You must configure OAuth authentication so that the connector can authenticate with Slack.
NOTE: There is no need to complete this procedure if you ran the OAuth configuration tool during the installation process.
To configure OAuth authentication
oauth_tool.cfg
in a text editor.In the [Default]
section, specify any SSL or proxy settings necessary to connect to Slack:
SSLMethod
|
The version of SSL/TLS to use. |
ProxyHost
|
The host name or IP address of the proxy server that the connector must use. |
ProxyPort
|
The port of the proxy server that the connector must use. |
For example:
SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE ProxyHost=10.0.0.1 ProxyPort=8080
In the [OAuthTool]
section, set the following parameters:
AppKey
|
The application key that was provided by Slack when you set up an application to represent the connector. |
AppSecret
|
The application secret that was provided by Slack when you set up an application to represent the connector. |
RedirectUrl
|
The URL at which the OAuth tool runs. This must match the Redirect URL that you configured when you created the application to represent the connector. |
Do not modify the other parameters in this section.
Open a command-line window and run oauth_tool.exe
.
Your default web browser opens to the Slack web site. The web page asks you to authorize the connector to access Slack.
Authorize the application.
The OAuth tool creates a file named oauth.cfg
, which contains the parameters that the connector requires to authenticate with Slack.
You can merge these parameters into the connector configuration file using the following syntax:
[MyTask] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]
For more information about including parameters from another file, see Include an External Configuration File.
The OAuth tool also prints the parameters it has set to the command-line window.
