IBM Connections OAuth Setup

Register OAuth

In order for Buzzy to authenticate with your Connections environment, you must define a new OAuth widget.

---

1. SSH to the IBM Connections Deployment Manager (substitute the alias)

     ssh root@[DEPLOY_MANAGER_ALIAS]
   

2. Start wsadmin (substiture your credentials)

     cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/
     ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -username connectionsadmin -password passw0rd
   

3. Register the new application definition

     execfile('oauthAdmin.py')
     OAuthApplicationRegistrationService.addApplication('buzzy', 'buzzy', 'https://<BUZZY_URL>/pre-oauth-connections/buzzy')
   

   Where [BUZZY_URL] is the URL of the Buzzy installation specified previously

4. To view the uniquely created client clientSecret

     OAuthApplicationRegistrationService.getApplicationById('buzzy')
   

   These commands will print the definition. Please take note of the clientSecret. We will use this later on.
