Out of band applications

Some service providers also offer a mechanism to authorize OAuth applications without using a callback. This is known as out-of-band. Management Console also supports out-of-band authorization. The application created at your service provider must be registered as an out-of-band application. For example, at Twitter this is done simply by leaving the callback URL field blank.

  1. Leave the callback URL field blank when creating a Twitter application.
  2. When registering the application in Management Console, leave the callback URL field blank here.

    When adding users to the application, clicking the authorization link does not redirect back to the Management Console. Instead, the service provider presents a verifier or PIN.



  3. In the Verifier field, enter the PIN provided by your service provider.
  4. Click Next.

    When the user is successfully authorized, the Retrieve access tokens tab is opened with the Access token and Access token secret fields filled out. Click Finish.
