Connect REST Connector - Auth Profile for Bearer Token obtained from JWT token Exchange
We need to call Rest API services that require a Bearer token in the authorization.
The Bearer token is returned from an authorization server using a OAuth2.0 JWT token exchange.
Is it possible to create an Authentication Profile to support this?
I.e., is it possible that I can specify the Authentication Profile in the Connect-REST rule, and the Bearer token is being taken care of through set up of OAuth 2.0 Provider data instances?
I noticed that JWT Bearer is a supported grant type in OAuth2.0 Client Registration. However, it is not an option for OAuth 2.0 Provider.

As far as I'm aware, there's no short way to do that.
You can to create, for example, a data page (say, D_JWTdata) which will make a call to the auth server to get jwt. Then you will use the data page to include the token to your REST-requests

Thanks guys. The use of a separate data page is what I gathered. I was just trying to make sure I am not missing any OOTB capabilties.
