Connections

OAuth 2.0

OAuth 2.0 connection for ArcGIS

ArcGIS requires a Developer Account to create applications for OAuth.

To obtain Oauth credentials:

  1. Navigate to https://developers.arcgis.com/dashboard/.
  2. Navigate to the Oauth 2.0 section and select + New Application.
  3. Once application is created document your Client ID, Client Secret, and Temporary Token.
  4. In the Redirect URLs section select + Add URI and enter https://oauth2.flowbuilder.eu.lansweeper.com/callback for EU sites or https://oauth2.flowbuilder.us.lansweeper.com/callback for US sites.
  5. Enter the Client ID, Client Secret, and Temporary Token in the designated fields of your integration connection configuration.

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations.
Read about how OAuth 2.0 works here.
