About OAuth Policy Prerequisites

Prerequisites for using an OAuth 2.0 policy are:

  • Applying the policy to the API

  • Having an OAuth 2.0 provider

  • A securityScheme if the API is RAML-based

Within the RAML securitySchemes definition, you include URIs for the authorization and access token for a Mule OAuth 2.0 provider as shown in the following example:

settings:
   authorizationUri: https://oauth2provider.cloudhub.io/authorize
   accessTokenUri:  https://oauth2provider.cloudhub.io/access_token
   authorizationGrants: [authorization_code, password, client_credentials, implicit]

Also, add the securedBy node after the method name of the resource and method you want to secure, as shown in the following example:

/users:
  get:
    securedBy: [oauth_2_0]

The following table maps the RAML grant types to the grant type names in the OAuth 2.0 policy configuration.
