Custom Credentials

You will need to register an app to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

See Custom Credentials for a procedure.

Headless Machines

There may be cases where you need to authenticate an application running on a headless server or another machine where the component is not authorized to open a browser.

See Headless Machines for instructions regarding headless OAuth.

Creating a Custom OAuth App
