Cloud Pak for Business Automation

We are using CP4BA and are looking at using OAuth 2.0 authentication with Azure Active Directory integration. Please send us information on how we can accomplish this task.

To do OAuth which is advanced authentication,

basic authentication setup and steps for preparing your environment, including

the shared LDAP configuration, are prerequisites

for configuring advanced authentication

(Oauth 2.0)

See this link for configuring advanced authentication:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/19.0.x?topic=api-configuring-advanced-authentication

Note: Make sure that your identity provider

(Azure in your case)

supports JWK token validation using the

RS256 signature algorithm.

See the link below how to verify the

signature of a JWT token on Azure:

JWT token:
