POChange of behavior: GetUser now returns real user if alias address specified
text
Body
copied!<p>It looks like something has recently changes with the Provisioning API when getting a user account: <a href="https://developers.google.com/google-apps/provisioning/#retrieving_users_experimental" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/google-apps/provisioning/#retrieving_users_experimental</a></p> <p>previously, if you specified an address that was an Alias/Nickname, not a user, you got a 1301 error. Now it returns results for the primary user. Here's what GAM shows:</p> <p>Verify that admin2@ is an alias of admin:</p> <pre><code>C:\gam>gam info alias admin2 send: 'GET https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/alias/2.0/jay.powerposters.org/a dmin2@jay.powerposters.org HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nHost: apps-a pis.google.com\r\nContent-Type: application/atom+xml\r\nAuthorization: OAuth rea lm="", oauth_nonce="xxx", oauth_timestamp="xxx", oauth_consumer_key= "xxxx", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oa uth_version="1.0", oauth_token="xxx" , oauth_signature="xxx"\r\nUser-Agent: Google App s Manager 2.54 / jay@ditoweb.com (Jay Lee) / Python 2.7.3 final / Windows-7-6.1. 7601-SP1 AMD64 / GData-Python 2.0.14+20110902+custom_mods\r\n\r\n' reply: 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n' header: Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8 header: Expires: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:57:50 GMT header: Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:57:50 GMT header: Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-transform header: Vary: Accept, X-GData-Authorization, GData-Version header: GData-Version: 1.0 header: Last-Modified: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:57:50 GMT header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header: X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block header: Server: GSE header: Transfer-Encoding: chunked Alias Email: admin2@jay.powerposters.org User Email: admin@jay.powerposters.org </code></pre> <p>Get "user" alias2:</p> <pre><code>C:\gam>gam info user admin2 send: 'GET https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/user/2.0/jay.powerposters.org/ad min2@jay.powerposters.org HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nHost: apps-ap is.google.com\r\nContent-Type: application/atom+xml\r\nAuthorization: OAuth real m="", oauth_nonce="xxx", oauth_timestamp="xxx", oauth_consumer_key=" xxx", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oau th_version="1.0", oauth_token="xxx", oauth_signature="xxx"\r\nUser-Agent: Google Apps Man ager 2.54 / jay@ditoweb.com (Jay Lee) / Python 2.7.3 final / Windows-7-6.1.7601- SP1 AMD64 / GData-Python 2.0.14+20110902+custom_mods\r\n\r\n' reply: 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n' header: Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8 header: Expires: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:59:32 GMT header: Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:59:32 GMT header: Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-transform header: Vary: Accept, X-GData-Authorization, GData-Version header: GData-Version: 1.0 header: Last-Modified: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:59:32 GMT header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header: X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block header: Server: GSE header: Transfer-Encoding: chunked User: admin2@jay.powerposters.org First Name: Admin+ Last Name: USER Is an admin: true Has agreed to terms: true IP Whitelisted: false Account Suspended: false Must Change Password: false </code></pre> <p>This new behavior breaks GAM commands like "gam whatis " since that command relied on getting the 1301 when trying to access the address as a user.
