Establishing a Connection
Connecting to SugarCRM
To establish a connection to SugarCRM, set URL to the URL associated with your SugarCRM account in the form http://{sugar crm instance}.com.
Authenticating to SugarCRM
To authenticate the provider to SugarCRM, set the following:
- User: The user of the SugarCRM account.
- Password: The password associated with the SugarCRM user.
- Platform (optional): If you're encountering a login conflict during authentication, set this to one of the platforms that you have created in the SugarCRM UI.
By default, SugarCRM uses the "sugar" client id for authentication, but users can optionally specify the client Id and client secret values of a custom app. See Creating a Custom OAuth Application for more information.
- OAuthClientId: Client Id of your custom OAuth app.
- OAuthClientSecret: Client secret of your custom OAuth app.
Caching SugarCRM Metadata
Note that retrieving SugarCRM metadata can be expensive. It is advised that you store the metadata locally as described in Caching Metadata.
