Using OAuth Authentication
First, you will need to register an OAuth application with Retently. You can do so by "Login to your Retently account" and "Navigate to https://app.retently.com/settings/oauth page". Your Oauth application will be assigned a client id and a client secret.
After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
- OAuthClientId: Set this to the client_id that is specified in you app settings.
- OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client_secret that is specified in you app settings.
- CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI of your choice.For example http://localhost:33345
- InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
Example connection string:
Profile=C:\profiles\Retently.apip;ProfileSettings='InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url';
