= {product-title} OAuth server
|
|
|
|
The {product-title} Control Plane includes a built-in OAuth server. Users obtain OAuth
|
|
access tokens to authenticate themselves to the API.
|
|
|
|
When a person requests a new OAuth token, the OAuth server uses the configured
|
|
identity provider
|
|
to determine the identity of the person making the request.
|
|
|
|
It then determines what user that identity maps to, creates an access token for
|
|
that user, and returns the token for use.
