Hi!

I was setting up OAuth Google authetication for sending newsletters using AcyMailing from a Joomla 3 website. This setup requires to allow this authentication. This works OK but during this process Google returns to AcyMailing (backend) and there it was blocekd by the htaccess file. The URl was:

https://www.DOMAIN.nl/administrator/?state=acymailing&code=[longstring]&scope=https://mail.google.com/

When I disable the htaccess file this works, but with the htaccess enabled this gives a 'forbidden' error. What setting in the htaccess maker would block this URL?

Kind regards,
Jip

Hello,

is this a one time task (just to grab the info) or it needs to be done frequently?

It's a one-time job. Until we need to allow it again on a reset or change.

So, I think that the long string in the code could be triggering some kind of protection. So you can't simply create an exception rule, you have to disable the protection and then activate it again.

Since you're doing something manual, I think it would be easier to simply disable the .htaccess file and then re-enable it back. If I got it right, you have to do it only on rare occasions
