OAuth 2.1

OAuth 2.1 is the consolidation of OAuth 2.0 and its best practices into a single standard. It allows third-party applications to grant limited access to an HTTP service through an authorization server.

When to Use

• Delegated Authorization Framework: Permitting third-party applications to access user resources without exposing user passwords.
• Single Sign-On (SSO) Architectures: Authorizing cross-application access tokens across interconnected enterprise platforms.
• Securing Public and Mobile APIs: Implementing standards-compliant token issuance, verification, and revocation.
• Machine-to-Machine Service Accounts: Granting automated microservice background daemons scoped API access.
