Connecting to Logikura
To authenticate to Logikura, you can use the OAuth standard to connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data.
Using OAuth Authentication
First you will need to create an OAuth app. To do so, navigate to 'https://logikura.com/oauth/applications', and click Create New Application button. Give the application name, Redirect URL, and click Register. You will then be given your Client Secret and Client ID
After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
- AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
- OAuthClientID: Set this to the OAuth Client ID that is specified in your app settings.
- OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the OAuth Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
- CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
- InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
Example Connection String
Profile=Logikura.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
