Using Password

In the password grant type, the user provides their resource server credentials (username/password) to the client, which sends across an access token request to the API management. This grant type is ideally used when the request is generated from a reliable source.

After configuring the  OAuth Token End Point policy, provide the following parameters in the Postman and click the Send button to get the access token:

• Method: POST.
• URL: Project proxy URL.
• Query Parameters:
• grant_type: Password.
• • form-urlencoded parameters:
    • username: The resource owner username.
    • password: The resource owner password.
  • client_id: Specify consumer key generated in client subscription.

  • client_secret: Specify consumer secret generated in client subscription.

    Sample request

  • scope: The possible scope of the request. This parameter is OPTIONAL; refer to the Obtaining Access Token with Scope section to know about Scope.
