Add a Confidential Application

You can use the Oracle Identity Cloud Service to add a confidential application. A confidential application runs on a protected server, and you can use it to generate tokens to call the API. Here is how you can add a confidential application:

1. Sign in to Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
2. In the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console, expand the Navigation Drawer and click Applications.
3. On the Applications page, click Add.
4. In the Add Application dialog box, select Confidential Application.
5. In the Add Confidential Application page, Details stop, App Details section, enter a name for your new confidential application and click Next.

   A confirmation message appears indicating that the application is added in a deactivated state.

6. In the Client stop, do the following:
   • Select Configure this application as a client now.
   • In the Authorization section, Allowed Grant Types field, select the following grants that your application will use when requesting validation of an access token:
     • Resource Owner
     • Client Credentials
     • Refresh Token
7. Click Next.
8. In the Resources stop, make sure that the Skip for Later option is selected, and click Next.
9. In the Web Tier Policy stop, make sure that the Skip for Later option is selected, and click Next.
10. In the Authorization stop, make sure that the Enforce Grants as Authorization check box is unselected, and click Finish.

    The Application Added dialog box appears indicating that the confidential application is added in a deactivated state.

11. In the Application Added dialog box, note down the Client ID and Client Secret, and then click Close.
12. On the Confidential Application page, click Activate.
13. In the Confirmation dialog box, click OK to activate your confidential application.

    You can see a confirmation message indicating that the confidential application is activated.
