Authentication
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| OAuth 2 |
Authentication Hub
Verified
This connector is globally authenticated and verified by Appmixer and is ready to use without registering your own OAuth application with the provider. Appmixer's Authentication Hub acts as an authentication proxy, so all OAuth-based connectors work out of the box. You can still use your own OAuth credentials (clientId and clientSecret) for enhanced customization or compliance — see the Connector Configuration section of the documentation. The Authentication Hub is enabled for all hosted Appmixer tenants; on self-managed installations it has to be explicitly set. |
