Description of the tool

You will need to launch this tool if you encounter an error during deployment regarding the Authorization Server Configuration:

This can happen for many different reasons. A detailed error message can be seen in the LogMonitor tool:

Usually it is either HTTP 403 – Not authorized or HTTP 404 – Not Found:

It can be because of Windows authentication error, IIS was not accessible during deployment, Invalid network configuration…

The OAuth Administration Tool brings solutions. It can show the list of potential existing clients, register new clients or remove clients.

How it works

Small advise regarding this tool. We recommand you to unzip it in a simple directory of your system, like C:\OAuthDatabaseAdmin\

• You must run this tool as Administrator, otherwise you will not be able to use any of the tool’s features and get a message Error trying to read the clients: The underlying provider failed on Open.
• 

• If you didn’t deploy the web site with the default name ‘SV Website’, the tool will not find the OAuth.sdf database and you will get a message Error when loading database components: The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database.
• 

In that case you will have to modify OAuthDatabaseAdmin.exe.config file in the same directory. In this file you simply need to replace SV Website by the name you provide during deployment. You can open the file with notepad and modify the connectionStrings node at the end:

What it can do

Display clients list

If you run the tool as Administrator and the path to the database is correct, you will then be able to display the list of registered clients by typing 1 and Enter:

Add a new client

You will be able to add a new client in 2 or 3 steps. 2 steps for TouchVue and SnapVue clients since they are mobile secured applications. 3 steps for WebVue and WebScheduler clients because OAuth server is the only component which receive credentials and after logon it must tell somehow that the authentication was successfull. This is done via the redirect Uri (Uniform Resource Identifier).

• Step1, select option 2 = Add Client
• Step2, select the type of client
• Step3, write the binding address of your website

Remove a client

You will be able to remove a client in 2 steps.

• Step1, select option 3 = Remove Client
• Step2, write the client Id you want to remove and press Enter
