Creating a Custom OAuth App

When to Create a Custom OAuth App

CData embeds OAuth Application Credentials with CData branding that can be used when connecting via either a Desktop Application or from a Headless Machine. Creating a custom OAuth application is, however, required when using a web application.

You may choose to create your own OAuth Application Credentials when you want to

  • control branding of the Authentication Dialog
  • control the redirect URI that the application redirects the user to after the user authenticates
  • customize the permissions that you are requesting from the user

Follow the steps below to create a custom OAuth app and obtain the connection properties in a specific OAuth authentication flow.

Create a Custom OAuth App: Desktop

Sign up to https://developer.act-on.com/provision/. After registering your account on ActOn you will get an email with the following connection properties:

  • OAuthClientId
  • OAuthClientSecret
The default value for the callback URL is http://localhost:80. If you would like to change it you need to contact the API support for ActOn.

Create a Custom OAuth App: Headless Machines

Sign up to https://developer.act-on.com/provision/. After registering your account on ActOn you will get an email with the following connection properties:

  • OAuthClientId
  • OAuthClientSecret
The default value for the callback URL is http://localhost:80. If you would like to change it you need to contact the API support for ActOn.
