Create a OAuth2 application on the connected platform.- Choose Auth > OAuth2 application - Make a new app - Enable it, fill in the name of the main platform (description) and enter the full url of the main platform (https://www.main-platform.com) - Click on Make app and then open it again by clicking on it to copy the App ID and Secrete for the next step.
2. Create a OAuth2 consumer token on the main platform.- Choose Auth > OAuth2 Consumer secrete - Register a new platform - Fill in the name of the connected platform (the description can be the same as above, this will show on the button on all account-pages). - Enter the domain (www.connected-platform.com) - Enter App ID and Secrete from Step 1. - Choose to allow user to authenticate (log in) and/or import content.
