How to set up Oauth for my API built using cloud platform API management ?

[RishiKhandelwal]

Hi,

I have built an API using ODATA service and tested it fine in the API portal. Now if i want to use this API's proxy url as endpoint in some other third party application , my understanding is that I have to set up Oauth for it using Auth. Endpoint and Token endpoint.

But when I try to create a new client , I am not sure about which subscription to use ?

Hi Rishi,

As mentioned by Raghu below there are many ways to approach OAuth, but can you explain the reason you are looking to do OAuth? It is not necessarily a requirement for your API Proxy to be consumed by a 3rd party application, it is usually an optional approach.

Hi Rishi,

You can use SAP Cloud Platform OAuth to protect any service/application running in SAP Cloud Platform, so you have to select the application/service you want to protect using OAuth in the Subscription.

Eg: if you have deployed the application demo in your account scpapim, then you can select scpapim/demo in the subscription.

Now looks like you want to protect the API and not the application/service, for this please follow the blog :
