Note
OAuth is an authorization framework that allows third-party access to other web services
without the need for the third-party application to know your credential, for example,
password. Limited use access tokens are provided to the third-party application to restrict
the access on the hosting service. More information is available on the OAuth website ht-
tp://oauth.net .
As most people have Google+ accounts now, we have to set the format of the nicks to full
names. Otherwise, we will see random strings as nicknames:
account gtalk set nick_format %full_name
Finally, enable the account with:
acc gtalk on
BitlBee will send a private message to a URL for your OAuth login:
<jabber_oauth> Open this URL in your browser to
authenticate:
https://...
<jabber_oauth> Respond to this message with the returned
authorization token.
Clicking on the link will prompt you to accept BitlBee's permissions, which should look
like the following screenshot. After clicking on Accept , you'll receive a code, which you
can then paste back into the private message window.
