There are two types of app authentication available: using a client secret and using a certificate. You can use any of them depending on the configured app authentication.

Desktop Authentication with Your OAuth App

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

Get an OAuth Access Token

You are ready to connect after setting one of the below connection properties groups depending on the authentication type.

1. Authenticating using a Client Secret
   • OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id in your app settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client Secret in your app settings.
   • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URL in your app settings.
   • AuthScheme: Set this to the "AzureAD" in your app settings.
   • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken. .
2. Authenticating using a Certificate
   • OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id in your app settings.
   • OAuthJWTCert: Set this to the JWT Certificate store.
   • OAuthJWTCertType: Set this to the type of the certificate store specified by OAuthJWTCert.
   • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URL in your app settings.
   • AuthScheme: Set this to the "AzureAD" in your app settings.
   • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken. .

When you connect the adapter opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The adapter 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 to be persisted across connections.
