Integrating azure entra id with AEM 6.5 for oauth2 credentials grant type to access aem servlet

[varun2412]

Hello,

We want to integrate azure ad/azure entra id as oauth2 provider where third party application can access aem servlet(author environment) by getting access token from azure using client credentials grant type(2 legged authentication).

I am not finding any good documentation for it.

Thanks

Hi @varun2412 ,

 As per my understanding AEM supports 3 legged Oauth. But for 2 legged, the implementation would be same as 3-legged except you won't pass token and secret but empty strings. Client Application will need to have its client ID and secret stored in a secure manner.

Hi @TarunKumar 

Article which you sent...still showing 3 legged oauth.

We want to skip authorization step and directly get access token from azure ad and call aem servlet.

It is server-to-servet. Securing it by oauth instead of basic auth.

In which step we need to pass empty string? Is there any working example of it?

Thanks.
