Log in to your account in magnews and go to the section:

Management > System > Digital Certificates

Note the information related to the Redirect URI to configure.
The value indicated in this field represents the address of the page that will use the OAuth 2 authentication as the platform's redirect URI.

The next step is the creation of a Connected App in Salesforce.
Using Salesforce in Classic or Lightning mode (default for new accounts), the steps to create it are slightly different.

The described steps may vary in the future if the Salesforce interface is updated.

Creation of Connected App in Classic mode

Log in to Salesforce then click on Setup at the top right of the page.
