Overview

To authenticate with Glean (OAuth), you need to select which Server URL to connect to. Nango exchanges the authorization through Glean’s own OAuth Authorization Server — users are directed through their organization’s existing SSO login automatically, with no separate identity provider setup required.

Prerequisites

Instructions

​
Step 1: Finding your server URL

  1. In the Glean admin console, go to About Glean.
  2. Find the Server instance (QE) field — this is your server URL.
For example, if the field shows https://acme-prod-be.glean.com/, your server URL is acme-prod-be.glean.com.
This is the same regardless of whether Glean runs in Glean’s cloud or in your own cloud (cloud-prem) — only the underlying infrastructure location differs, not how you find or use the server URL.
When someone logs in to Glean directly, the app resolves the correct server automatically from their email domain, so end users never see this URL. Nango isn’t logging in through that flow, so you (an admin) still need to look it up manually once and enter it here.

​
Step 2: Authorize Glean

  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Glean.
  2. Enter your Server URL.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to Glean (OAuth).
