Using TBA for RESTlet Authentication (OAuth)

If appropriate, you can use the Token-Based Authentication feature to authenticate when calling RESTlets. With this approach, you use the OAuth 1.0 specification to construct an authorization header. For details, see the following topics:

• TBA Setup Requirements

• The Three-Step TBA Authorization Flow

• Example OAuth Header

• Tracking RESTlet Calls Made with TBA and OAuth 2.0

Note:

If you are calling a RESTlet from an external source, you must authenticate by using TBA, OAuth 2.0 or user credentials. For details on user credentials, see Using User Credentials for RESTlet Authentication. For details on OAuth 2.0, see Setting up OAuth 2.0 for a RESTlet Integration.
