Configure OAuth 2.0 for Installed Applications

Use this procedure to configure a secure connection between integrated applications such as MiCollab Client and Google Apps such as Google Contacts or Google Calendar using the OAuth 2.0 protocol.

If OAuth 2.0 authorization is successful, then Google will grant an access token to the application on the Mitel Standard Linux server. These tokens can be re-issued when they expire or if the project is changed in any way.
