Is it somehow possible to receive a connection from another party using OAuth2?

Do I need to add a specific user to the user list? Do I need to create an application?

Could it be done using a webhook or an automation?

 

Or should i build a webhook or automation and use that as a trigger to connect to another location using OAuth2?

 

The other party does not want to send data to my FME Server without using OAuth as a security measure.

Hi @jkr_da

 

As far as I’m aware the REST API would only support Basic Auth or Token authorization. 

I think if possible, if they could trigger a webhook on FME Flow, just notifying FME Flow that new data is available. Then, with your workspace, you could reach out to that service using their OAuth authentication to get the actual data. That might be the best solution we have to offer at the moment. 

If you could add your comments to this idea that would be helpful for our product management team!
