Enable and disable OAuth authentication

The oauth-auth stanza entry, located in the [oauth] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file, enables and disables the OAuth authentication method. By default, OAuth authentication is disabled.

Steps

1. Stop the WebSEAL server.

2. Edit the WebSEAL configuration file. In the [oauth] stanza, specify the protocols to support in the network environment. The protocols are shown in the following table.

   Protocol to support	Configuration file entry
   HTTP	oauth-auth = http
   HTTPS	oauth-auth = https
   Both HTTP and HTTPS	oauth-auth = both
   Disable OAuthc authentication	oauth-auth = none

   For example, to support both HTTP and HTTPS protocols:

   [oauth]
   oauth-auth = both

3. Restart the WebSEAL server.
