Renaming a GAPE user account using cURL
Monday, October 12, 2009 at 12:21AM
This is a four step process:
- First obtain a Authentication Token:
# curl https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin -d Email=user@domain.tld –d Passwd=password –d accountType=HOSTED_OR_GOOGLE -d source=cURL-Example -d service=wise
This will return something that looks as follows:SID=DQAAAHYBADCv2pSv7nflacDNwz3zEDUGtrSvNVDcpkSfddi77b3U5sEaHmP8YLWhmA36F9rk85mL8J5dqo4apn0T1vKz0fPGI9Xtnuet6cuE2ZzYvrNIwbSC_HjTqF4zudNQnnlDuD2wqZT-g1qXI8KhGAQZV4NexHZoQPlabTsGuRZeIBxj1A LSID=EUBBBIaBADCl-kNxvRVmcQghpt3cqSMfEooKR9flLOUZqwgP9OrZS83gse-KSdTNeXhxsET7FYenDhceP9lIPOmesH-t9qh-AWUHjjMdZEbUNeF9mWyzln6Z-FajaiG-cVFkqW0ZJ8ZbnCP30xXj6xFK6QxaAcqy_9Pej8jhEnxS9E61ftQGPg Auth=EUBBIacAAADK-kNxvRVmcQghpt3cqSMfEooLNMflLNIQqwgP9OrZS83gs-KSdTNeXhxsET7FYePWmaD8Vsy1V4LSUGMUP48Je2TO8OcjBj6HgAtPhiZeX-gKDfagZDK44j4n-Tkb44nhOnp2_QPSnBj3Z2vYwOEDjjG3Q53aQVC2132JKOuGh
- Now use the AuthToken to retrieve the user account:
# curl --silent --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=AUTHKEY” "https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/domain.tld/user/2.0/oldUserName" | tidy -xml -indent -quiet -wrap 300 > rename.xml
This will generate a file called rename.xml containing the user account definition. The content of the rename.xml should look as follows:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:apps="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006" xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005"> <atom:id>https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/example.com/user/2.0/OldUserName</atom:id> <atom:updated>1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z</atom:updated> <atom:category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind" term="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006#user"/> <atom:title type="text">OldUserName</atom:title> <atom:link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/example.com/user/2.0/OldUserName"/> <atom:link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/example.com/user/2.0/OldUserName"/> <apps:login userName="NewUserName" suspended="false" admin="false" changePasswordAtNextLogin="false" agreedToTerms="true"/> <apps:name familyName="Jones" givenName="Susan"/> <gd:feedLink rel="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006#user.nicknames" href="https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/example.com/nickname/2.0?username=Susy-1321"/> <gd:feedLink rel="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006#user.groups" href="https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds//group/2.0/?recipient=us-sales@example.com"/> </atom:entry>
- Edit rename.xml and replace NewUserName with the new username for the user. You can also change the familyName, givenName or any other attribute in the <apps:login/> element.
- Use the following command to update the UserName on the GAPE server:
# curl --silent --request PUT --data "@rename.xml" --header "Content-Type: application/atom+xml" --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=AUTHKEY" "https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/domain.tld/user/2.0/oldUserName"
