version 1.4.1

Introduction:

OAuth2OOo is part of a Suite of LibreOffice and/or OpenOffice extensions allowing to offer you innovative services in these office suites.

This extension is the implementation of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. Protocol allowing you to obtain your consent so that an application can access your data present at the GAFA.

It allows executing HTTP requests in BASIC and provides the following macros as an example:

If you open a document beforehand, you can launch them by:
Tools -> Macros -> Run Macro… -> My Macros -> OAuth2OOo -> macro-name -> Main -> Run

It also allows grabbing internet data in a Calc sheet. See the following Calc files as an example:

And finally, it allows you to drive Firefox using a Calc file (or any other browser supported by Selenium). See the following files:

Being free software I encourage you:

In short, to participate in the development of this extension. Because it is together that we can make Free Software smarter.


Requirement:

The minimum version of LibreOffice supported by the OAuth2OOo extension depends on how you installed LibreOffice on your computer:

If you want to drive Firefox in Calc on Ubuntu then you need to reinstall Firefox from the Mozilla PPA.
To install the Mozilla PPA please type the command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa


Installation:

It seems important that the file was not renamed when it was downloaded.
If necessary, rename it before installing it.

Restart LibreOffice after installation.
Be careful, restarting LibreOffice may not be enough.


Use:

This extension is not made to be used alone, but provide OAuth2 service to other LibreOffice / OpenOffice extensions.
Here’s how we use its API:

Create OAuth2 service:

identifier = “io.github.prrvchr.OAuth2OOo.OAuth2Service”
service = ctx.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(identifier, ctx)

Initialize Session or at least Url:

initialized = service.initializeSession(registered_url, user_account)

The return value: initialized is True if user_account is already authorized for registered_url.

initialized = service.initializeUrl(registered_url)

The return value: initialized is True if registered_url was successfully found in the OAuth2 service configuration.

Get the access token:

format = ‘Bearer %s’
token = service.getToken(format)

The OAuth2 protocol allows access to server resources, after accepting the connection authorization, by exchanging tokens.

The revocation takes place in the management of the applications associated with your account.

No more password is stored in LibreOffice.


How to build the extension:

Normally, the extension is created with Eclipse for Java and LOEclipse. To work around Eclipse, I modified LOEclipse to allow the extension to be created with Apache Ant.
To create the jdbcDriverOOo extension with the help of Apache Ant, you need to:

I will try to solve it :smile:
