To setup your OpenText app in Cobalt for OAuth, you will need the following credentials from your OpenText Developer account:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret

​
Pre-requisites

  1. OpenText Developer account. You can create one here.
  2. Signed up for Free (Trial) of Services Bundle in plans.
If you haven’t already created an app in OpenText, you’d need to create one.

​
Creating an app in OpenText

To create a OpenText app and acquire the above mentioned credentials, please follow the steps mentioned below:

  1. Log in to your OpenText Admin Center Console.
  2. Click on the Apps option under App Management in the side menu and click on + Add button > Add new standalone app.
  1. Enter the Display Name, unique App Name, Version and Description for your application and click on Save.
  2. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the Confidentials Credentials section.
  1. Go to your Apps catalog in Cobalt > Search for OpenText > Settings > Use your credentials > Callback Url > Copy it.
  2. In the app created in OpenText, navigate to Service Clients in the side menu > Select the app with matching Client ID that you received in Step 4 > Click on Manage Redirect URLs > Add URL > Paste the Callback URL and click on Save.
  1. Now navigate to Subscriber Tenants option in the side menu and click on Add to tenant. Add all the tenants here for which you want to enable the OAuth app and click on Add.

This step is necessary, otherwise the tenant will not be able to perform Auth with the app.

Configuring credentials in Cobalt

App settings page lets you configure the authentication settings for an OAuth 2.0 based application. For your customers to provide you authorization to access their data, they would first need to install your application. This page lets you set up your application credentials.

Provide the acquired Client ID and Client Secret under Settings of the app and save it.

​
Actions and triggers

Once the above setup is completed, you can create orchestrations of your use-cases using OpenText actions and triggers. Following are the set of OpenText actions and triggers supported by Cobalt.
