[SyncEvolution] getting started with gSSO (was: Re: SyncEvolution + SSO + credentials)
by Patrick Ohly
Hello!
Without my knowledge, the mailing list configuration was changes such
that mails from unsubscribed senders were automatically discarded. That
was unintentional. I've changed it back so that I get a chance to
approve individual posts and senders again - no need to subscribe to the
list.
After this service announcement, back to the topic - see below...

As a first step, I compiled accounts-sso.libgsignon-glib,
accounts-sso.gsignond and accounts-sso.gsignond-plugin-oa from
https://code.google.com/p/accounts-sso/source/checkout
I had to patch gsignond slightly to fix autotools build issues with
out-of-tree compilation. Compilation of accounts-sso.gsignond-plugin-oa
also required one tweak. Patches attached.
I'm now at the stage where files are installed. What's next?
Running gsignond-oauth2-example with (or without) gsignond running
promply segfaults (missing error handling somewhere?):
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The log helped. Something is going wrong with change detection: the
remote side is requesting an "Add" of an item which already exists
locally.
The local side then eventually comes to the conclusion that the remote
side has too many items and tries to delete some. It shouldn't do that
and the remote side rejects that without ever trying to write to
Google.
In other words, sync is one-way as intended, it just doesn't quite work
as intended. I'll try to reproduce here.

No that was not intentional. Sorry about that.

I guess this is off the table for now as I also tried commenting out
the RetryDuration - still no crash with the newest version. Maybe it
was a bug in 1.3.99.3 that was already fixed?

I did try this in the log directory:
for i in *.xml
do
xmllint $i >/dev/null
echo $?
done
That reported success for every xml file that is in the directory.
Now I looked into the logfile again and I also found these:
[2013-07-17 22:41:45.372] Warning: More than 3 consecutive Alert 222 - looks
like endless loop, check if we need to work around client implementation
issues
[2013-07-17 22:41:45.372] Alert: command finished execution -> deleting
actually I feel this log is rather interesting. If you like, I can place
it online.
I looked a little further into the logfile and found this:

apparently the chunking cuts off events at fixed byte offsets - in this
case between VER an SION so I would doubt that each chunkg is ever a
valid xml on large syncs where multiple chunks are needed.

[SyncEvolution] sync timeouts for syncevo-http-server + nokia e51 phone
by Christof Schulze
Hi,
Since syncevo-http-server is now running I was going to synchronize my
calender (4200 entries) with owncloud that already contained most of the
data.
I started with a one-way-sync from phone to syncevo-http-server.
This caused syncevolution to remove all data from owncloud, which is
perfectly fine. However doing so takes about one second for each entry
causing the phone to report a timeout after a while.
What is your take on that? Shouldn't syncevo-http-server try to keep the
session to the phone open? Maybe a better approach would be to clean all
files at once on the webdav server to circumvent the timeout in the
first place?
Regards
Christof

I've already seen that and noticed that libsignon gets a copy of the
values from an account, not a reference to the account itself.
Is libsignon also used in gSSO? So far, only libaccounts-glib was
mentioned.

"creating a binary plugin which the Online Accounts configuration applet
will load" - while that may be useful for best integration into Ubuntu
(or Ubuntu Phone), this is not something that I want to depend on in
core SyncEvolution. I would accept patch contributions for an optional
component, if someone wants to write and maintain such a plugin as part
of SyncEvolution.
The key part would be to figure out whether the user wants to sync a
certain calendar or address book, then create the corresponding local
EDS database, SyncEvolution config and trigger syncing.
I think SyncEvolution should not do that automatically. Otherwise
enabling, say, the Google account in UOA for Evolution and installing
SyncEvolution for syncing with a phone would suddenly end up mirroring
Google data.

Probably yes, with one caveat: can CardDAV be used for Google? Evolution
itself uses the GData API. The client ID would be the same for each app
in this case, right?
I've looked at the EDS backend for UOA. It has the code which retrieves
the OAuth2 token. I could do something similar in SyncEvolution.
EDS does not seem to have the actual libaccounts backend. Where is that
maintained?

Hi,
I am working on gtk based UI for gSSO, It is about to ready, testing is going on.
I guess by this weekend, i can push the functional UI.

Yes, but the redirect uri is again a part of account configuration info,
provided by the app to gsso. OAuth plugin uses what it gets from the app
and doesn't hardcode the uri.

libaccounts-glib is meant for public information that is not specific to
any client, so you need to store the client key inside your binary, or
read it from some secret file, or use gsso with a password plugin for
storing and retrieving the client id/key securely.

Yes, except the SyncEvo's client id and key.

I'll start working on it early next week, but we also need a functional
gtk-based gsso UI component (where the browser magic happens). Amarnath,
do you have any idea about how long it's going to take?

When using libaccounts-glib, where does the client key come from? Sounds
to me like SyncEvolution would still need some kind of setting for
"google-calendar" where that piece of information is stored.
Or are you saying that libaccounts-glib would store the key/value pairs
that I described above, including SyncEvolution's own client key?
