Configuring OAuth

You can create, approve, and delete OAuth keys and manage server friends lists.

The OAuth protocol enables Web sites or applications (consumers) to access protected resources from a Web service (service provider) through an API without requiring users to disclose their service provider credentials to the consumers.

Jazz™ Team Servers communicate with each other and share data by establishing OAuth keys to create friend relationships between the servers and to manage the list of cooperating servers. Generally, the only time you must configure OAuth is when you are generating an OAuth consumer key for applications that are acquired from another vendor. For this reason, an approval process is required for approving consumer keys.

For more information about OAuth, see http://oauth.net.
