Francesco Boccassi Dlt Outbound callout OAuth 2.0 External Provider
Dear All,
I'm struggling with OAuth 2.0. In fact, the customer asked to recall external API from Salesforce that needs OAuth 2.0 authentication with grant type=client_credentials.
Do you know what should I do? I need your help as soon as possible since I need to release next week. I've configured Named Credential and I'm trying to configure the Auth. provider, but I don't know how. I've seen there are some standard Auth providers like google and facebook, but how can I configure the customer one?
The customer gave me the following info:
- Client_id= xxxxx
- Client_Secret= xxx
- url = xxxx
- grant_type = client_credentials
- Method: POST
- Header: authorization: Basic base64(client_id:client_secret) (This header can only be used if 'client_id' and 'client_secret' are NOT found within the message body and vice versa!)
- Header: content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- Endpoint = /auth/oauth/v2/token
- Parameters = Parameters: grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=a-client_id&client_secret=a-client_secret&scope=a-list-of-scope-values
- Header = content-type: application/json
- Body = { "access_token":"xxxx", "token_type":"Bearer", "expires_in":3600, "scope":"openid email" }

Hi Francesco,
I'm in a similar situation. Did you ever find a solution to this? Thanks!
