Installation

Follow these steps to install the Google Connector: These instructions assume that you have an in-house installation of v7.3+ up and running.

1. Make sure the version of  is compatible with the version of the Google Connector you are installing. View the compatibility matrix to check the versions. If you are not using the correct version of , first /wiki/spaces/frevvo80/pages/975572152 your server software.  

2. Stop '.

3. Download the compatible version of the Google Connector from our frevvo Software Download Directory. Rename the file to google.war and copy it to c:\<frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps. 

4. If you are running  on your local machine, you must set a domain name for your machine - otherwise you can skip this step. 

   1. Ex: For Windows edit the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file as an administrator and modify the 127.0.0.1 entry with a domain name:  

      127.0.0.1 example.com

      If you are currently using a previous version of the Google Connector and you want to upgrade, follow these steps if you are using the Tomcat bundle:

      1. Stop

      2. Download the frevvo tomcat bundle.

      3. Extract the <frevvo-home>\ext\connectors\google.war file to replace the existing one in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps.

      4. Delete the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\google directory. If this directory is not deleted then the Google Connector will run from the old directory and the newer version won't take effect.

      5. Continue with step 5.

5. Go to https://console.developers.google.com. Login to the google account that you are going to use with the Google connector.

6. Create a new project.
7. Enable the Google Drive API named Drive API.
8. Select the email address you want to associate with this project on the OAUTH consent screen. Provide a project name. Click Save.
9. Go to Credentials - Create new client ID
1. The Consent screen must contain a product name and email address before continuing.
2. Application Type = Web Application
3. Authorized Javascript Origins = Empty
4. Authorized Redirect URIs = http://<DOMAIN_NAME>/google/credential. Replace <DOMAIN_NAME> with your domain name. If you are using localhost, this name must match the entry in your hosts file and you must provide the port number.
5. Click Create Client ID.
10. Click the Download JSON file. The credentials from this file (client id and client secret) become available to the Google Connector as a property in the frevvo-config.properties file.
    
    1. If you do not have a file named frevvo-config.properties in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf, you can rename the JSON file to frevvo-config.properties.
       

       1.  Edit the file and append the prefix client.secrets= to the file content.

          client.secrets={"web":{"client_id":"1042723840399-112fedk6nurt8j657rl4etl8441m3evf.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"maryann-domain","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"E1P4VRTudW7mXZ7Pps5hsm5C","redirect_uris":["http://maryann.com/google/credential"]}}

       2. Save the file. Make sure the file type is changed from json to properties.
    2. If you already have a file named frevvo-config.properties in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf directory, then copy the information from the json file and add it to your existing frevvo-config.properties file.
       

       1.  Append the prefix client.secrets= to the pasted content from the json file

          client.secrets={"web":{"client_id":"1042723840399-112fedk6nurt8j657rl4etl8441m3evf.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"maryann-domain","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"E1P4VRTudW7mXZ7Pps5hsm5C","redirect_uris":["http://maryann.com/google/credential"]}}

       2. Save the file. Make sure the file type is changed from json to properties
    3. You can also
       
       1. Rename the JSON file as client_secrets.json
       2. Copy it to tomcat/lib folder
       3. Create/edit the frevvo-config.properties in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf directory. Add the client.secrets= property to this file without a value e.g. client.secrets=
       
       

1. Start . Don't forget to  /wiki/spaces/frevvo80/pages/975572122
2. Paste this url in your browser: http://<DOMAIN_ NAME>/google/health to check the Google Connector status. Provide your domain name and the port number if you are running locally. You should see a {"status":"UP"} message.

The google.war installation is now complete.

Google Connector Logfile

If you are using the frevvo tomcat bundle, the Google Connector log is located in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\logs. The logfile is named google-connector.YYYY-MM-DD.log. Generating separate logfiles make it much easier to search for errors when troubleshooting connector issues. The connector is designed to use the /wiki/spaces/frevvo80/pages/975572178.

The Google connector logfile defaults to INFO loglevel. To configure DEBUG level logging for the Google connector log:

1. Stop
2. Create/edit a frevvo-config.properties file in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf
3. Add the logging.level.com.frevvo.connectors.google=DEBUG property to the file or add the logging.level.=DEBUG to see DEBUG messages in the frevvo and any connector logs.
   
4. Save the file
5. Restart
   
   

logging.level.com.frevvo.connector.google=DEBUG

Generate the Google Connector log in JSON format

Logging output defaults to text format. To switch to JSON format, add this property to the frevvo-config.properties file.
