How to authenticate a Oauth2.0 resource in Retool mobile?

[Haider_Ali]

There's no "auth" login button to do this, like there is in Retool web.

What am i missing here?

Hi @Haider_Ali,

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, the auth login component for mobile is a feature request in our backlog. If it gets shipped, I'll reach out here.

In the meantime, for OAuth 2 resources, can you Enable an auth verification endpoint on the resource, so that it prompts user to log in

Hi @Tess

can you Enable an auth verification endpoint on the resource, so that it prompts user to log in

will this affect Retool mobile only? or will it affect web users too? if so, what behavior will web users see?

thanks!

There will be a popup to log in on the web version and Retool Mobile.

Here's an example on web:

@Tess
I’ve enabled the authentication verification endpoint for my resource as suggested. While the authentication completes successfully, the issue is that the "Authenticate" prompt reappears every time I reopen the app, even after I’ve authenticated once.

Is this a bug?

Hi @engineering-tajir,

Is the auth verification endpoint returning a 4XX status code? Would you be able to make the same request as the Auth verification endpoint in a query in-app to see what the response is?

The endpoint will trigger the auth modal if it doesn't return a 200.
