Note: These examples only show JSON responses.
Incorrect client credentials
If the client_id and or client_secret you pass are incorrect you will receive this error response.
{
"error": "incorrect_client_credentials",
"error_description": "The client_id and/or client_secret passed are incorrect.",
"error_uri": "/apps/managing-oauth-apps/troubleshooting-oauth-app-access-token-request-errors/#incorrect-client-credentials"
}
To solve this error, make sure you have the correct credentials for your OAuth app. Double check the client_id
and client_secret
to make sure they are correct and being passed correctly
to GitHub Enterprise Server.
Redirect URI mismatch
If you provide a redirect_uri
that doesn't match what you've registered with your OAuth app, you'll receive this error message:
{
"error": "redirect_uri_mismatch",
"error_description": "The redirect_uri MUST match the registered callback URL for this application.",
"error_uri": "/apps/managing-oauth-apps/troubleshooting-authorization-request-errors/#redirect-uri-mismatch2"
}
To correct this error, either provide a redirect_uri
that matches what
you registered or leave out this parameter to use the default one
registered with your application.
Bad verification code
{
"add_scopes": [
"repo"
],
"note": "admin script"
}
If the verification code you pass is incorrect, expired, or doesn't match what you received in the first request for authorization you will receive this error.
{
"error": "bad_verification_code",
"error_description": "The code passed is incorrect or expired.",
"error_uri": "/apps/managing-oauth-apps/troubleshooting-oauth-app-access-token-request-errors/#bad-verification-code"
}
To solve this error, start the OAuth authorization process again and get a new code.
