Does the "Developer Bootstrap" page work in IBM Connections 5?

Question

Even for gadgets which work nicely elsewhere in IBM Connections, I'm getting the following error in my browser console:

 OAuth error: {"text":"","rc":403,"oauthError":"get_oauth2_accessor_problem","oauthErrorText":"","oauthErrorTrace":"\n","oauthErrorUri":"","oauthErrorExplanation":"An error occured. Ask your administrator to create an OAuth2.0 Client binding for this gadget and service.","errors":["403 Error"]}

I've followed the PDF guide Developing OpenSocial gadgets for IBM Connections 4.0. Also, is this guide still valid for IC5?

Answer 1

Yes, the Bootstrap page still works in IBM Connections 5.0 Be sure to edit your opensocial-config.xml (both in the deployment manager and appserver profiles)

Change any false attribute to

<developer allowIntranetProxyAccess="true" allowSSOFeature="true" enabled="true">
<developer-hosts-whitelist allServers="true">

Save the file

Restart the WidgetContainer App

It should all work then.

If you run into other issues, please add comments.
