Things to check:
- You have a valid developer account on http://www.alfresco.com/develop
- You have retrieved both the key and the secret from your developer account
- In your developer account, in the application settings for your app, you have set the callback to match the callback URL in your app exactly
- When you hit your app and Alfresco asks you to authenticate you are using your Alfresco in the cloud credentials which are different than your Alfresco developer account credentials

Hey thanks jeff,I did a quick check and now authentication is being done.But a new problem has arrived.What should be my callback url.My whole scenario is that I have to connect my Drupal website with alfresco cloud. I have placed the above files in drupal root folder and using CMIS module have set url to https://api.alfresco.com/cmis/versions/1.0/atom.Throwing error .Have tested connection with alfresco test site using url http://cmis.alfresco.com/service/cmis and it is working fine

The callback URL is up to you. It's the URL that Alfresco should use to pass you the authorization code. You'll take that authorization code and exchange it for an access token. This is part of the OAuth2 "dance". See http://www.slideshare.net/jpotts/intro-to-the-alfresco-public-api for a high-level discussion of the Public API. You might also look at https://github.com/AlfrescoLabs/public-api-examples.
