Customize OAuth 2.0 Authentication type for REST API
Hi All, We have an existing PEGA REST API implemented having custom authentication type. We get the user credential in request header and same are getting use for service authentication. Now, We need to enhance our custom authentication logic for OAuth 2.0 (for other consumer ) by keeping existing as-is. Can someone please let me know which OOTB activity trigger's for OAuth 2.0 authentication type in PEGA REST service (PEGA 8.7.0 version). So that we can try to use that activity in our existing authentication pattern. Appreciate you help on this.

Hi, Please go ahead and create oauth profile and add it to REST API. Please refer below articles on how to configure oauth profile. Please reach out if you need further help.

@GopalaMarri Thanks you for your reply. We have configured Individual Oauth2.0 in our REST API service package and it's working fine also. However we want to use both LDAP as well as Oauth 2.0 in single service package. For that we have created custom authentication service, in this authentication service activity we want to trigger Oauth 2.0 or LDAP based on consumer. We are able to cutomize for LDAP but need to customize for Oauth 2.0 for which we need to know which default activity PEGA uses for Oau2.0 authentication that activity we need to know which we use in our custom authentication activity. We tried to use pzOauth but that is also not getting use by default seems. We tried to trace the default Oauth 2.0 but service rule tracer does not show the authentication details.
