Before you start

Already added credentials to the Oomnitza vault for ManageEngine? Skip this section and the Add credentials to the vault in Oomnitza section, and go to  Integrate ManageEngine with Oomnitza.

To stream ManageEngine data into Oomnitza, you must add 0Auth 2.0 credentials to the credentials vault in Oomnitza. To do this, you create 0Auth 2.0 credentials. Then, you use the 0Auth 2.0 credentials when you add credentials to the Oomnitza vault.

Useful links

For information about 0Auth 2.0 and Zoho, go here: ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager.

For more information about ManageEngine APIs, go here: ManageEngine Desktop Central.  

Important

In the Zoho API console where you create your 0Auth 2.0 authorization credentials, you will be asked to provide the following information:

Home page URL

The URL of your Oomnitza account. For example, https://<my-account_name>.oomnitza.com.

Authorized redirect URL

The URL that you use is: 

https://generic-oauth2-proxy.oomnitza.com/oauth2/redirect_url

Remember

When you add the 0Auth 2.0 credentials to the vault in Oomnitza, you must have the following information:

• Your client ID
• Your client secret

Add credentials to the vault in Oomnitza

To authorize connections between Oomnitza and ManageEngine, you must add 0Auth 2.0 credentials to the credentials vault in Oomnitza. For more information, see Oomnitza vault.
