OAuth 2.0 is a protocol used to secure authorization to access resources. To integrate OAuth 2.0 with UiPath, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials: Depending on the OAuth 2.0 provider, you may need to register your application and obtain client ID, client secret, and a redirect URL.
  2. Use the UiPath Web API activities to build a workflow that performs the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. This usually involves sending a request to the authorization endpoint to get an authorization code, sending a request to the token endpoint to exchange the authorization code for an access token, and sending a request to the protected resource endpoint with the access token in the authorization header.
  3. Store the access token securely: Depending on your use case, you may want to store the access token in a secure database or in an encrypted file.

Properties of OAuth 2.0 used in UiPath integration:

  1. Grant Types: The grant types determine how the client application will receive an access token. UiPath supports several grant types such as authorization code, client credentials, password, and implicit.
  2. Token endpoint: The token endpoint is the endpoint on the authorization server where the client application can exchange an authorization code for an access token.
  3. Authorization endpoint: The authorization endpoint is the endpoint on the authorization server where the client application sends the user to authenticate and grant authorization.
  4. Client ID and secret: The client ID and secret are used to identify the client application to the authorization server.
  5. Access token: The access token is a string that grants access to the protected resource.
  6. Redirect URL: The redirect URL is the URL that the authorization server will redirect the user to after they grant authorization.
