VirtualUI.AuthenticateOAuth Method
Description
Registers an OAuth 2.0 authentication method against an external identity provider — such as Google or Microsoft — and returns the URL of the provider’s login page.
Open the returned URL in the end user’s browser — for example, with the OpenLinkDlg method — to start the flow. When the user completes the login, VirtualUI exchanges the authorization code for an access token, retrieves the user’s profile, and fires the OnAuthentication event with the result.
Info
Available since Thinfinity VirtualUI 3.6.2.
