Field Name Field Type Description

Label*

String

Specify the name for the account. We recommend that you update the account name if there is more than one account of the same account type in your project.

Default Value: N/A
Example: REST OAuth2 Account

Client ID*

String

Specify the client ID associated with your account. You can create the client ID as advised by your application provider. An example and its meaning can be found here.

Default Value: N/A
Example: p364e45x-953x-460p-9pb0-934xep16p693

Client secret*

String

The client secret associated with your account. You can create the client secret as advised by your application provider. An example and its meaning can be found here.

Default Value: N/A
Example: <Encrypted>

Access token

String

Auto-generated after authorization. Specify the token that SnapLogic uses to make API requests on behalf of the user associated with the client ID.

Default Value: N/A
Example: <Encrypted>

Refresh token

String

Auto-generated after authorization. Specify the refresh token associated with your account. If the refresh token is stored, then the access token can be refreshed automatically before it expires.

You should retrieve the Refresh token when setting up the account for the endpoint, where the OAuth2 flow is executed and the resulting refresh token is stored in this field. If the refresh token is stored, then the access token can be refreshed automatically before it expires.

Note
Users who run Pipelines with REST Snaps using OAuth2 authentication should have read/write/execute permissions. If the user has only Execute permissions, a refresh of the OAuth2 token might prompt the user's credentials. For a workaround, you can give the user running the Pipeline Write access to the Assets referenced in the Pipeline.

Info
In some REST endpoints, such as Google and Microsoft, the refresh token is not returned by the default parameters/scopes. For example, in an endpoint such as Google, to get the refresh token you need to set `access_type=offline` and `prompt=consent.`

Default Value: N/A
Example: <Encrypted>

Access token expiration

Integer

Auto-generated after authorization. Specify the access token expiration value, in seconds.

Default Value: Current Time + 3600 seconds
Example: 10000s

Header authenticated

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to indicate that the endpoint uses bearer header authentication.

Default Value: Deselected

OAuth2 Endpoint*

String

Specify the URL of the endpoint that authorizes the application.

Default Value: N/A
Example: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize

OAuth2 Token

String

Specify the URL of the endpoint that retrieves the token for an authenticated account.

Note
If you are using a REST OAuth2 Account, access the account token through `account.access_token` explicitly. The property must be marked as an expression. An example URL for LinkedIn is: `"https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~?oauth2_access_token=" + account.access_token.`

Default Value: N/A
Example: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token

Grant Type

Select one of the following methods for authorization:

Authorization Code: The user is authenticated using credentials (username and password), which return to the client through a redirect URL. The application then receives the authorization code from the URL and uses it to request an access token.
Client Credentials: Obtains an access token to the client ID and client secret through the token endpoint URL.
password: Obtains access token using your login credentials (username and password). When selected, it populates the following fields:
- Username: Enter the username of the account type.
- Password: Enter the password of the account type.

Default Value: Authorization Code
Example: client_credentials

Default Value: N/A

Token endpoint parameter value

String

Authentication parameter

String

Define an optional authorization endpoint parameter.

Default Value: N/A

Authentication parameter value

String

Specify the value associated with the optional authorization endpoint parameter defined above.

Default Value: N/A

Auto-refresh token

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to refresh the token automatically using the refresh token, if the property is enabled. If this property is deselected, the token expires and is not refreshed automatically.

Default Value: Deselected
Example: N/A

Authorize

Button

Click this button to authorize the REST OAuth2 account using the credentials provided in the Client ID, Client Secret, OAuth2 Endpoint, and OAuth2 Token fields.

Default Value: N/A
Example: N/A

Send Client Data as Basic Auth Header

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to send the client information as a header to the OAuth endpoint.

Default Value: Deselected
Example: N/A

Note
Call-back Domain: The redirect URI must be set differently in the app that is created in the endpoint: `https://<SnapLogic_POD_Name>/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest` For example: "https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest" in the screenshot below:
