User Accounts

Desktop Authentication with a Custom OAuth App

Follow the steps below to authenticate with the credentials for a custom OAuth app. See Creating a Custom OAuth App.

Get and Refresh the OAuth Access Token

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.
• OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id specified in the UAA service JSON file.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client Secret specified in the UAA service JSON file.
• Url: Set this to the OData service endpoint.
• XSUAAURL: Set this to the UAA service host.
• CallbackURL: Set this to http://localhost:33333.

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

1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
2. Refreshes the access token when it expires.
3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
