An OAuth 'consumer' is an application that accesses ('consumes') data from another application. When you add an OAuth consumer in Bamboo, you are allowing the consumer application to access Bamboo's data. For example, if you want your users to be able to add Bamboo gadgets to their iGoogle homepages, then you will need to add iGoogle as an OAuth consumer.

Please see the information below for instructions on adding and removing OAuth consumer information for Bamboo. Additional information is also available in our Gadgets and Dashboards documentation.

Adding an OAuth consumer

To add an OAuth consumer,

5. 次のいずれかの対応が可能です。
   • If the consumer is another Atlassian application (e.g. JIRA), type the consumer's root URL in the 'Consumer Base URL' field (e.g. "http://jira.mycompany.com"), so that Bamboo can automatically look up the consumer's details for you;
     OR:
   • Enter the consumer's details yourself:
     1. 'Consumer Key' — Type the consumer's unique identifier (e.g. for iGoogle, type "www.google.com").
     2. 'Name' — Type a short name that is meaningful to you and your end-users (e.g. "iGoogle").
     3. 'Description' (optional) — Type a longer description if you wish.
     4. 'Public Key' — Paste the consumer's RSA certificate, e.g. you can copy the iGoogle one from here: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/oauth.html#rsa.
     5. 'Callback URL' (optional) — Type the URL of the page that Bamboo will redirect to after an end-user has approved the Oauth request, to let the consumer application (e.g. iGoogle) know about the result of the approval. E.g. for iGoogle, type "http://oauth.gmodules.com/gadgets/oauthcallback".
6. Click the 'Add' button. You can edit any of these fields (apart from the 'Consumer Key') after the consumer has been added.

Removing an OAuth consumer

To remove an OAuth consumer,

1. Log in as a user with the 'Admin' global permission.
2. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
3. In the left-hand menu, under the title 'Security', click the 'OAuth Consumers' link. The 'OAuth Administration' page will be displayed, showing a list of configured OAuth Consumers (if any exist).
4. Locate the consumer that you wish to remove and click the 'Remove' link next to it. A confirmation message will display.
5. Confirm the removal of the consumer. Any request tokens created by this consumer application will be removed and the application will no longer be able to access Bamboo's data/resources.
