- Click on 'Allow' button on the Hootsuite consent screen.
- Upon clicking the 'Allow' button on the consent screen, the user would be redirected to the default callback URL - https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback. It is advisable to get the correct redirect URL configured i.e. <AEM_AUTHOR_HOST>/bin/services/authorize. However, in case the default callback url is configured, user/admin is advised to modify and hit the call back url in the browser from https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback?code=&scope=offline&state= to <AEM_AUTHOR_HOST>/bin/services/authorize?code=&scope=offline&state=. Please ensure that query parameters in the URL are not changed. If the user/admin sees a white screen, it implies that connection has been established successfully. Please report any exceptions or errors, if encountered, on this screen.
- Finally, Save and close the configuration.
