### Configure Aras

Violet connects to Aras using an OAuth 2.0 flow, which requires that you add redirect URLs to your Aras configuration in order to allow access. Instructions are below:

1. Follow the instructions [here](https://aras.com/en/blog/oauth-server-authentication-with-remote-virtual-machines-1584018855) to locate your Aras OAuth.config file. Open the file in your text editor or IDE of choice.
2. Scroll down until you find the section for `<redirecturis>`. Add a new line and paste the redirect URL below:
   1. If you are using **Violet**:\
      `<redirectUri value='https://app.violetlabs.com/oauth/redirect/' />`\
      \
      OR<br>
   2. If you are using **VioletGov**:\
      `<redirectUri value='https://app.violetgov.com/oauth/redirect/' />`
3. Open up IIS and click **Reset.**\
