General Assistance (Junior Developer)

[jamesmoswald]

Hi, i am building an API layer for a c# SaaS platform which connects to a 3rd party DMS

I need to create a callback URL in order to grant an Authorization token to the user (without their direct login)

I have seen that i am able to achieve this with FusionAuth however im wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, or if there are some instructions on how to achieve this?

I apologise if my request is rather vague, i am a self taught junior dev so would really appreciate some help in alleviating the confusion i have with the above as i dont need to use FusionAuth to its fullest capabilities.

Thankyou very much!

I should note, i have been looking into the documentation provided, to narrow down what exactly i need to take on, but if anyone can advise (in their opinion) what i may need, that would be brilliant.

Hi @jamesmoswald ,

It sounds like you want to grant a token without the user logging in. Is that correct?

I'm not sure I quite understand, though. How would you know which user to grant a token for?

@dan Hi Dan, thankyou for your reply!

Yes thats correct, and i would need to check credentials from their http request, against a sql database

I really appreciate you assisting me !

@jamesmoswald I'm not sure I can provide the level of assistance you need. I'd suggest working through this guide to OAuth: https://fusionauth.io/learn/expert-advice/oauth/modern-guide-to-oauth

There's also an accompanying github repository you can pull down and play around with. https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-example-modern-guide-to-oauth/

Hope that helps.
