Create an outbound REST message

Create outbound rest message to authorize instance as authorization server.

Before you begin

Role required: oauth_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to System Web Services > Outbound > REST Message and then click New.

  2. Fill out the form fields for the OAuth application record as described in .

    Note the following field values:

    • Endpoint: URL of the instance that is the authorization server.
    • Authentication type: OAuth 2.0.
    • OAuth profile: OAuth profile that you created for the client server.
    • On the REST message record, click Get OAuth Token.
  3. Authenticate with the instance that provides the token—the method depends on the single-sign on integration.

    You might use:

    • Your username and password that you use to authenticate to the instance.
    • The username and password for the IdP if is enabled. Click Use External Login to access the IdP login screen.

      Note: In order to automatically get redirected to the IdP login page, you must set the glide.authenticate.external system property.

    • Your code, if MFA is enabled.

    • Click Allow or Deny to complete the authorization and issue the tokens.

    The process that follows is outlined in OAuth authorization code grant flow.
