New issue 42 by hollyshi...@yahoo.com: Invalid User Credentials error no
matter which arguments I enter
http://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I tried at least 20 different combinations of host, domain, webspace,
username and password but every time I get "Invalid User Credentials".
1. I run the Jar file and enter in the host domain and webspace.
2. My site is http://sites.google.com/a/lilybclayton.org/www so I put
host=sites.google.com domain=lilybclayton.org, webspace=www
For username I tried including just my user id and also adding the domain
to the end but either way it does not work.

I am using Google Apps so it looks like domain is required.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am trying to export a copy of my web site.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest version 1.0.1 on Windows XP. I just downloaded Java 1.6 today
since I got other errors with Java 1.5.

Please provide any additional information below.

Comment #4 on issue 42 by nidhivivek: Invalid User Credentials error no

matter which arguments I enter
http://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42

Finally I was able to make it work -
Host: sites.google.com
Domain: site
Webspace: <<name which you registered with google sites>>. In my case, its
valushop
Username: google account name, try adding @gmail.com
Password

2 Important things to note -
Export- downloads the files from google.
Secondly, This program does not work through firewall. So if you have a
proxy
setting to access internet, it won't work. It did not work from my office
m/c.

Hi I have the exact same problem. I tried all combinations for domain,
username, webspace and all I get is Invalid credentials. I tried on
XP-Java1.6 and Mac with Java 1.6 with and without proxy, I still have the
same problem. I have a domain name.
Please advice..

Hey great, finally got it to work - I would suggest making the import and
export buttons clearer - took me ages to work it out.

(how about 'download from net' and 'upload to net' ?)

This still appears to be an issue with 1.0.4 on Linux.

I have a Google Apps-hosted site and therefore I don't have the "less
secure access" option. I've followed all the above instructions and I'm
certain that my settings are correct.

Is this tool still supported for Google Apps customers?

Credentials error no matter which arguments I enter
https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42

I've had a daily job running with 1.0.4 on Ubuntu Linux for months now
which exports my site using the command line.

I have a Google Apps site.

A few days ago I started seeing this error happening every time I attempt
an export:

Jun 02, 2015 3:00:04 AM com.google.sites.liberation.export.Main doMain
SEVERE: Invalid User Credentials!
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:

I had changed nothing - neither my login credentials nor the script.

Clearly Google has changed something on their end that has caused this to
break.

Is anyone looking further into this issue?

I am a Google Apps user with 2-step authentication enabled, and I can't get
this to work anymore. I tried an Application Specific Password, but no
luck. Also as noted above the "Less Secure Apps" option is not available to
Google Apps customers.

Same here. I had enabled less-secure-apps when that option first started
blocking access to google sites liberation. That solved the problem for a
while, but now the invalid-credentials error occurs even with
less-secure-apps enabled, so google sites liberation no longer works.

I've been fighting this for like a month now and Google hasn't helped at
all.
I have a Google Apps site that cannot be exported anymore.
Reaching out asking if anybody has found a solution to the 'Invalid
Credentials' message of death?

I have a Google Apps site. I have a daily cron job to do the export.

I started seeing the error at the start of June. It started working again
June 13 - 23 but then it broke again June 24 and hasn't worked since.

Can anyone help?

Comment #37 on issue 42 by dexe...@gmail.com: Invalid User Credentials

error no matter which arguments I enter
https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42

It's broken for me too, and I've tried everything suggested in this thread
several times over. No luck. And I just got an automated e-mail saying
someone who knew my password was trying to log onto my account. Yep,
Google, that would be ME.

Very frustrating. I have a large website on Google Sites that I need to
back up.

https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42

As a new user I though how open minded Google was with this facility, but
it is difficult to get it to work and I have not managed yet. Using Mac Os
X 10.9.5 and Liberation 1.0.4.
My site is citybowlr...@gmail.com, but links to our old domain name
of cibra.co.za
It is NOT an Apps site.
I think i have tried all the work arounds I can find on the blogs.
Maybe I should just keep switching on and off like the standard IT help
desk response?

Google uses OAuth2 instead of user account/password.

I fixed the GUI interface.
<https://github.com/sih4sing5hong5/google-sites-liberation>

But I have no idea about OAuth2 with command lines.

I tried the new Version and copy/pasted the token.
Now I get the following message:

"Retrieving site data (this may take a few minutes).
No data returned. You may have provided invalid Site information or
credentials."

It seems that login worked and parser failed.

Did the previous versions work?

It used to work, but I think that has been more than a year back.

I'm not sure the login worked. The error message is the same when I make
random changes to the security token.

Who ever wrote Google sites liberation, thank you very much indeed.

but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,!

make it put out some sensible error messages.
"invalid user credentials" is absolutely useless.

if the program detects an error then it must know where, and what the error
is, so PLEASE let us know what box needs changing, and how , and why, and
give an example of the correct format of input for the error box.

or if the PW is in valid say so.

at the moment "invalid credentials" seems to mean any one, or more of 6
values may be wrong, which means we have to work out from 6x5x4x3x2
possible problems.

thanks again though, its invaluable when it works, but even the same
settings week to week randomly work or mainly dont.

i think i speak for most people on this forum - guys, and ladies, please
vote this up or copy it if thats so.

sincerely

Comment #45 on issue 42 by ihc...@gmail.com: Invalid User Credentials error

no matter which arguments I enter
https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=42

I published the version 1.0.6 for new error message.

for @Retter, you can try again

I think GSL cannot parse your articles because some types of articles are
not supported.

It need someone to add parser for other types.

I only fixed the login function from version 1.0.4.


for @Matt

Where did you get "invalid user credentials" ?

In GUI version?

@ihc: Thank you! Thanks to the error message I got it working.

Problem was: I set Domain to "Google.com" instead of "site"
--> I suggest changing the missleading screenshot on the start page.

I've been having the same problem as above with "Invalid User Credentials!"

The 1.0.6 GUI update works (even though I usually use the command line) but
for some of the webpages I get "The class of page is not supported!The
class of page:class com.google.gdata.data.sites.ListItemEntry"

Also, is there a way to pass the app authentication token using the command
line?
