Setting up an Entry to a Public DNS Service

If you want to configure access to OAuth 2.0 web services through a public DNS service, you must set up an entry with a service. Instructions vary depending on the service. The following are instructions for setting up an entry to some common DNS services.

ClosedAmazon DNS
  1. Log into the AWS Console and go to Route 53.
  2. If you do not already have a domain:
    1. Register a new top level domain (for example, fme-oauth-redirect.com).
    2. This will create a new Hosted Zone once the registration is confirmed.
  3. If you already have a hosted zone with a domain name, the existing hosted zone can be used.
  4. Go to the Hosted Zone of your domain name.
  5. Create a CNAME record for the internal FME Server with the fully-qualified hostname for the private FME Server installation (for example, myfmeserver.mydomain.internal).

Example of a new CNAME record configuration:

  • Name: myfmeserver.fme-oauth-redirect.com
  • Type: CNAME - canonical name
  • Alias: No
  • TTL (seconds): 300
  • Value: myfmeserver.mydomain.internal
  • Routing policy: Simple
  • Redirect URI: https://myfmeserver.fme-oauth-redirect.com/fmeoauth
ClosedDynu Systems (free)
  1. Note the hostname of your private FME Server.
  2. Create an account at: https://www.dynu.com/en-US/.
  3. Select DDNS Services > Add.
    1. Enter the host (Arbitrary—for example, fme-oauth-redirect).
    2. Choose any free top level domain (for example, dynu.com) or your own domain name.
  4. Click DNS Records.
    1. Enter a Node Name (arbitrary, but we suggest using the hostname of the private install. For example, myfmeserver).
    2. Enter the fully-qualified hostname for the private FME Server installation (for example, myfmeserver.mydomain.internal).

For example, this redirect URI is produced:

https://myfmeserver.fme-oauth-redirect.dynu.com/fmeoauth

ClosedNIP.IO (free/easy)

NIP.IO (http://nip.io/) allows you to provide a public host that redirects to an IP address.

You only need to know the IP address of your FME Server installation.

For example, this redirect URI is produced:

https://10.1.103.72.nip.io/fmeoauth
