select Service Account and click Create Client ID
Download the p12 private key file (and keep it safe !)
Go to your Google Apps Admin Panel
Go to Security --> Advanced Settings --> Manage OAuth Client Access (Direct URL: https://admin.google.com/AdminHome?#OGX:ManageOauthClients)
Enter the Client Id you just created along with the scopes you'll need, separated with commas (In your case, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/email.migration)
Go to your favorite language client library documentation and find how to authenticate using the private key file you downloaded earlier and also impersonate your domain users.
Hope that helps.
