How to create a OAuth endpoint for secure REST API Inbound connection

[Ray Mason]

Good morning.  I have an external app that will connect to the SN REST API’s and will need secure authentication.  I would like to implement OAuth and use standard SN infrastructure to handle this interaction.  I have reviewed the documentation, but it is a bit confusing.  I have a service account created with a 40 char password to test access to the REST API, but now I want to implement OAuth.  I’m looking for Guidance on and steps needed to set this up.

Thanks,

Ray

@Ray Mason 

refer my blog which I created 5 years ago on how to configure OAuth2.0 and it has all the steps on how 3rd party can consume the endpoint along with sample request body. you will have to share the API user credentials to 3rd party
