How to execute an OAuth API Authentication

In his walk through we will be referring to the following example, where the client service alias is PRT.505767457-PRT.111222333-e064c8c0-32ad-4dcf-9a76-f7542a5bae15 and the defined client service is test_123_Test_456_!!!

Steps:

1. generate the base64 of the string relative to <client service alias>:<client service password>. In our example it would be PRT.505767457-PRT.111222333-e064c8c0-32ad-4dcf-9a76-f7542a5bae15:test_123_Test_456_!!! (please note the colon sign “:”).

   1. Example using https://www.base64encode.org/ will produce the encoded base64 credential string UFJULjUwNTc2NzQ1Ny1QUlQuMTExMjIyMzMzLWUwNjRjOGMwLTMyYWQtNGRjZi05YTc2LWY3NTQyYTViYWUxNTp0ZXN0XzEyM19UZXN0XzQ1Nl8hISE=

      

2. Authenticate your client service with the base64 credential string

   1. Example using curl command (linux command line https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html )

      # Input Command
      curl --insecure -v -X POST https://staging.must.digital/oauth2/authorization-server/oauth/token -d "grant_type=client_credentials" -H "Authorization: Basic UFJULjUwNTc2NzQ1Ny1QUlQuMTExMjIyMzMzLWUwNjRjOGMwLTMyYWQtNGRjZi05YTc2LWY3NTQyYTViYWUxNTp0ZXN0XzEyM19UZXN0XzQ1Nl8hISE="
      
      # Output Response from service
      {"access_token":"eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOb24td3MiXSwic2NvcGUiOlsicmVhZCIsIndyaXRlIl0sImV4cCI6MTY1NjQyMTk4OCwianRpIjoiaU1IRWdrTUhySlc1MmVvdDZyaVlxN1gyUWdBIiwiY2xpZW50X2lkIjoiUFJULjUwNTc2NzQ1Ny1QUlQuMTExMjIyMzMzLWEwZjViOGIwLTk3OGUtNDUwMy04OTU4LTZmZTBjYzAyNmZhMCJ9.OfeSMcsHgnFak3fl1I31reu6f8evrVceYa_LA4YeJrsDkHJMiZfie0KnSflteWVYsTvydqteBZC7fd8mPxslIvzn20fwYvCp8OpnBCV0oYEnLuyfYbTmgJltHho7XenLTZXPa3WVQmvh7Jp9WJQWID7iH6qruZOX2iHBNLwNuLGr6R9jv9k7Vy78tjqjm0LlT6KUL41UehWr3hakMSUOlLk8PQIvmsm8MzzQBnFtPre3bsFxXbimg7s-EuzO4JxOFHO9cw2132kV1Q","token_type":"bearer","expires_in":86399,"scope":"read write","jti":"iMHEgkMHrJW52eot6rgA"}

3. At this point you have successfully retrieved an access token to be used in the API business calls, and that will be expired in 86399 seconds (~24h)
