Exposing the AEM resources through OAuth

This post will explain the approach to expose the resources through OAuth in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM).

Refer https://www.albinsblog.com/2017/05/how-to-get-basic-profile-details-of-user-through-oauth.html for the basic configurations to expose the resources through OAuth.

Exposing /etc/designs/geometrixx/static.css through OAuth

Configure the "Allowed Scope" as "/etc/designs/geometrixx"(based on the resource that should be exposed) in "Adobe Granite OAuth Resource Server"


The OAuth Authentication handler is not enabled by default and it looks to be an product defect.



Save the configurations(without any change) of "Adobe Granite OAuth Server Authentication Handler" to enable the handler (Perform the same step for previous post also)





Authorize the user:http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/oauth/content/authorization.html?client_id=fjgsnsbnlqgp5l3ck67oseb0f9-eucn-1ub&scope=/etc/designs/geometrixx&redirect_uri=http:__localhost:8080/test

Receive the access token using the code received:curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "code=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJmamdzbnNibmxxZ3A1bDNjazY3b3NlYjBmOS1ldWNuLTF1YiIsInN1YiI6ImFkbWluIiwiZXhwIjoxNDk5MjkyNzQ0LCJpYXQiOjE0OTkyOTIxNDQsInNjb3BlIjoiL2V0Yy9kZXNpZ25zL2dlb21ldHJpeHgifQ.5ex1DvYLhYdoKjUvpscbyUpL5CWc02gjcpyPMJAPpMs&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/test&client_id=fjgsnsbnlqgp5l3ck67oseb0f9-eucn-1ub&client_secret=r83jf37qc2jj4ggo8hmhcoqcc8" http://localhost:4502/oauth/token

The below step should be followed for publisher(assuming anonymous access is enabled) - Enable the authentication for the resource /etc/designs/geometrixx
