Moodle in English: Google Drive Repository - Log In Option routes to User Profile instead

Google Drive Repository - Log In Option routes to User Profile instead

by John Provasnik - Monday, August 27, 2018, 7:22 AM

Hello,

I'm on Moodle 3.4.4 - I was using the Google Drive repository on 3.1 - when a user attempted to add a file from the Google Drive repository, a window opened asking the user to log in to their google account... and all worked as expected (Image 1).

Now on 3.4, I've enabled the Google Drive Document Converter (over Unicov), which required setting up and configuring the OAuth 2 Google service -- but I did not allow profiles to be created through this.

Now, when a user attempts to add a file from their Google Drive repository, instead of asking the user to log in, users are redirected to their Moodle Profile Page... (image 2)

Any suggestions of what I may have done wrong to break the repository service?

Do you have required fields in profile?

Some other related stuff ....

Check Oauth2 services ... Site Admin -> Server -> Ouath2 Services.
Sometimes the tokens for the system account connected needs refreshing.

https://docs.moodle.org/34/en/OAuth_2_services

In Site Admin -> Plugins -> Document converters -> Google Drive
Set it to Google ... Save changes.
Then use the 'Test this converter is working properly' button.

It will report on another page, then also provide another test
"Test document conversion'.

That will render a test doc conversion ..

This is a test
Just so you know:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consecutuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh quismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna erat volupat. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consecutuer adipiscing elit, sed

In theme's custom menus, one could add:

Google Tools
-Mail| https://gmail.com" target="new
-Doc|https://docs.google.com/document/create" target="_new
-Spread|https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet" target="_new
-Pres|https://docs.google.com/presentation/create" target="_new
-Draw|https://docs.google.com/drawings/create" target="_new
Google Drive| https://drive.google.com/#al" target="new
LOGOUT Google|https://accounts.google.com/Logout" target="_new
LOGIN Google|https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin" target="_new

for access and testing.

After digging some more, see the site is behind CloudFlare. In the last month, I've had to migrate some Moodle sites off one domain, onto another domain *not behind* ClouidFlare. Site had Google authentication + Google Repsository + Google Document conversions working prior to being placed behind CF DNS.

Behaviors were strange ... could login to the instances, navigate most things *except for anything admin* in it's link. Would get a CloudFlare 525 error with a diagram drawn by CF indicating nothing wrong with browser end, nothing wrong with CF, but a Big Red X on the server end. Did all their recommended test from the affected server. Nothing reported a problem.

I then got down to the nitty gritty ... the NIC ... and in an ifconfig, I see RX packets were being dropped .. that's outbound. Every test I could do on that NIC passed. The only thing I did not control ... the configuration of CF CDN and firewall rules. As I understand CF, they have both inbound rules and outbound rules.

Something to check with your system?
