OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Cosmos DB using the browser. The adapter facilitates this in various ways as described below.

Custom Credentials

Instead of connecting with the adapter's embedded credentials, you can register an app with Custom Credentials to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

When to Create a Custom OAuth App

Creating a custom OAuth app is optional as the adapter is already registered with Cosmos DB and you can connect with its embedded credentials. You might want to create a custom OAuth app to change the information displayed when users log into the Cosmos DB OAuth endpoint to grant permissions to the adapter.

Creating a Custom OAuth App

See Creating a Custom OAuth App for a procedure.
