2.1.5 Types of OAuth REST API

OAuth services are enabled as part of OAM version 12c Installation process. OAM provides an API based approach for configuring OAuth Services. There are 2 types of API OAuth services providers namely Admin API and Runtime API.

The Admin API provides capability to create mandatory admin components like Identity domain, Resource Server and client etc. They must be configured before the client makes the token request.

Note:

To Execute Admin API, you can refer to Oracle OAM OAuth REST API documentation available at https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/idm/access-manager/12.2.1.3/oroau/api-admin-identity-domain.html.
