35.1 Set-up OAuth Services

You are an administrator and are responsible for setting up OAuth. You want to configure OAuth to secure access to services. During set up, you need to configure OAuth clients and resources in Oracle Access Manager. This section describes how to enable and manage OAuth Services using APIs.

You have the following responsibilities as an administrator.

• Configure and manage OAuth Identity Domain

• Configure and manage OAuth Resources

• Configure and manage OAuth Clients

• Ensure that the communication between different services is secure

• Access protected services through REST API calls

Pre-requisite for OAuth configuration

• Ensure you have the required OAuth Administrator permissions

• Ensure the 12c environment is installed. See Installing the Oracle Identity and Access Management Software in Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management

• Ensure OAuth and OpenIDConnect Service is enabled in Available Services of the Configuration Section. See Available Services of the Common Configuration Section

• Configure OAuth Resources and Clients

• Obtain a Client Access Token

Setting Up OAuth: Task Flow

This section describes the high-level tasks in setting up OAuth in OAM. You start setting up OAuth by creating an identity domain and registering a resource. An OAuth Resource needs to be registered before registering an OAuth Client, as the resource information, specifically the API details, are required while registering a client.

1. To create an identity domain using REST API calls, refer to Creating an Identity Domain

2. To register a new resource using REST API calls, refer to Creating a Resource

3. After a resource is registered, you can configure and register an OAuth Client. To register a trusted client using REST API calls, refer to Creating a Client
