Overview

The Outbound OAuth2 Policy allows the API usage by authorized users and applications. This policy sets specific OAuth2 parameters such as authorization URL's which are generated through access tokens with client credentials (client ID and client secret) to enforce OAuth2 authentication for upstream API calls. Preconfigured OAuth2 accounts are needed for connection with the backend service, so you can access third-party URL's through the Proxy.

The OAuth2 Outbound Policy is not available for APIs and API versions.
The accounts used in the policy automatically reflect the changes made in the OAuth2 account itself.
If you delete an account, it will invalidate the policy and will display an error when the deleted account is referenced. In this case, you must select another account by navigating to the Policy Setting.

Policy Execution Order

The Outbound OAuth2 Policy executes after all policies, when the proxy calls the upstream API.
