Information
You may only use extension grant types if you are using External Identity API.
The OAuth2 specification allows for extension grant types to be created (see section 4.5 in RFC 6749). Mediaconnect has created a proprietary grant type to enable the token endpoint to issue tokens using the state code given by the External Identity API. In order to use the custom grant type the client must POST to the token endpoint using the following parameters (for External Identity API):
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| grant_type | https://connectid.no/oauth2/grant_type/extid_code |
| code | Set the value from the field extidCode in External Identity API |
