Disabling test tool restrictions

The default OAuth provider contains security mechanisms that prevent the ability to obtain authorization tokens in the CMS Portal test tool when you use Implicit or Authorization Code grant types. If your OAuth provider allows those actions to function correctly from the test tool, you can disable this option.

Before you begin

You must have administrator access to the CMS Portal to complete this task.
Note: This module synchronizes the credentials of applications that are created by consumers in the CMS Portal site UI. It cannot synchronize the credentials for applications that are created by the provider in the API Manager UI.

Procedure

  1. If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
  2. In the administrator dashboard, click Configuration > System > IBM API Developer Portal.
  3. In the CONFIGURATION section, deselect the Optimise OAuth experience in test tool option
    Option in configuration list
  4. Click Save configuration.

Results

You successfully disabled the Optimise OAuth experience in test tool option. You can now use the CMS Portal test tool to test an Implicit or Authorization Code grant type in an OAuth provider API, if your OAuth provider allows those actions to function correctly from the test tool.

What to do next

You can enable the Optimise OAuth experience in test tool option by repeating the task but selecting the option and then clicking Save configuration.
