Creating a Custom OAuth Application

Creating a Custom OAuth Application

CData embeds OAuth Application Credentials with CData branding that can be used in NetSuite SuiteTalk when connecting to NetSuite via a desktop application or a headless machine. If you want to use the embedded OAuth application, all you need to do to connect is to:

  • set AuthScheme to OAuth,
  • get and set the OAuthAccessToken, and
  • set the necessary configuration parameters.

(For information on getting and setting the OAuthAccessToken and other configuration parameters, see the Desktop Authentication section of "Connecting to NetSuite".)

However, you must create a custom OAuth application to connect to NetSuite via the Web. And since custom OAuth applications seamlessly support all three commonly-used auth flows, you might want to create custom OAuth applications (use your own OAuth Application Credentials) for those auth flows anyway.

Custom OAuth applications are useful if you want to:

  • control branding of the authentication dialog;
  • control the redirect URI that the application redirects the user to after the user authenticates; or
  • customize the permissions that you are requesting from the user.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Setup > Integrations > Manage Integrations.
  2. For OAuth 1.0 support (TBA), select both Token-Based Authentication and TBA: Authorization Flow

    For OAuth 2.0 support, select Authorization Code Grant, Restlets, and Rest Web Services.

  3. Set a Callback URL for your application:
    • For Desktop, set the Callback URL to https://localhost:portnumber and set CallbackURL to match. You can specify any port available.
    • For Web, set the Callback URL to a page on your website where you would like the user to be returned after the user grants permissions to your app.
    • For Headless machines, set a Callback URL in the format https://localhost:portnumber. You can specify any port available.
  4. Obtain the following connection properties:
    • OAuthClientId (Desktop only) =the Consumer Key assigned when you registered your app.
    • OAuthClientSecret = the Consumer Secret assigned when you registered your app.
    • CallbackURL = the Redirect URI defined when you registered your app, such as https://localhost:33333. Note that this must be an exact match, including any trailing '/' characters.
