Creating a Custom OAuth Application

If you do not have access to the user name and password or do not wish to require them, you can use OAuth authentication. Kintone uses the OAuth authentication standard, which requires the authenticating user to interact with Kintone via the browser. Authenticating via OAuth requires the use of the OAuth client credentials, client Id, and client secret.

To register a custom OAuth application and obtain the OAuth client credentials, client id, and client secret:

1. Log into your Kintone and navigate to the User & System Administration page.
2. Click on OAuth under System Administration.
3. Click on the green Add OAuth Client button under Set up Advanced Services.
4. Enter in the details of the OAuth client.
5. Enter a value for the application's Redirect URI:
   • If you are making a desktop application, set the Callback URL to http://localhost:33333 or a different port number of your choice.
   • If you are making a web application, set the Callback URL to a page on your Web app that you want the user to be returned to after they have authorized your application.

6. When you have filled in all required fields, click Save.

Enabled applications are displayed in the list and the process completes.

The OAuthClientId and ClientSecret are displayed along with the information you specified when setting up the application. Record the OAuthClientID and ClientSecret for future use.
