Hi,

I've been playing around with the calendar api, and I've hit the
'authsub doesn't work for google domains' issue. It seems to me that a
possible workaround to this is to have the user share the calendar
with a google account (domain or otherwise) that your service uses for
api access - i.e. rather than have the user follow the normal authsub
process, or have them hand over their domain account password, they go
to 'manage calendars', and share the calendar with the appropriate
level of access with [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or any e-mail address with
a google account). This also gives them a finer grained access control
than authsub would - the service can only see the individual
calendar(s) which are shared, rather than getting access to all of
them.

What I don't know, is whether this would really scale - could a single
google account have access to thousands of different calendars? When
you share a calendar, it's automatically added to the list of
calendars for that account, so you can easily find the users calendar
(and then maybe delete it from the list, to stop the list getting too
long?). Or you could have the user give you the url of their calendar
after they have shared it. I've tried these things with one or two
calendars, and it seems to work nicely.

Does this approach sound like it would work/scale?

Or is 'authsub for google domains' coming soon?

Have fun,

Rich
