• OAuthClientId: Set this to the Consumer Key assigned when you registered your app.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Consumer Secret assigned when you registered your app.
• Scope: Set this value to match what your app has access to when using OAuth 2.0. Set it to restlets, rest_webservices, or restlets rest_webservices.
