Authentication


PropertyDescription
AuthSchemeThe type of authentication to use when connecting to Google Drive.

OAuth


PropertyDescription
InitiateOAuthSpecifies the process for obtaining or refreshing the OAuth access token, which maintains user access while an authenticated, authorized user is working.
OAuthClientIdSpecifies the client Id that was assigned the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer key.) This ID registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server.
OAuthClientSecretSpecifies the client secret that was assigned when the custom OAuth application was created. (Also known as the consumer secret ). This secret registers the custom application with the OAuth authorization server.
OAuthAccessTokenA token received after authentication to the OAuth network, granting the user access. The access token is used in place of the user's login ID and password, which stay on the server.
DelegatedServiceAccountsA space-delimited list of service account emails for delegated requests.
RequestingServiceAccountA service account email to make a delegated request.
OAuthSettingsLocationSpecifies the location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved. Storing OAuth settings in a central location avoids the need for users to enter OAuth connection properties manually each time they log in. It also enables credentials to be shared across connections or processes.
CallbackURLThe URL users return to after authenticating to Google Drive via OAuth.
OAuthVerifierSpecifies a verifier code returned from the OAuthAuthorizationURL . Used when authenticating to OAuth on a headless server, where a browser can't be launched. Requires both OAuthSettingsLocation and OAuthVerifier to be set.
OAuthRefreshTokenGets and refreshes the currently-active OAuth Access Token.
OAuthExpiresInSpecifies the duration in seconds, of an OAuth Access Token's lifetime. The token can be reissued to keep access alive as long as the user keeps working.
OAuthTokenTimestampDisplays a Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds that shows how long ago the current Access Token was created.

JWT OAuth


PropertyDescription
OAuthJWTCertThe JWT Certificate store.
OAuthJWTCertTypeThe type of key store containing the JWT Certificate.
OAuthJWTCertPasswordThe password for the OAuth JWT certificate used to access a certificate store that requires a password. If the certificate store does not require a password, leave this property blank.
OAuthJWTCertSubjectThe subject of the OAuth JWT certificate used to locate a matching certificate in the store. Supports partial matches and the wildcard '*' to select the first certificate.
OAuthJWTIssuerThe issuer of the Java Web Token.
OAuthJWTSubjectThe user subject for which the application is requesting delegated access.
