Testing APIs in Postman using advanced OAuth flows
Blog post from Postman
Jonas Inggbom, director of sales engineering at Curity, discusses advanced OAuth 2.0 authorization flows such as JWT-Secured Authorization Request (JAR), Pushed Authorization Requests (PAR), and Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA), highlighting their functionality and usage in obtaining access tokens for API testing. These flows are particularly relevant for testers requiring user-level access tokens and involve complex operations beyond the traditional OAuth 2.0 code flow. Inggbom explains how tools like OAuth Tools can facilitate these processes by automating steps and validating requests, ensuring tokens are securely generated and can be seamlessly integrated into platforms like Postman for further API testing. The article underscores the importance of securing authorization requests and offers insights into the mechanics of these flows, which enhance security and manageability in API testing environments.
