AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

SarahLinden — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:17:00 GMT

This is my first time using web app builder. I got to the point where I registered my apps URL properly, but must have used the wrong App ID....... I can't seem to get back to where I re-enter the appropriate app ID and am instead taken to a page that is blank and just says invalid redirect_uri

Anyone experience the same issue? Help! What should I do???

This happened to me. I "solved" it by unpacking the zip somewhere else and started the program from the new location. This might not be the best way, but I thought it might help.

Also, make sure that the "Current Redirect URIs" are appropriate in the application in your ArcGIS for Developers account. This should be the name of your machine on your network.

During Web AppBuilder registration, you may inputhttp://[yourmachinename]:3344/webappbuilder as URL of the app item,http://[yourmachinename]and https://[yourmachinename] as Redirect URIs.

so even after I have registered the app, and acquired the ID through ArcGIS Online - I still get the error, it says error 400..... any thoughts?

What did you put as the redirect URI in the application in your ArcGIS for Developers account?

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

So, I didn't enter anything into the redirect URI in ArcGIS Online for the application........ that is where I'm not clear as to what I should be entering - sorry this is my first time using Web App Builder. Prior to this, I was strictly using templates provided through ArcGIS Online - it's not clear to me what I should put for the redirect URI

That's ok, this is a good time to learn.

Log into ArcGIS for Developers, go to applications, then click on the Authentication tab, and enter the URL to your machine name on your server and click the add button.

The URL to your machine name on your server is something like this:

http://my.server.com

If you don't know your machine name on your server, do you have someone you can ask?

okay, this might be a dumb question but if I am solely relying on use of ArcGIS online - how do I find the server name?

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

SarahLinden — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 01:05:38 GMT

here is where my organizational stuff is hosted on arcgis online: http://seed-co.maps.arcgis.com/

but I am assuming that is not correct, because when I use that as the redirect URI, I continue to get the error

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

Noah-Sager — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 01:15:55 GMT

Right.

Are you working with the Developer Edition? I assumed so from the start, but perhaps not. If you are, then that means that you will be locally hosting the WAB application. The server that you will be hosting it on will be the redirect uri. This maps to the same thing as "localhost", if that make sense.

I see, so I am understanding more now. Okay, here is the question - What if I am hosting or want to host through my amazon web console? Right now, I just downloaded the web app builder (developer edition) to my local computer hard drive - can it not operate this way? (at least temporarily as I get a feel for what I am doing?)

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

SarahLinden — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 01:23:32 GMT

and then migrate it onto AWS

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

Noah-Sager — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:46:58 GMT

That should be fine, but I would recommend hosting the application on a web server, either your local server or amazon. A server connection of some sort will be required. The redirect_uri is a required field, and must point back to the server that the web appBuilder is hosted on.

If you just want to get a feel for what you are doing, why not just use the AGOL version until you are ready to deploy the developer edition on a web server?

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

SarahLinden — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:09:59 GMT

okay sure, I can do that. Actually, I'm happy to do that. I didn't realize that the capabilities were the same - I thought the AGOL version had limited capabilities, but if not - hey I'll try it and go from there.

Thanks for your responses Noah Sager, you have been most helpful.

Has anybody had luck with this issue? I've tried quite a few of the above suggestions and no luck.

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

RebeccaStrauch__GISP — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 01:51:23 GMT

have you tried manually registering your machine on AGOL before firing it up. This worked for me, and several others. May not be the same, but all worth a try...and I haven't had that problem since (and I've registered additional development machines.

Tips and Observations for getting Web AppBuilder - Developer Edition Installed‌

this assumes using the latest WAB dev edition (v1.0) and AGOL for Oganization account to register.

DanSpinosa — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 02:23:01 GMT

Thanks for your quick response. Steps 3h and 3i worked for me. I needed

to use my computer name rather than localhost in the URI redirect.

That seems to be the consensus. Glad it worked for you.

hi noah, what if the machine resides behind a corporate firewall? is the only way to do this is to use a machine that is exposed on the internet?

Re: AppBuilder Invalid redirect_uri

Noah-Sager — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 19:50:25 GMT

Hi Albert. As far as I know, you will need to either allow access through the firewall, or indeed use a machine that is accessible to the outside internet. Hope this helps!
