3.3. Using OAuth Authentication

OAuth is enabled by default in Satellite 6.2. The configuration settings are stored in the /etc/foreman/settings.yaml configuration file and can be viewed in the web UI by going to Administer Settings Auth. The OAuth consumer key is the token to be used by all OAuth clients. Certain values in the web UI cannot be changed. These values can only be changed by running the satellite-installer script again with the new options. Note that any manual changes to the file will be lost when upgrading. Enter the following command to see all the OAuth related installer options:

If you want all API requests made using OAuth to be authorized as the built-in anonymous API administrator account, then keep OAuth map users set to false in the /etc/foreman/settings.yaml file. If you want to specify the user under which the request is made, change this configuration option to true. This allows clients to send a FOREMAN-USER header with the login of an existing Foreman user.
