Introduction to UPS OAuth 2.0
UPS™ has changed its authorization process that provides Descartes ShipRush with access to the UPS APIs. Their process now uses OAuth (Open Authorization) 2.0, allowing Descartes ShipRush to connect to UPS™ without sharing credentials. The Descartes ShipRush application has been modified to accommodate the UPS OAuth 2.0 authorization process.
Tip: See UPS OAuth FAQs for the deadline to migrate to OAuth 2.0, resolving migration issues, and other important information.
