Hi,

Sorry, the Calendar UI must be logged in through the website there is no other authentication for the Calendar UI.

Hope that helps, Austin

Austin,

Thanks a lot... actually that was exactly what i am asking about :)

So is there a way authenticate using the "Calendar UI Authentication Schema" other than entering the username/password through the UI

Thanks again, Lahzy

Hi,

If I misunderstand your question please let me know, but I think what you are asking is for the user to be able to logged in using the API and then redirect to the Google Calendar UI to reuse that authenticated session from the API. If this is what you were asking, unfortunately the answer would be no. This is not possible because the authentication scheme that is used from the API is strictly for API access, the Calendar UI is using a different authentication scheme and one is not interchangeable for the other.

Hope it helps, Austin

Hi,

Is there a way where I could sign in google calendar programmatically and then redirect to the URL "http://www.google.com/calendar/render" so it would display the calendar for the username/password for the user I used.

I tried Service.setUserCredentials method but it still asks me to sign in per redirection to the above URL, should I be setting a cookie or something?
