== What is a AAT and How to Obtain it ?
|
|
|
|
An *Authorization API Token* or *AAT* is a special OAuth2 Access Token with the scope *uma_authorization*.
|
|
|
|
Client applications can obtain an AAT from {{book.project.name}} just like any other OAuth2 Access Token. Usually, client applications obtain AATs after the user is successfully
|
|
authenticated in {{book.project.name}}. By default the _authorizaton_code_ grant type is used to authenticate users and issue an OAuth2 Access Token to the client application acting on their behalf.
|
|
|
|
For demonstrations purposes, the example below uses Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant Type to ask for a AAT.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Basic aGVsbG8td29ybGQtYXV0aHotc2VydmljZTpwYXNzd29yZA==" \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
|
|
-d 'username=${username}&password=${user_password}&grant_type=password' \
|
|
"http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/${realm_name}/protocol/openid-connect/token"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As a result, you will get the following response from the server:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"access_token": ${AAT},
|
|
"expires_in": 300,
|
|
"refresh_expires_in": 1800,
|
|
"refresh_token": ${refresh_token},
|
|
"token_type": "bearer",
|
|
"id_token": ${id_token},
|
|
"not-before-policy": 0,
|
|
"session_state": "3cad2afc-855b-47b7-8e4d-a21c66e312fb"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
== About the uma_authorization scope
|
|
|
|
The *uma_authorization* scope can be created just like any other _realm role_. Or even as a _client role_. Once you created it, just grant this role to
|
|
the users of your realm.
