GMail OAuth for multiple acconuts

zippo

Hi!

I have an application that uses GMail for sending e-mails. This application is used by many clients, with different Gmail accounts.

Google decided to discontinue the support for IMAP access, so I have to use rest mail interface. But I don't understand how change the settings to use my app for many users.

Does each my customer have to set a different ClientID and Client secret in the admin console? If yes, then I'm screwed.. 150 customers ...

I hate GMail for doing this..

Are there any comprehensive manual on how to setup GMail REST api (on Google and Delphi side)?

Hi Marko,

>>Does each my customer have to set a different ClientID and Client secret in the admin console?

No, the ClientID and Client Secret are app based, so each application needs one. The users simply need a Gmail account.

See the following article(s) on the Web Mail feature in RB and how to set up Gmail REST api support.

Thank you.

I'm stuck on redirect port, what value to use here?

Hi Marko,

In most cases the Redirect Port property should be left as 0. This property allows the developer to define a specific port for validation in the case of a strict firewall etc. Leaving this as 0 will use a random, unused port for the task.

Hello!

OK, I finally made some progress, but I'm now stuck after the confirmation button click (pic below). It stays on the screen and never goes on.

Hi Marko,

I just sent you an email to discuss this further. I will post the solution to this thread once it is found.

After researching this further, the issue was due to numerous changes made by Embarcadero to Delphi 11.1 which required us to alter our previous logic. A patch is now available solving the problem.
