Gadgets and Dashboards 2.0 : Configuring OAuth Consumer Information
This page last changed on Sep 21, 2009 by ggaskell.
This page provides an introduction to the 'Consumer Info' section of an Atlassian application's OAuth administration page. It also shows you how to edit this information. On this page: The 'Consumer Info' page contains information that identifies your Atlassian application (as a consumer) to a service provider application. If you require your Atlassian application to access the resources of a service provider, which could be another Atlassian application, the service provider could obtain and keep a record your Atlassian application's consumer information for identification purposes. As long as this record is kept by the service provider, your Atlassian application should have permission to access the service provider's resources via OAuth. If the service provider is another Atlassian application, then the administrator of that service provider can add your Atlassian application as a consumer via the 'Consumers' tab of their OAuth administration page. Be aware that your Atlassian application's OAuth consumer information is only useful if a service provider's OAuth administration features are capable of obtaining and recording your Atlassian application's consumer information. If, however, a service provider does not possess these features, then you must obtain a 'consumer key' and 'shared secret' from the service provider and establish an OAuth relationship with that service provider via your Atlassian application's 'Service Providers' tab. An Atlassian application's OAuth consumer information consists of the following components, all of which are used by the service provider to identify your Atlassian application as a consumer of its resources:
