Automatic OAuth configuration

Automatic configuration generates a different OAuth key/secret for each configured data source for the portal and persists this information to the Portal Parameters form in each applicable back office site.

  1. In the Portal Manager, select Portal Configuration > External Interface.
  2. Select the Open Authentication tab.
  3. Click Auto Configure.
  4. Select the type of portal that you are currently logged in to. Configured data sources that will be registered for this portal are displayed.
  5. In the user account field, specify a back office user account. For example, you could specify the user that was set up as the sender of rich-HTML portal email. The account must belong to the Portal Data Admin group.
  6. Click Apply and Yes. An OAuth consumer key and consumer secret are generated for each configured data source. They are added here on the Open Authentication tab and on the Portal Parameters form for each applicable site in the back office. The portal URL is also added on the Portal Parameters form for each site.
  7. Click OK and close the form.
