I want to use Google Calendar as the calendar application for my
website, with my own UI being used to present the data. For this, I
created a single user with a single calendar that the site will use.
So, obviously I have both the username and password for this account.
I have no problem authenticating with Google Calendar running form the
web server on my local machine using the "Account Authentication for
Installed Applications" described at
"http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/AuthForInstalledApps.html";,
however when I run the web app from my host server, the authentication
fails.
As far as i can see with the "Account Authentication Proxy for
Web-Based Applications" described at
"http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/AuthForWebApps.html";, in order to
authenticate with the server, my site will be directed to a google page
asking the user to authenticate with it. However, this process should
be completely transparent to the user - they won't and shouldn't know
the user/pass for the account backing the calendar.
Therefore, my question is this: is it possible for a web application to
automatically authenticate with Google Calendar without requesting user
input? I'm using PHP, not one of the GData APIs.
