OAuth User Authentication using GWS

You can set up Genesys Administrator Extension to use OAuth 2.0 protocol for user authorization. OAuth, short for "open authorization," is an open standard protocol that allows secure API authorization without requiring the user to provide their credentials to a third party. You can read more about OAuth here.

When OAuth is enabled, users can log in to GAX with accounts from Genesys Web Services (GWS).

To enable OAuth 2.0 authentication mechanism in GAX:

1. Set the oauth option to true in the gax.properties file.
2. Configure the OAuth authentication settings such as an Authorization URI, Token URI, Client ID, and Client Secret in the oauth Section.
3. Enable the token-based authentication as described in Secure Communication with Configuration Server.
