Custom Credentials
This section describes desktop authentication using the credentials for your custom OAuth app. See Creating a Custom OAuth App for more information.
Get an OAuth Access Token
After setting the following, you are ready to connect:
- OAuthClientId: Set to the Client ID in your app settings.
- OAuthClientSecret: Set to the Client Secret in your app settings.
- CallbackURL: Set to the Redirect URL in your app settings.
- OAuthVersion: Set to 2.0.
- Url: The URL to your Confluence endpoint; for example, https://yoursitename.atlassian.net.
- InitiateOAuth: Set to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
- Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
- Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
- Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
