NAME

       VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0 - Perl module that implements version 2.0 of the Google Apps for
       Your Domain Provisioning API

SYNOPSIS

        use VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI;
        my $google = new VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI($domain, $admin, $passwd, '2.0');

        $google->CreateUser($userName, $givenName, $familyName, $password, $quotaMB);
        my $user = $google->RetrieveUser($userName);

REQUIREMENTS

       VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI requires the following modules to be installed:

       •   "LWP::UserAgent"

       •   "HTTP::Request"

       •   "Encode"

       •   "XML::Simple"

DESCRIPTION

       VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI   provides  a  simple  interface  to  the  Google  Apps  for  Your  Domain
       Provisioning API.  It uses the "LWP::UserAgent" module for the HTTP transport,  and  the  "HTTP::Request"
       module for the HTTP request and response.

   Examples
       Adding a user:

        use VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI;
        my $google = VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI->new('yourdomain.com',
                                                 'admin',
                                                 'your password',
                                                 '2.0');

        my $entry = $google->CreateUser('joeb', 'Joe', 'Blow', 'joespassword');
        if (defined $entry) {
          print $entry->User, " created\n";
        } else {
          die "Add failed: ".$google->{result}{reason};
        }

       Updating a user:

        my $new_entry = VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry->new();
        $new_entry->Password('heresmynewpassword');
        $new_entry->GivenName('Joseph');
        my $entry = $google->UpdateUser('joeb', $new_entry);

       Delete a user:

        my $rc = $google->DeleteUser('joeb');
        if (not $rc) {
          die "Can't delete user: ".$google->{result}{reason};
        }

CONSTRUCTOR

       new ($domain, $admin, $adminpasswd)

       This  is  the  constructor  for  a new VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI object.  $domain is the domain name
       registered with Google Apps For Your Domain, $admin is an account in the above domain that has the  right
       to manage that domain, and $adminpassword is the password for that account.

       Note  that  the constructor will NOT attempt to perform the 'ClientLogin' call to the Google Provisioning
       API (see below).  Authentication happens automatically when the first API call is  performed.  The  token
       will be remembered for the duration of the object, and will be automatically refreshed as needed.  If you
       want  to  verify  that you can get a valid token before performing any operations, follow the constructor
       with a call to IsAuthenticated() as such:

               print "Authentication OK\n" unless not $google->IsAuthenticated();

METHODS

Below are all the methods available on the object. For the Google API specific methods, see the Google
API documentation for more details.

When a request is properly handed by Google's API engine, the results of the action are returned as the
content of the request.

If the request fails (as determined by the "HTTP::Request" method is_success()), it could mean a couple
of things. If it's a failure within the Google API, the content will contain an XML encoded error
message. All other HTTP errors are still possible.

Checking Authentication
IsAuthenticated()

will check if the object has been able to authenticate with Google's api engine, and get an
authentication ticket. Returns 1 if successful, 0 on failure. To see why it may fail, see the $@
variable, and the $google->{results}->{reason} hash, and parse the returned page (see the 'content'
and 'header' variables.)

Relogin()

Performs a login if required. Relogin() will be called but the API methods and IsAuthenticated(). You
should not need to call this directly.

User Methods
These are the acutual API calls. These calls match up with the client library methods described for the
.Net and Java libraries.

CreateUser($userName, $givenName, $familyName, $password, $quota, $forceChange, $hashName)

Creates a user in your Google Apps domain. The first four arguments are required. The $quota argument
is optional and may not do anything unless your agreement with Google allows you to change quotas.

If $forceChange is true, the user will be required to change their password after log in.

$hashName, if set, must be sha-1 or md5.

CreateUser() returns a "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" object if the request was
successful and "undef" otherwise.

RetrieveUser($userName)

Get the passed user from Google. Returns a "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" object.

RetrieveAllUsers()

Returns a list of all users in your domain. The entries are

users.

RetrievePageOfUsers() returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" objects.

UpdateUser($userName, $newUserEntry)

$userName is the mandatory name of the user account. $newUserEntry is a
"VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" object with the changes to the account. You only
need to set the elements of $newUserEntry that are being changed. Note: According to the Google API
docs, you should not set the password unless you are actually changing the password.

ACCESSING RESULTING DATA

       Most  API calls return an object so that you don't have to screw around with the XML data. The parsed XML

EXPORT

       None by default.
