Using OAuth2 in Cloud EPM Applications

Application connections and global connections to Cloud EPM applications support using Open Authorization (OAuth) 2 for authentication.

Perform the following steps to set up OAuth2 authentication. See Authentication with OAuth 2 in REST APIs for details.

1. Register the OAuth2 client.

   Note:

   For Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management, you must register separate OAuth2 clients (each with a client ID, access, and refresh tokens) for each application or global connection. For example, if you have two application connections and two global connections that you want to use OAuth2 authentication for, you must register four OAuth2 clients.
2. Obtain and securely store the first refresh token.

   Tip:

   Set the refresh token expiry longer than the frequency of running your imports and exports in order to keep the tokens valid.
3. Obtain an access token from the refresh token.
