Boost Mailing List

Access to the mailing list is granted to Boost users via OAuth using django-oauth-toolkit.

Setting Up Boost as an OAuth identity provider

1. In the admin /admin/, create a new Application under the Django OAuth Toolkit heading.

2. Fill in the form:

• The client_id and client_secret will fill in automatically. Make sure to copy and paste them somewhere before you save.
• Add the redirect_uri (this URL will be from the project that hosts the mailing list, and is not in this project. A sample URL for testing is https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback.)
• Whatever is in the name field will be what the user sees on the authorization screen.
• Select confidential as the client type, and Authorization code as the grant type.
• Save the record.
