How to Secure Injector Service with Oauth2

Primary authentication mechanism in the cloud is OAuth2 using IDCS authenticator. RIB uses IDCS OAuth2 for authentication of ReST calls both inbound and outbound (publisher/injector restful services). Hence Injector service exposed by external service should be secured with OAuth2. This chapters covers the key points that should be taken into consideration while protecting the resources exposed by external application.

Prerequisites
