OAuth credentials are used for third party applications to authenticate with Google. As an administrator, you may be required to generate these credentials and share them securely with authorised people so they can be defined as configuration for applications.
What you need to know
Before you can create an OAuth credential, you will need to know the following details
- Authorized JavaScript origins: The URL that traffic will come from
- Authorized Redirect URIs: The URL where OAuth should redirect to after login
What you need to provide
Once a credential has been created, you will need to share the following with the third party application developer or administrator.
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Google Apps Domain (Optional)
