Register out-of-band applications

Some service providers offer a mechanism to authorize OAuth applications without using a callback. This is known as out-of-band. Management Console supports out-of-band authorization.

The application you create at the service provider's website must be registered as an out-of-band application. See Create service provider applications.

The following example shows how to register an out-of-band-application at X (formerly Twitter).

  1. Create the application, and leave the callback URL field blank.
  2. Register the application in Management Console, and leave the callback URL field blank.
  3. Add the OAuth clients.

    When you add the OAuth clients, clicking the authorization link does not redirect you back to the Management Console. Instead, the service provider presents a verifier PIN, such as the following.

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

    When the OAuth client is successfully authorized, the Retrieve access tokens tab is opened with the Access token and Refresh token fields completed.

  6. Click Finish.
