Authenticating Web Sevices

In environments that are enabled for single sign-on, the Oracle Analytics Publisher web services use OAuth authentication.

OAuth Authentication

OAuth authentication enables a client application to receive an access token from Oracle Identity Cloud Service, Identity Provider and Authorization server to access secured resources without using username and password credentials. See Authenticate in Oracle Analytics Cloud.

After you get the bearer token, send the token in the header of the web service as follows:

  • Header key - Authorization.
  • Header value - Bearer <token>. For example, Bearer eibcccundbccikehkenekhnbhihdctbfnhjinbubgkti.
