Authentication Information - CIC Studio Auth Vault Creation (for eBay)

The eBay Connector supports OAuth2.0 Client credentials and Code Flow Grant Type authentication. When creating a Connector, you must first store the authorization information in an Authorization Vault, which provides a secure storage location for API keys, tokens, headers, and other info used to authorize calls to external Web Services. In order for a Cloud Connector to work, this vault entry must exist and be configured for the external application you wish to communicate with.

Steps

Follow the below steps to create a new vault entry.

1. From the CIC Studio, go to File>New>Cloud Connector. This opens the Select Vault Entry screen.

   

2. Click the + button to create a new vault entry. Alternatively, you can select an existing vault alias from the list.
3. Provide the vault entry alias name and select the environment and hit Next.

4. Select eBay from the list and hit Next.

   1. Environment: Select between Sandbox and Production application environment based on the requirement. If a sandbox environment is to be created for testing purposes, then refer to the steps to create a sandbox account.

      

   2. Enter the client id, client secret, and Redirect URI of Sandbox or Production environment as per requirement. Please refer to OAuth Scopes to identify the required scopes. Add the required client credentials and code grant flow scopes to the respective section on the above page.

   Note: Each scope must be separated by a space.
