Creating an OAuth 1.0 Shared Resource

To use the plug-in activities, you need to create an OAuth 1.0 authentication resource to access Twitter.

OAuth provides a method for clients to access server resources on behalf of a resource owner such as a different client or a user.

Prerequisites

The OAuth 1.0 protocol is used to authenticate and authorize access to Twitter applications. Before creating an OAuth 1.0 resource, ensure that you have generated an access token. See Authentication and Authorization for more details.

Procedure

  1. Create a project in TIBCO Business Studio, as described in Creating a Project.
  2. Expand the created project in the Project Explorer view.
  3. Right-click the Resources folder and select New > OAuth 1.0 Resource.
  4. Type a name in the Resource Name field in the OAuth 1.0 Resource window. Click Finish.
  5. Configure the OAuth 1.0 resource in the displayed editor.
    See OAuth 1.0 for more details regarding the configuration parameters.
