Authenticate using the Embedded OAuth Credentials

Desktop Authentication with the Embedded OAuth App

You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. After setting the following, you are ready to connect:

• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• BusinessUnitID: Set this to your business unit id.

When you connect the provider opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The provider then completes the OAuth process.

1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
2. Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation so the the values persist across connections.
