Redirect URI	Shown in Developer Portal

Step 1: Create an Adobe OAuth App

Go to the Adobe Developer Console

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

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).

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.

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)

Get credentials

Open the OAuth Web App credential and copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

Note

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.

Warning

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

Open the Developer Portal

Go to portal.alterauth.com and navigate to the application.

Add Adobe provider

Go to OAuth Providers > Add Provider > Adobe.

Enter credentials

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

Select scopes

Choose the scopes the application needs.

Save

Click Save. The provider is now active.

Available Scopes

Scope	Description
openid	OpenID Connect identity scope (required for authorization)
AdobeID	Adobe identity scope (required for issuing identity tokens)
offline_access	Enable refresh tokens (requires openid or AdobeID as a base scope)
creative_cloud	Access Creative Cloud assets and services
read_organizations	Read organization information

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.
• See the Adobe OAuth documentation for more details.
