Dear PureCloud Developers
I was wondering if I could ask for your help with a short explanation of the OAuth credentials for a custom webservice.
Are we required to develop middleware for Authentication please?
I read through the following article a few times, and wasn't sure if we could input clientId, clientSecret and loginUrl as Field Names for use within PureCloud and then have PureCloud handle the authentication? https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/how-to-use-user-defined-oauth-credential-type-web-services-data- actions-integration/
Any assistance or further explanation will be very greatly appreciated.

Our goal was not to require any middleware for OAuth like flows. The expectation is that you will create a credential with values set for clientId, clientSecret and loginUrl (or whatever values you need) and then modify the custom authentication action that will be created for you.
When you run a custom action for that integration it will have the values that were returned to your auth action when it authenticates. You would commonly use one or more of those values in your authentication header.
