Google Chat Connector 24.2

# Retrieve Information from G Suite Users

To retrieve messages from multiple users in a G Suite domain, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[FetchTasks]` section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the `Number` parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type `Number=1`. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the `Number` parameter by one (1). Below the `Number` parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

4. Below the `[FetchTasks]` section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

       [MyTask]

1. In the new section, ensure that you have set the parameters required to authenticate with Google Chat. The OAuth configuration tool (described in Configure OAuth Authentication (G Suite)) creates a file that contains these parameters, and you can include them in the connector's configuration file using the following syntax:

       [MyTask] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]

   For more information about including parameters from another file, see Include an External Configuration File

2. In the new section, set the following configuration parameters:

   GSuiteDomain | The domain (that is associated with G Suite) that you want to retrieve data from.
   GSuiteDomainAdmin | The e-mail address of a domain administrator for the G Suite domain. The connector uses this account to retrieve user information.
   GSuiteUsers | (Optional) A list of e-mail addresses for the user accounts that you want to synchronize. Use this parameter to synchronize a specific set of user accounts.
   MappedSecurity | (Optional) To add Access Control Lists (ACLs) to IDOL documents, and protect your IDOL documents with mapped security, set this parameter to `TRUE`.
   ProxyHost | (Optional) The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use to access Google Chat
   ProxyPort | (Optional) The port of the proxy server to use to access Google Chat.
   SSLConfig | The name of the section in the configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use to access Google Chat.
   UserAgent | The value to use for the `User-Agent` header in requests sent to the repository. OpenText recommends that you set the user-agent to a value that includes "gzip". This improves performance because Google Chat compresses its responses with GZIP compression.

   For Example:

       [MyTask]
       GSuiteDomain=my-gsuite-domain.com
       GSuiteDomainAdmin=admin@my-gsuite-domain.com
       MappedSecurity=TRUE
       ProxyHost=10.0.0.1
       ProxyPort=8080
       SSLConfig=SSL
       UserAgent=autn:netlib/2.0 gzip

       [SSL]
       SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE

3. Save and close the configuration file. You can now start the connector.
