Configuring Authentication and Authorization

The following steps summarize how to obtain OAuth 2.0 authorization and access token from SAP Fieldglass.

  1. Request an access token using one of the supported authentication methods - see OAuth2 Authentication/Token Acquisition.

  2. Include the access token along with a request to an SAP Fieldglass REST API.

  3. Acquire a fresh access token once the existing one expires.

For details on how to perform each of these steps, see the following sections in this guide.


    OAuth2 Authentication/Token Acquisition
    Explains how client applications obtain and use OAuth2 access tokens to access SAP Fieldglass REST APIs. Covers client credentials, SAML, and certificate-based authentication methods, including required parameters, URLs, access token usage, API key requirements, and X.509 certificate configuration.
    Token Expiration
    Access tokens have limited lifetimes (the current default is 7200 seconds = 120 minutes).
