OAUTH clients setup

You have a nice setup for streamlining OAUTH providers but there isn't a way to do this with OAUTH clients other than some custom coding.  It would be nice to store an oauth client as many APIs might use the same oauth client.  Also easier to maintain credentials then storing in the catalog.  This would be setup in the cloud manager like oauth providers.

    Thank you for the summary; that is helpful. We are currently working on our next major release, and we agree that this feature is something we want to implement in the future. Please note that our next major release will include a new, lightweight gateway runtime, and our intent is to deliver this feature on top of that new runtime rather than on the existing DataPower API Gateway. Also, I want to be clear that we are not committing to delivering this feature in the first version of our next major release.


    With that being said, it's a good idea, and we do plan to implement it.

    I included the PMR TS020051045   which has all the details

     

    In general, I can create an invoke rule that will call an Oauth provider's token endpoint.  But to do so, I need to set the apiKey and apiSecret, now I need a gatewayscript in front of the invoke rule to set those values which will be set in the catalog.  If the service call is a POST, then I have to set the body back to the original POST body (overwriting the apiKey and apiSecret) in yet another gatewayscript.  Then call the service provider's service with the Oauth token.  I'm not sure if it will cache correctly being the token invoke is a POST in most cases.  

     

    If another service is needed with the same exact OAUTH token needed, I'd have to do it all over again.

    Vincent, can you please elaborate a bit more on the specific problem that you're trying to solve? A scenario with a bit more details would help us better evaluate this request.
