6.3 OAuth Implementation
(Optional) To extend OFSLL SaaS, OAuth2 can be used for securing OFSLL web services user access Authentication.
Web services authentication using OAuth2 is one of the best approach for securing user authentication to extend OFSLL SaaS. This uses Oracle / Non-Oracle PaaS to authenticate service access request from an external partner application without sharing OFSLL environment access credentials (UID / Password) and leverages the built-in support for OAuth 2.0.
OAuth 2.0 is an open standard token-exchange technology for verifying a user’s identity across multiple systems and domains without risking the exposure of a password.
For detailed information, refer to the OAuth Implementation Guide shared in OTN library.
