See Authentication#OAuthv1.0VersionAAuthentication.  Enter the OAuth credentials in the Abiquo properties file. See Abiquo Configuration Properties#m

Manage two-factor authentication in the Abiquo UI

The Cloud Administrator can enable two-factor authentication in the Configuration view or using the API.

When an administrator creates or edits an enterprise, they can mark a checkbox to require two-factor authentication of all users in the enterprise.

In the API, this is done by setting the enterprise attribute of twoFactorAuthenticationMandatory to true.

If two-factor authentication is not required, the user can still enable it from the username menu by clicking on the icon or username in the top right-hand corner of the screen and selecting two-factor authentication. Note that you can enable or disable 2fa for your own user only.

Using the API, you enable or disable 2fa by posting the authentication method to the action link of the user.
