Creating a Custom OAuth Application

The following procedure registers a custom OAuth application in the admin console and obtains the OAuth client credentials, the consumer key and consumer secret:

1. Access Setup.
   (If you are connecting from a Desktop application, you can access Setup by logging into Salesforce.com and clicking your user name.)
2. Open a new application.
   • If your organization uses the Salesforce Lightning Experience UI:
     1. Search for "App" in the Quick Find box.
     2. Select App ManagerA (not Manage Connected Apps).
     3. Click New Connected App.
   • If your organization uses the Salesforce Classic UI:
     1. Search for "Apps" in the Quick Find box.
     2. Under Build or Create, select Apps.
     3. Under Connected Apps, click New.
3. Enter a name to be displayed to users when they log in to grant permissions to your application. Also supply a contact email address.
4. Select Enable OAuth Settings.
5. Enter a value in the Callback URL box.
   • If this is a desktop application, set the Callback URL to http://localhost:33333 or a different port number of your choice.
   • If this is a Web application, set the Callback URL to a Website page where you want the user to be returned to, after they have authorized your application.
6. Assign the following OAuth scopes:
   • Access and manage your wave data (wave_api)
   • Access and manage your data (api)
   • Perform requests on your behalf at any time (refresh_token, offline_token)

After your application is created, click the new application name. The admin console displays the OAuth client credentials, the consumer key, and consumer secret. Record this information for later use.
