I have a GAE application with an endpoint that requires authentication,
which I need to call from an application (rather than from in a browser). I
was using ClientLogin, but that is now obsolete, so I have set up a Service
Account in the Google Console, and stored its keypair .p12 file so that I
can use the OAuth methods as described in the documentation.
Although the GoogleCredential builder successfully returns an authorization
token, if I then use that token in an HTTP get call to the endpoint, the
response is always the Google Login page.
Why, if I use the token, does GAE not take my application call as
authorized? Am I doing this all wrong or missing a step?
Here is the code:
String emailAddress = "[email protected]";
JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance();
String emailScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email";;
String keyFileName = "YYYYY.p12";
String baseURL = "http://ZZZZZ.appspot.com";;
HttpTransport httpTransport;
try {
httpTransport = GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport();
File keyFile = new File(keyFileName);
if(!keyFile.exists()) {
System.err.println("Key file "+keyFileName+" missing");
System.exit(0);
}
GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder()
.setTransport(httpTransport)
.setJsonFactory(JSON_FACTORY)
.setServiceAccountId(emailAddress)
.setServiceAccountScopes(Collections.singleton(emailScope))
.setServiceAccountPrivateKeyFromP12File(keyFile)
.build();
boolean success = credential.refreshToken();
System.out.println("Access token refresh "+ success);
String token = credential.getAccessToken();
System.out.println("Token "+token);
String uri = "http://ZZZZZ.appspot.com/gcm/home";;
System.out.println("uri: " + uri);
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(uri);
get.setHeader("Cookie", token);
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = client.execute(get);
response.getEntity().writeTo(System.out);
Typical output:
Access token refresh true
Token ya29.xQGG1kxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
uri: http://ZZZZZ.appspot.com/gcm/home
