Storage

The OAuth2 Service stores provisioned scopes and registered clients into memory or persistent storage.

The storage configuration is used to determine where the data should be stored. For Database type storage, refer to Authorization Server Storage Database Schema for details on creating the table for Authorization Server.

Parameter Name

Description

Parameter Name

Description

type

Type of storage to be used. The value can be one of the following:

  • file-based (Default) - The data will be stored in a file-based storage.

  • database - The data will be stored in a database.

Only PostgreSQL and Oracle database are currently supported.

file-based.storage-location

Location of the file-based storage. Will be created if not found. Only used when storage type is set to "file-based"

For fresh installs, the last path in the location should be non-existent as the Authorization server will create it automatically.

database.profile-name

The Database Profile Name in MZ to be used. Only used when storage type is set to "database". The value of the profile name should include the directory name as shown in the desktop UI.

Example

storage { database { profile-name="REST.PRF_DB" } type="database" }

database.poolsize

The size of the connection pool, representing the number of database connections that are kept open and ready for use. Only used when stroage type is set to "database". 

Server

The server configuration for the OAuth2 Service that will determine where the access token endpoint will be hosted on and the access token expiry.

Parameter Name

Description

Parameter Name

Description

access-token-expiry

Validity period in seconds for access token generated.


Management API

The Management API is used to provision scopes and register clients via HTTP. Clients need to be registered before any access token can be requested.

The Management API configuration is used to configure the base endpoint in the Authorization Server that will be used to host the Management API.

For more information on the function of Management API, refer to Management API.

Parameter Name

Description

Parameter Name
