Oauth 2.0 : facing issue to get authorization code

Hey Vishwajeet

What community are you trying this for?  The redirect_url would have been defined for your community when the client id was set up.  If you didn't provide us with one when requesting your client id and secret, normally we would have just used your base community url, but I can check this for you.

Thanks

Hi NoamanA,

Can you please check the redirect_uri of our community. 

Here, we tried with base_url of community. 

URL used :

https://<community_base_url>/auth/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<client_ID>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=<community_base_url>

And Got this error.

Could you please provide us the sample URL for this call.

Also is there any particular configuration for this in Admin console, where we can get the values of client_ID, redirect_uri, etc.

Thank you.

Regards,

Vishwajeet.

Hey Vishwajeet

Unfortunately, there isn't a customer facing portal for you to retrieve your client id and url.  You didn't specify which community you are talking about but I think it's Comity?

The redirect url should be entered as comity.stage.lithium.com (I assume you are working on stage?).

If you still encounter issues, please respond back to the Support ticket where we first provided you the client id details.  We might need to share confidential details like your client id for example, which we cannot do over a public forum like this.

Hi @NoamanA,,

I am facing same issue.

I tried below steps :-

1. login into community

2. send GET request from postman/poster for below URL
https://comity.stage.lithium.com/auth/oauth2/authorize?client_id=cpmmunity_cliend_id&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://comity.stage.lithium.com/getaccessToken

3. Getting below error in response.

Status : 500 Internal Server Error

An Unexpected Error has occurred. - comity

Please guide me.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am able to get the authentication code now.

URL I hit from browser (GET call) :-

http://comity.stage.lithium.com/auth/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[url encoded client id]&response_type=code&redirect_uri=comity.stage.lithium.com

I got redirected to another URL, which contains the authentication code :-

http://comity.stage.lithium.com/t5/oauth/comity.stage.lithium.com?code=[url encoded authentication code]&user-id=15&tenant-id=comity

I am not getting expected response for next step.

Step 2 POST /accessToken

poster call :

URL : http://comity.stage.lithium.com/auth/v1/accessToken

example request -

LJdishd:~ joan.doe$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 
"client-id: Fblkh30GinF48502kEsk4FmGslkjdfjasdj=" -d '{"client_id" :"Fblkh30GinF48502kEsk4FmGslkjdfjasdj=",
"client_secret" :"FKDDASDK309slkdfaDkdlkjie92=","grant_type" : "authorization_code",
"redirect_uri" :"http://redirect.example_community.com/getaccessToken",
"code":"i7liaoFaOjG6yDKN4tQYXrhewKog3k4ryYGWLS6hbrI="}' "http://comity.stage.lithium.com/auth/v1/accessToken"

expected response

 { 
    "response": { 
        "status": "success", 
        "message": "OK", 
        "http_code": 200, 
        "data": {
            "access_token": "o5IV0yIiNDj/5lNJ6doJh08LX6SsDwtkDXDVmhGvRtI=", 
            "expires_in": 86400, 
            "lithium_user_id": "2d8c95ed-21dc-4ba6-ab9f-d3eff9c928ce", 
            "refresh_token": "XAAWIWKr38W33SlqYooR9OEJW0um9DoyB/o843rdIxk=",
            "token_type": "bearer" 
        }
    }
}

 actual response I am getting is HTML of my  community home page.

Am I missing anything? Has anyone faced the same issue?

Any pointer are welcome.

Thanks,

Vaishnavi

Hi Vaishnavi,

I am far from being an expert on the area, but I think your URL needs to be: https://api.stage.lithium.com/auth/v1/accessToken

hi ayshe,

I treied with "http://comity.stage.lithium.com/auth/v1/accessToken", still Im getting HTML page and not JSON data.

vaishnavi  I think you misread my URL or mistyped/miscopied yours?

vaishnavi if you want the response in JSON, you usually have to add: 

?restapi.response_format=json

Have a go and let us know.

ayshe - oops, you are right. I tried with incorrect URL.

I corrected the URL and tried POST calls (with required headers and parameters) and response type mentioned in OlivierS comment.

1. URL : https://api.lithium.com

response : 500 Internal server error

2. URL : https://api.stage.lithium.com

response : 500 Internal server error

I am not sure why I am getting error in response.
