Supporting OAuth without whitelisting connect.adeptia.com

In the event of Adeptia Connect users not willing to whitelist the connect.adeptia.com server to exchange data with the REST based business apps (endpoints) supported in application, they need to do the followings.

1. Register the app on the business application developer portal

   1. Create an app (API) on the developer portal of business application. For example, in case of Dropbox, create an app in the developer options.

      Once app is created, you get the following details about the app: AppKey and App KeySecret.

   2. Configure the Redirect URL which contains the IP of locally accessible environment. For example, in case of Dropbox, it will be https://<IP>/rest/applications/<Application internal name>/account URL.
      Refer to the table below to get the Application internal name for each business app.

      Application display name	Application internal name
      BigCommerce	bigcommerce
      Facebook	facebook
      FreshBooks	freshbooks
      Azure Blob	microsoftazure
      HubSpot	hubspot
      Magento	magento
      QuickBooks	quickbooks
      Xero	xero
      SageOne	sageone
      Shopify	shopify
      Concur	concur
      Salesforce	salesforcerest
      Box	box
      Dropbox	dropbox
      Google Drive	googledrive
      Zendesk	zendesk
      Zoho CRM	zohocrm
      Google Spreadsheets	googlespreadsheetsrest
      Microsoft SharePoint	microsoftsharepoint
      ServiceNow	servicenow

2. Make configurational changes in Adeptia Connect

   1. Click Account > Settings.
   2. Expand the Application Settings and then select Connector in the left panel.
      
      
      
      
   3. Expand the required connector category, for example Box, to view the properties associated with it.
      
      
      
      
   4. Double-click the corresponding value field for the following properties of the business application to set their values:
      
      1. appKey: (Key generated in business application developer app)
      2. appKeySecret: (Secret generated in business application developer app)

      3. enableProduction property to false.
         

         • The default value for this property is True, which allows connect.adeptia.com server to access the business app behind the firewall.
         • If it is set to False, the business app will use the access token received directly from the third party token provider.
      4. Click Update.
         You'll see a message saying 'Properties saved successfully'.
