Support of OAuth2 implicit grant flow for API calls

Sebastian Klaus on 4/27/2020 8:11:58 AM
We need to include an API based on the OAuth2 implicit grant flow.

Unfortunately, the possibility provided by Business Central to use direct authentication is not sufficient for this.

Why this model? We want to use an external API, and this only gives us the ability to use the OAuth2 implicit grant flow for authorization and authentication.

In JavaScript and .NET this is not a problem because we can already use Microsoft libraries for this. In Business Central there is currently no possibility to use this flow.

For this reason it would be desirable if this flow would be available as well.

We're currently investigating if implicit grant flow should and can be supported for connecting to external services from Business Central. Please be specific in the comments as to which systems implicit grant flow is needed in order to connect from Business Central to the external service. Also indicate, if service supports other OAuth flows besides implicit grant flow.
