Embedded OAuth Credentials

Desktop Authentication with the Embedded OAuth App

CData provides an embedded OAuth application that simplifies OAuth desktop Authentication. You do not need to provide clientId or clientSecret when using embedded credentials.

Specify the following to establish a connection:

• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• Url: Set this to the URL of your Zendesk instance.

When you connect the driver opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The driver then completes the OAuth process.

1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
2. Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
