Step 9: Send an authorization request

GET {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/as/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={{webAppSimpleLoginId}}&redirect_uri=https://www.google.com&scope=openid

Use GET {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/as/authorize to interact with the resource owner and obtain an authorization grant. The authorization request must include values for the following properties:

client_id

A string that specifies the application’s UUID, which was returned in Step 1.
response_type

A string that specifies the code or token type returned by an authorization request. For this activity, the value is code.
redirect_uri

A string that specifies the URL that specifies the return entry point of the application. The redirect_uri property value defined in Step 1 is https://example.com.
scope

A string that specifies permissions that determine the resources that the application can access.

The response returns a 302 message with a flowID embedded in the Location header, which specifies that a call should be made to another resource to continue the authentication flow. The Location header looks like this:

Location: https://apps.pingone.com/974dba86-d36e-202e-66b4-ee324a5cea21/signon/?flowId=72df1cd2-3b99-4225-a1fa-6dc9ec0f78fc

If this call fails to return a 302 HTTP Status, for a possible solution refer to Configuring and managing Postman.
