OAuth server

The "OAuth server" section specifies the OAuth client secret that is used to authenticate Kapplets users with Management Console and provide additional security.

Prerequisites:

• In a standard environment, the client secret can be provided with the Kapplets properties file. When Management Console is started, the client secret is automatically taken from the properties file. If not provided with the properties file, Management Console automatically generates the client secret when started for the first time. It is then stored in the Management Console database and remains unchanged until you explicitly generate a new one by clicking the Change button. For more information, see "Install Kapplets" in the Kofax RPA Installation Guide.

• In a Docker environment, the client secret must be provided with one of the dedicated Docker environment variables. When the Management Console is started on Docker, the client secret is automatically taken from the environment variable. It will remain unchanged until you explicitly generate a new one by clicking the Change button. For more information, see "Install Kapplets" > "Docker Installation" in the Kofax RPA Installation Guide.

To start authenticating Kapplets users with Management Console, copy the client secret from the Management Console and paste it into the field on the Administration > OAuth Client Secret tab in Kapplets.

If the secret token is not provided in Kapplets or is changed in the Management Console, no data will be transferred from the Management Console into Kapplets until the administrator manually copies and pastes the (new) token into Kapplets, which can be done either on the OAuth Client Secret tab in Kapplets or in the dedicated field at login.
