Configuring OAuth Connection Settings

Open Authorization (OAuth) is a token-based technique of authentication and authorization used to provide Single Sign On (SSO).

This technique allows the user’s account information to be used by third-party applications / service without revealing the user’s password.It acts as an intermediary on behalf of the end user, providing the service with an access token that authorizes specific account information to be shared. The SSO OAuth section allows you to configure and manage OAuth connection. For a more in-depth guide click below.
