To create a Slack application to represent the connector
-
Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and create an application.
NOTE: When you create the application, ensure that the Redirect URL matches the location where you will run the OAuth configuration tool, for example
http://localhost:7878/
, as specified by theRedirectURL
parameter in the OAuth tool configuration fileoauth_tool.cfg

After you create the application, Slack will provide an application key (or client ID), and an application secret (or client secret). You will need this information when you configure OAuth authentication.
