Spring OAuth2 Retrieve Authorization Code Grant

Question

I'm working with a 3rd party REST service that requires retrieving a authorization code grant before issuing an access token. The code will be passed along with the client id and secret in order to retrieve that token. In order to get the code, you have to type the username and password in the form and click the allow button in order for the code to be generated in the redirect uri.

I don't think it's possible, but can this be done with Spring/Java purely using code and not having to go to the browser to retrieve the code?

Answer 1

Your 3rd party REST service needs to provide this functionality (and likely guidance in their API docs). If they do provide it....then yes you can do it entirely in your java code.
