Scheduled Jobs and Login using OAuth2

I am running background jobs using  c#/Hangfire on a networked server connecting to myob

 

This runs a series of jobs on the hour and overnight. 

 

Problem is now that we are going online to connect to MYOB there will need to be a login before the job starts and can connect to MYOB. I have built the oauth connection for gettign the token using our inhouse app and that is fine but that has a user interaction to it..these background jobs do not as it is a machineto machine credential flow.

 

My understanding is that MYOB has not implemented this spec defined here RFC 6749: The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (rfc-editor.org)

Client Credentials Flow (auth0.com)

 

How are others getting around this?

    Hi - just came across your posts re MYOB Online for STP 2 and using APIs.

     

    I'm in the same boat.

     

    We have a suite of inhouse built PHP apps on our local server which use MYOB API. Been solid for many years but now have to go online - such a pain.

     

    How has testing gone for you with API connecting to your company file online instead of local network?

     

    I'm going to start testing ASAP. My personal email is khatib.michael@gmail.com if you'd like to connect and share ideas.
