I need to provide security for my REST APIs. So where should we need to configure the REST APIs in the OpenAM console.

Please provide me some links where i get some information.

Answer 1

OpenAM policy agents are the OpenAM proprietary way to achieve (Web)SSO and authorizations. You could configure URL policies as described in the docs https://backstage.forgerock.com/#!/docs/openam/13/admin-guide#chap-authz-policy , however the REST client must obtain an SSOToken and send this along when accessing the REST service.

You could also use OAuth2 which would be a standards-based approach.
