Managing OAuth clients

You can authorize external applications to access the Guardium® Insights SaaS web services by using the Open Authorization (OAuth) protocol. OAuth is the industry-standard security protocol for authorization.

Premium This feature is available only in the Premium edition of Guardium Insights SaaS.

In OAuth, the applications are called clients. The OAuth client uses the access token that is issued by an authentication server (IBM® Security Verify) to access the Guardium Insights SaaS resources through APIs. To call the web services, the applications must be registered as an OAuth client in Guardium Insights SaaS.
