Slack connection authentication properties

When you create a Slack connection, you can configure the connection using OAuth2 authentication properties.
To authenticate the Slack connection using OAuth2 authentication, select OAuth2 in the Authentication Type list and configure the following properties:
Property
Description
Grant Type
Required. Select the required grant type based on your use case.
Authorization URL
Required. Enter the OAuth authorization URL for the OAuth provider to authorize the user request.
For example: https://slack.com/oauth/v2/authorize
Token Request URL
Required. Enter the OAuth token request URL that handles token requests.
For example: https://slack.com/api/oauth.v2.access
The expiration of the refresh token depends on the OAuth provider. You must re-authenticate and publish the connection before the token expires.
Note: The refresh token doesn't apply to agents and agent groups.
Client ID
Required. Specify the identifier value from the OAuth provider.
Client Secret
Required. Enter the client secret to connect to the OAuth provider.
Scope
Required. Specify the scope. The scope in OAuth authentication limits an application's access to a user's account. You can select multiple scopes for a single client. To enter multiple scopes, separate each value with a space.
Session Duration
Optional. Enter the number of minutes to wait before refreshing the session. This is used if you cannot obtain the token expiration from the OAuth provider. Default is 60 minutes.
Other Parameters
Optional. Enter parameters to customize the authorization request, separated with semicolons. You can provide extra information or specify requirements of the OAuth provider.
Authorization Status
Optional. Indicates the current status, the name of the user who authorized, and the last time when the authorization was completed.

For more information about OAuth 2.0, refer to the OAuth documentation.
Note: In the OAuth provider, set the redirect URL to the host of the Application Integration POD in which you create a connection. The redirect URL must contain the /oauthcallback string. For example:
https://<Informatica Cloud Application Integration
URL>/oauthcallback
