  • Hi Sino Thomas,

    You can create the OAuth key by Admin->OAuth Key.

    After creating it you can use it for your user for which you want to use and pass the following arguments for authentication.


    $oauth2_token_arguments = array(
    "grant_type" => "password",
    //client id - default is sugar.
    //It is recommended to create your own in Admin > OAuth Keys
    "client_id" => "sugar",
    "client_secret" => "",
    "username" => $username,
    "password" => $password,
    //platform type - default is base.
    //It is recommend to change the platform to a custom name such as "custom_api" to avoid authentication conflicts.
    "platform" => "custom_api"
    );

  • Hello , I am dealing with the same issue, however I have no option to create a key in OAuth Key Menu. What would you suggest to do in this case? 

  • If you are looking for a "long term auth token", sugar does not have this.

    if you try to integrate a tool that does not handle sugar auth, I recommend you to build a custom entry point with "noLoginRequired" and implement your own security check. (ensure to set the current_user before doing any db call)

    NB: Sugar teams is currently trying to see if they can remove this option, I doubt it will be in a near future since they don't provide any other standard way to secure WS integrations.
