Step 1: Create an Adobe OAuth App

1

Go to the Adobe Developer Console

Navigate to developer.adobe.com/console and click Create new project.
2

Add an API to the project

Open the project and click Add API. Choose the Adobe API the integration needs (e.g., Creative Cloud, Document Cloud).
3

Select OAuth Web App credentials

Choose OAuth User Authentication and select Web App as the platform. Web App requires the secret to live on a backend server.
4

Configure redirect URIs

Enter:
  • Default Redirect URI: the Alter callback URL from the Developer Portal
  • Redirect URI pattern: a regex that matches the default redirect URI (Adobe requires both)
5

Get your credentials

Open the OAuth Web App credential and copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
Adobe IMS requires openid and/or AdobeID as foundational identity scopes. The offline_access scope alone is not sufficient — it must be combined with openid or AdobeID to receive refresh tokens.
Never share your Client Secret publicly. Store it securely and only enter it in the Alter Vault Developer Portal.

Step 2: Add to Alter Vault

1

Open the Developer Portal

Go to portal.alterauth.com and navigate to your app.
2

Add Adobe provider

Go to OAuth Providers > Add Provider > Adobe.
3

Enter credentials

  • Client ID: Paste your Adobe Client ID
  • Client Secret: Paste your Adobe Client Secret
4

Select scopes

Choose the scopes your app needs.
5

Save

Click Save. The provider is now active.

Notes

  • Adobe IMS requires openid and/or AdobeID as foundational identity scopes; offline_access alone is insufficient.
  • You may need to create an Adobe developer account first if you don’t have one.
