Adding an HTTP PATCH Client connection using OAuth 2.0

Add an HTTP PATCH Client connection that uses OAuth2.0 so you can send PATCH-supported HTTP requests to HTTP and HTTPS-enabled servers.

Before you begin

The steps and fields change depending on your selected grant type.

Procedure

1. Create an HTTP PATCH Client connection.

2. Enter the Base URL.

   For example, https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token

3. Set the Authentication Type to OAuth 2.0.

4. For Grant Type, select one of the following:

   a. Authorization Code — An authorization code is exchanged for an access token.

   b. Resource Owner Credentials — The resource owner’s credentials (user name and password) are sent to a client, which forwards them in a request to an authorization server for an access token. The server then returns an access token (and optionally a refresh token) to the client.

   c. Client Credentials — The client authenticates themselves with a client ID and client secret.

5. Enter the Client ID used with the application.

6. Click Client Secret and enter the password obtained from the application.

7. Authorization Code — Enter the Authorization Token URL.

8. In the Scope field, enter an optional, space-delimited list that defines permission restrictions and resource limitations for the access token.

9. Authorization Code — Add an Authorization Parameter name and value.

10. Enter the Access Token URL.

11. Optional: Add an Access Token Parameter name and value.

12. Authorization Code and Resource Owner — Click Generate and then click Accept to authenticate.

    A message indicates if the access token was successful. In the main window, the encrypted access token appears in the Access Token field.

13. Click Save to save the connection configuration.
