BambooHR authentication

Hey, trying to connect to my BambooHR instance for multiple flows. The tool tells me that api keys have been deprecated. When I try to authenticate using OpenID, the web script that pops up to show the connection tells me that OpenID has been deprecated and we should use OAuth.

I’m sure I’m not the only one dealing with this?

Thanks!

Hi! Welcome to the Community!

Could you provide screenshots showing each step?

Create the new connection:

Authenticate the new connection and get a popup that shows this:

According to Chat:

Went to the BambooHR article to confirm:

We may be able to strong arm this into working with some extra work, or do we just move to the newer OAuth connection which requires me to be setup as a developer on Bamboo’s end to be able to make the connection work.

Open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Thanks for the details. I’ve verified the same at my end.

It seems BambooHR didn’t communicate this change to us.

There may be a quick-fix we can apply to continue to allow using OIDC login. Our team is looking at that as we speak.

I hope to have news on that today.

The alternative is to register as a developer with BambooHR (as you said) and then use the HTTP app’s Make an OAuth 2.0 request module.

I’ve been able to connect to the api using a http call, but the mapping has been brutal to be honest. Would love to hear this gets updated, but then, that may not solve the mapping of data being a bear.

Thanks!

I’m having the same problem. Watching this thread

Our team pushed a quick fix live just now.

You should find that OpenID Connect authentication now works again.

BHR are making OAuth 2.0 mandatory next year, and we’ll be implementing that soon.
