Question

OAuth client_credentials

And I can successfully create an access token using the authorization_code flow.
 
(the documentation of what URL should be used for the token endpoint is very unclear.  This worked for me: https://api.na3.adobesign.com/oauth/v2/token, but the video used: https://secure.na3.adobesign.com/oauth/v2/token , which throws an error)
 
I am wondering if adobe sign supports the client_credentials flow as that is a replacement for the Integration Key which is now deprecated.
 
When I try to use the client_credentials i get a
{
"error_description": "Invalid grant_type client_credentials",
"error": "invalid_request"
}
 
indicates that adobe support recomends using the authorization code flow and just keept the the refresh token (which has a 6 month lifespan) alive.
That seems like a huge work around.
 
Is there any update on full OAuth support?

Hi petefc,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

For information on OAuth support, please refer to the information on the following help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/api-manager/authentication-types.html

Check if that helps.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Thanks @Meenakshi Negi  that refers to oAuth rellated to ColdFusion not eSign.   I think this blog post is more on topic about Adobe's OAuth strategy.

That said I have confirmation that eSign does not currently support the grant_type  client_credentials.   
The only way to maintain a persistent connenction to eSign in a stateless way is with that deprecated Integration Key.
