Layer7 API Management

Hi,

Have been trying to use the login api, specifically the OTK token endpoint.

I'm able to use the grant_type = client_credentials, however, when trying to use password grant type. I'm having trouble getting a token.

I've tried the credentials of various (admin, developer) but to no avail.

Anyone able to use the login API OTK token endpoint with password grant type?

Dear sharkkae ,

What's the error you got?

The OTK authenticate against gateway Internal Identity Provider, ensure you have correct credential.

How do you build the post request for token endpoint?

the content-type should be: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

the body should have following parameters:

grant_type=password&username=${login}&scope=${scope}&password=${password}

The parameter values should be url encoded.

If you installed the oauth test clients, you can test the password grant-type on https://<your gateway>:8443/oauth/v2/client/ropc 

You may refer to the product document for more details of the paramters,

Hi Mark,

I'm referring to this Login API

Login API - CA API Developer Portal - 4.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

Specifically referring to the auth/oauth/v2.token endpoint, which the default is using grant_type = password.

I'm not able to log into the portal via the Login API. I believe that behind the portal is a gateway, however I'm not able to log into that gateway using policy manager to check its policy implementation.

sharkkae Thanks for the response.

I understand, that it is this command that you are trying to run:

curl 'https://yourportal/login/auth/oauth/v2/token' --data
'client_id=5a6050112e77410a9ce2276c7c709643&grant_type=password&scope=OOB&username=sell2\test&password=CAdemo123!&login_hint=sell2'
 
Is that correct?
What is the error message, that you are receiving?
