Suppose you're building an API that requires authentication using OAuth 2.0. Walk through the flow of how a client would obtain an access token and use it to access protected resources.
- Client directly requests an access token from the resource server, which verifies client credentials and returns an access token if valid. The client then uses this token to access protected resources.
- Client includes its API key in requests to the resource server, which validates the key and returns an access token for accessing protected resources.
- Client requests authorization from the authorization server, receives an authorization code, exchanges it for an access token, and uses the access token to access protected resources by including it in the Authorization header of API requests.
- Client sends username and password to the authorization server, which returns an access token directly. The client then uses this token to access protected resources.
The OAuth 2.0 authorization flow involves the client obtaining an authorization code from the authorization server, exchanging it for an access token, and then using the access token to access protected resources. This flow ensures secure authentication and authorization for API access.
