Answer 1

The authentication method varies based on the scenario of your application. The scenarios reported by Google documentation are:

• Login
• Web Server Applications
• Client-side Applications
• Installed Applications Devices
• Service Accounts

In your case, the Web Server Application scenario might be useful (if you give more details about what do you mean for "In my case I need a server to authenticate" I can be more precise about this point).

However, the recommended alternative to ClientLogin is OAuth2.
