An application can request an access token using only its own credentials, the flow is pretty simple. Client-flow-scheme.png


The flow consists of the following steps:
(A) The client authenticates with the authorization server and requests an access token from the token endpoint.

(B) The authorization server authenticates the client, and if valid, issues an access token.


So, the next parameters are required

Parameter Description
Authentication method *OAUTH2C must be specified
Command Any of available request type can be choosen
API endpoint Http resource to serve the request
Tokens storage ???????
User/OAuth2 client/device ID Client Credentials to authenticate with authorization server
User/OAuth2 client/dev passwd
OAuth2 token endpoint HTTP resource used by the client to abtain an access token.



Back to i2Rest Client i2Rest client perfoms Oauth 2.0 Client credential flow when *OAUTH2C Authentication method is chosen.
