OAuth with IBM API Manager and IBM Mobile First

Question

I would like to use OAuth as authorization system for my API created on the IBM API Manager (on Bluemix). Is it possible to use the IBM MobileFirst as OAuth provider? I have already tried inserting

mobile_first_context*/authorization/v1/authorization

as “Authorization URL”, after calling

advanced_developer_portal_context*/oauth/authorize 

I obtain the form to insert the credentials, I enter a MobileFirst user and password (credentials are in basic user registry) but it seems to be always failing and the form is constantly visible.

What am I getting wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

This is not possible through MobileFirst Platform Foundation at this time. The question should be directed at the API Manager product. You could probably open a PMR (support ticket) for that team.

Answer 2

To use OAuth to the secure the APIs in IBM API Management, please see the Securing an API by using OAuth 2.0 tutorial. As provided in the earlier answer it is not possible through IBM Mobile First Platform at this time.
