Securing Oracle Service Bus REST services with OAuth2 (without using additional products)

OAuth2 is a popular authentication framework. As a service provider it is thus common to provide support for OAuth2. How can you do this on a plain WebLogic Server / Service Bus without having to install additional products (and possibly have to pay for licenses)? If you just want to implement and test the code, see this installation manual. If you want to know more about the implementation and choices made, read on!

Oracle Mobile Cloud Service (MCS): An introduction to API security: Basic Authentication and OAuth2

As an integration/backend developer, when starting a project using Mobile Cloud Service, it is important to have some understanding of what this MBaaS (Mobile Backend as a Service) has to offer in terms of security features. This is important in order to be able to configure and test MCS. In this blog I will give examples on how to configure and use the basic authentication and OAuth2 features which are provided to secure APIs. You can read the Oracle documentation (which is quite good for MCS!) on this topic here.
