OAuth Access

The Configuration > Account Management > OAuth Access page generates an access code that allows a service or script to gain access to the Flow Gateway without providing a user name and password. Flow Gateway uses the access code to authenticate the script or service instead of using login credentials.

To generate an OAuth access code,

  1. On the OAuth Access page, click Generate new.  

  2. Enter a short description for the script that will be accessing Flow Gateway and click OK. Flow Gateway generates an access code and displays it in a popup window.

  3. Copy the access code and save it for use in your application or script.

  4. Close the OAuth Access Code window and observe that there is now an entry for your access code on the OAuth Access page.

You can view the access code or delete it using the controls on the OAuth Access page.
