Yahoo! deprecated

Preparation

Creating the Yahoo! application

The application keys for Yahoo! need to be replaced by the ones retrieved from an application managed at Yahoo!.

  • Go here and sign into Yahoo!. It is recommended to use a company account for this where the credentials are known to more than one person.
  • You will see a list of all Yahoo! applications associated with the current account. Click "Create an App" on the left.

  • Enter a name and description for the Yahoo! application in fields "Application Name" and "Description" respectively. Both will be shown to your users when allowing access the application later.
  • Select Web Application for Application Type.
  • Enter the domain of your company's website in field "Home Page URL"
  • Enter in the Callback Domain field the domain where your Open-Xchange server will run. This is important as the API key and API secret that will be generated later for your application will only work for this domain.
  • Under API Permissions check the "Contacts" options and select the "Read" option.
  • Then click "Create App"

  • Once the application is created, Yahoo! will generate a Cliend ID (the consumer key or API key) and a Client Secret (the consumer secret or API secret). These values need to be added to the /opt/openexchange/etc/groupware/yahoooauth.properties file under com.openexchange.oauth.yahoo.apiKey and com.openexchange.oauth.yahoo.apiSecret respectively.
