OAuth Protocol Flow - Resource Owner Credentials
The password grant type allows the OAuth client to directly send the user’s credentials to the OAuth server.
This grant is a great user experience for trusted first party clients both on the web and in native device applications.
| Endpoint | Parameters | Response |
|---|---|---|
/oauth2.0/accessToken |
grant_type=password&client_id=ID&client_secret=<SECRET>&username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD |
The access token. |
Because there is no redirect_uri specified by this grant type, the service identifier recognized by CAS and matched in the service registry is taken as the client_id instead. You may optionally also pass along a service or X-service header value that identifies the target application url. The header value must match the OAuth service definition in the registry that is linked to the client id.
