Layer7 API Management

Hi Friends,

When I am accesing the oauth protected api using postman ,I am getting response as below.The same response i am getting when I am calling https://gatewayhost/auth/oauth/v2/authorize.

I have attached the screenshots for details.

{
"error": "invalid_request",
"error_description": "Validation error"
}

Please guide me where I am going wrong.

Hi Sonia,

I would check in OAuth manager that this token is valid (not expired or revoked) for the protected api endpoint.

As for the screenshot of the authorize endpoint, this is used by the implicit and authcode grant types. Additional parameters are required for a proper response,  ie: response_type, client_id.

Regards,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your reply.But even directly I am calling token service with valid client id,client secret and grant_type=client _credentials ,I am getting same reply.Please find below screenshot:-

In screenshot i have send base 64 encoded clientid:clientsecret.

I also trient sending all the values in header but still I am unable to get access token.

Hi Sonia,

You need to use an HTTP POST here for the token endpoint:

Reference:

grant_type=client_credentials 

This grant_type can be used if the client is acting on its own behalf. No user consent is required.

Thanks Joe alot.

Now I am able to get the access token but still when I am calling the protected api with access token as my query parameter ,I am getting an error:

Am I suppose to add something to header.In this example I have just added access token to my query parameter.

I also tried with the below settings.Can you please guide ,how shall I proceed further:-

Thanks you Joe. 

I am able to perform oauth authorization.

Thansk for your help
