authenticateWithTransmart: Authenticate the R client to gain access to tranSMART...
In thehyve/heim-RInterface: R Client for accessing the tranSMART RESTful API

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also Examples

Function that will redirect the user to an OAuth authentication server to acquire a token that grants the client (semi-)permanent access to tranSMART.

1	authenticateWithTransmart(oauthDomain, prefetched.request.token = NULL)

`oauthDomain`	a character string naming the domain of the OAuth server
`prefetched.request.token`	a character string containing a prefetched token. If a request token has already been obtained, it can be entered here

If authentication was succesful, a security token is added to the transmartClientEnv environment (if this environment does not exist, it will be created), which will authorize this R client to access the tranSMART database through the available get methods (eg. getStudies).

This function is automatically invoked when using connectToTransmart, and then only when the current authentication is non-existent or no longer accepted. Using this function directly will always overwrite your current authentication without asking.
