Get and Refresh the OAuth Access Token

After setting the following, you are ready to connect:

• OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id assigned when you registered your app.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret assigned when you registered your app.
• CallbackURL: Set this to the redirect URI defined when you registered your app.
• CompanyFileId: You can find this by starting MYOB, opening your data file on the application UI and selecting Help -> About MYOB.
• User: Set this to the username associated with your company file.
• Password: Set this to the password associated with your company file.

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