Using JSON Web Token (JWT) Grant Type
You can generate an OAuth token using JSON Web Token (JWT) for example, if you want to generate a token for a user maintained by your own SAML Identity Provider.
These instructions summarize the process.
More detailed instructions for generating the OAuth token using JWT are available in the Oracle Cloud Platform REST Adapter documentation, at 2 REST Adapter Concepts, Authentication Support, in the Use OAuth 2.0 Grants in Identity Domain Environments. You can then shortcut to the correct section by clicking the Prerequisites for JWT User Assertion link.
