Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ruby_provisioning_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ruby_provisioning_api

Configuration

The configuration of Ruby Provisioning Api gem can be achieved in two steps. The first one is mandatory and contains the minimal required configuration for the gem to work. The second one is optional and allows you to tweak some aspects of the gem functionalities.

Basic configuration (required)

The Ruby Provisioning Api gem looks for a configuration file named google_apps.yml. This file must contain the following parameters for the gem to work:

• username: the username to authenticate to google apps
• password: the password to authenticate to google apps
• domain: the domain linked to google apps

Typically a basic configuration file would look like this example:

:username: foo
:password: pa55w0rd
:domain: foobar.com

If you use the gem in a traditional Ruby application, you can place this file everywhere you want and tell the gem its location through the advanced configuration.

In a Ruby on Rails application this file would reside under the config directory. The gem by default looks for the #{Rails.root}/config/google_apps.yml file but of course you can override this behavior through the advanced configuration. Note that in this case the advanced configuration is required to tell the gem where to find the file.

Another options provided inside the Ruby on Rails environment is the ability to use multiple configuration environments like the default Rails' database.yml file. Here an example:

development:
  :username: dev_foo
  :password: dev_pa55w0rd
  :domain: dev.foobar.com

test:
  :username: test_foo
  :password: test_pa55w0rd
  :domain: test.foobar.com

production:
  :username: prod_foo
  :password: prod_pa55w0rd
  :domain: prod.foobar.com

Advanced configuration

Here a list the parameters of Ruby Provisioning Api gem that can be configured to fit your needs:

• config_file: path to the config file in the file system. This setting defaults to #{Rails.root}/config/google_apps.yml if you're using Rails, or nil otherwise.

• base_apps_url: the url to google apps apis (default is: "https://apps-apis.google.com")

• base_path: the path to append to _base_appsurl to the google apps api (default is: "/a/feeds")

• http_debug: console log level (for development purposes). Logs all http headers, requests and responses if true, doesn't log nothing if false (default is false)

• ca_file: path to the ca file in the file system. This setting is required in case you get a "certificate verify failed" error.

Example:

RubyProvisioningApi.configure do |config|
  config.config_file = "/my/custom/path/google_apps.yml"
  config.ca_file = "/my/custom/path/to/certs"
  config.http_debug = true
end

In a Ruby on Rails application you would tipically insert this code into an initializer file and place it inside the config/initializers directory.
