Task 3: Test The Workflow

The Test the Workflow endpoints perform the following actions:

  • Send an authorization request.

  • Send an external authorization request.

  • Submit credentials to login and for account linking.

  • Return an access token.

The authorization and token endpoints that you’ll call to test the workflow require an application ID and secret to complete the sign-on action. This workflow uses the ID and secret from the application you created in the environment configuration collection.

What you’ll do

You will initiate an external identity provider flow, submit credentials for the identity on the external provider, link accounts and complete the workflow.

  • POST request to the authorize endpoint.

  • GET requests to read and start the external authentication flow.

  • POST request to submit credentials for the external identity account.

  • POST request to submit the user’s login credentials for account linking.

  • POST request to get the access token.

If you choose to use an alternate application, be aware that the variables in the Postman collections point to the application ID and secret that you created in the Environment Configuration collection. You must change these values manually either in your Postman environment or in the endpoint’s parameters to run the request using your alternate application.
