Authentication and Authorization

FBGBU APIs use OAuth2 authentication framework. API users must send a request to the OpenID Provider (OP). The OP authenticates the account and responds with an ID token and a refresh token. The client can then send a request with the ID token to the API endpoints.

Successful OAuth transactions require the Oracle OpenID Provider to issue an id_token for use in authenticating an API call. An id_token represents an authorization issued to the client application containing credentials used to access protected OAuth resources.
