In working through an answer to this question, I found that I can set the oauthToken value on a NamedCredential using an Apex wrapper for the Metadata API. However, as far as I am aware, that still involves installing a specific managed package, unless you want to roll your own wrapper.

Is there any other way to update the oauthToken?

Apex Metadata API Wrapper

No problem setting this field via Apex:

MetadataService.NamedCredential credential = new MetadataService.NamedCredential();
credential.fullName = 'Demo_Credential';
credential.label = 'Demo Credential';
credential.endpoint = 'https://www.demo.com';
credential.principalType = 'Anonymous';
credential.protocol = 'NoAuthentication';
credential.oauthToken = '<newTokenValue>';

MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();
service.updateMetadata(
    new List<MetadataService.Metadata> { credential }
);

UI

While I was able to update it via Apex, this field is not available to read or edit in the UI.

Named Credential Edit: Demo Credential

IDE

While I was able to add NamedCredential to my package.xml file, I was not able to push it back to the server using MavensMate (Mac).

Demo_Credential Metadata

Workbench

I played around with the Deploy action but was not able to get anything working there either. I'm not super familiar with how that interface is supposed to work.

  • seems like by design named credentials is supposed to mask from the admin/developer the acquisition/lifecycle of the oauth token, I am not surprised.

  • But it's nigh impossible to set for the average admin. :( And it's actually pretty easy to view the token value anyway for anyone who has an IDE.

    I'm not sure what "long term" means on the roadmap, potentially Winter '18, but a REST API for Metadata Deploy and Retrieve operations is coming to an org near you some time soon.

    @AdrianLarson - How are you viewing the token. I tried in 3 different IDE's and it is not returning it. Must be setting it wrong or something. I would like to verify that the JS does indeed update it

Not sure if it actually puts a new oAuth token as I cannot query it via dev console but it does successfully update from VF:

May not be what you wanted, not sure, but maybe it will help

Usage is identical to the Metadata Service wrapper (as they are both generated from the WSDL) but is solely focused on updating NamedCredential records.

MetadataService.NamedCredential credential = new MetadataService.NamedCredential();
credential.fullName = 'Demo_Credential';
credential.label = 'Demo Credential';
credential.endpoint = 'https://www.demo.com';
credential.principalType = 'Anonymous';
credential.protocol = 'NoAuthentication';
credential.oauthToken = '<newTokenValue>';

MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();
service.endpoint_x = URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/services/Soap/m/39.0';
service.updateMetadata(
    new List<MetadataService.Metadata> { credential }
);
System.assertEquals(1, results.size());
MetadataService.SaveResult sr = results[0];
System.debug(sr);
System.assert(sr.success);

I also deployed the following package, which didn't report any errors and was confirmed to update the NamedCredential.MasterLabel
