Authentication on virtual machine

[laresbernardo]

Hi @cawthm!
Add http://localhost:1410/ into your OAuth 2's Redirect URIs in Dropbox. Worked for me! It's still interactive (not programmatic 100%) but works.

@mkirzon I mean you will still be redirected and will have to click/accept/interact with the UI manually. Don’t see how to run a script that authenticates and runs a task without having to save the token into an RDS file before to use it or manually interacting with the redirected site.

I'm curiuos to read the blog post but I think you linked the wrong thing :)

@laresbernardo thank you for that! That's exactly where I was stuck. What do you mean though that it's not programmatic?

It took me some time to find out what should I do in this situation. I've tried to add http://localhost:1410 to Redirect URIs but that did not work.

This link of a RStudio blog post shows the true (and sad) answer: just authenticate locally and then copy that damn token to your remote machine.
