Environment Setup

parse dash and server on docker.

I need to get a sessionToken from a ParseUser object.Per the answer here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33492263/how-to-create-a-parse-user-account-from-a-android-google-token/33631230 I need to turn off revokable sessions via the app settings interface. This is available via the parse.com dashboard, and is fone for apps that I migrated from parse.com to parse server, but for the new app I am making, the parse.com dashboard doesnt have a listing.

How do I get to the app and other settings for a project that was never on parse.com?

This depends on the setting. Non-revocable sessions are not available in Parse Server. Some other settings are controlled through the Parse Server initialization code. You can check the Parse Server README and docs for more info.

The specific one I need is the revocable settings as that SO question outlines. I need to retrieve the sessionToken from my Parse User and currently it just returns null due to the revocable sessions setting.

Bit convoluted, but for anyone who ends up here after the same search, to get the token for a user you need to

• login with g+ on phone
• get token via GoogleAuthUtil.getToken()
• send token to parse cloud
• verify token azp, aud, and email against https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?access_token=
• Search for the user with the matching email.
• Search for sessions q.equalTo("user", user);
• Send back the sessionToken from the Session object you found.

Revocable sessions aren't part of Parse Server. Unfortunately you will need to use a different strategy than the one presented in that SO question.

Gotcha. Was able to get it using that question as a starting point. I just had to manually query the sessions and find the correct one.

That makes sense. You should consider posting an answer to that Stack Overflow and contributing back to the community!
