Configure OAuth Authentication

Before using the connector, you must configure authentication with InfoArchive.

To configure OAuth authentication

  • To configure the NiFi Ingest connector

    1. In the NiFi web interface, right-click the processor and click Configure.
    2. Click ADVANCED, and complete the guided setup wizard. Then configure OAuth using the OAUTH SETUP tab.
  • To configure the standard connector

    1. Open the folder where you installed the connector.
    2. Open the file oauth_tool.cfg in a text editor.
    3. In the [Default] section, set any SSL or proxy settings that are required to access the repository:

      SSLMethod The version of SSL/TLS to use.
      ProxyHost The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use.
      ProxyPort The port of the proxy server to use.

      For example:

      SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE
      ProxyHost=10.0.0.1
      ProxyPort=8080
    4. In the [OAuthTool] section, set the following parameters:

      TokenUrl Set this parameter so that the OAuth Token URL matches the location where your InfoArchive application is deployed.
      AppKey The "clientId" from the InfoArchive application-CLIENTS.yml file.
      AppSecret The "clientSecret" from the InfoArchive application-CLIENTS.yml file.
      CustomValue0 The scope to use when authenticating with the InfoArchive API.
      CustomValue1 The user name to use when authenticating with the InfoArchive API.
      CustomValue2 The password to use when authenticating with the InfoArchive API.

      Do not modify the other parameters in this section.

    5. Open a command-line window and run the following command.

      oauth_tool.exe oauth_tool.cfg OAuthTool

    6. The OAuth tool displays a message stating that the files oauth.cfg and oauth2_sites.bin have been created. These files contain the information the connector needs to authenticate with InfoArchive. When you configure the connector, import the parameters from oauth.cfg into your task configuration. For more information about including parameters from another file, see Include an External Configuration File.

    7. You can now use the connector.
