The following objects are provided to support OAuth 2.0:

  • OAuthClient -- provides interfaces for obtaining the access token and protected resources. For more information, refer to the section called “OAuthClient object” in Objects and Controls.

  • OAuthRequest -- uses the access token to obtain each property of the HTTP request of the protected resource, including the server address, the request header, the secure protocol, the timeout value etc. For more information, refer to the section called “OAuthRequest object” in Objects and Controls.
