Implementation steps
The steps can be broken down into six main steps:
- Obtaining an Oracle identity cloud account
- Configuring an Oracle identity cloud resource server
- Configuring an Oracle identity cloud client application
- Adding users and groups to client application
- Configuring the API platform gateway
- Applying OAuth 2.0 policy to APIs
The following diagram illustrates how the different implementation steps relate to the different components of the solution. As it can be seen from the diagram, the relationships between the different solution components is also described. This can be very useful when understanding dependencies and why the steps are executed in a particular order:

OAuth 2.0 configuration steps
Step 1 – obtaining an Oracle identity cloud account
Before any OAuth 2.0 configuration can be done, the obvious first step is to obtain an Oracle identity cloud account. For users with a Universal Credits (UCM) account, this step is not required as an Oracle identity cloud (foundation) instance...
