IG 7.1.2

ClientCredentialsOAuth2ClientFilter

Authenticates OAuth 2.0 clients by using the client’s OAuth 2.0 credentials to obtain an access_token from an authorization server, and injecting the access_token into the inbound request as a Bearer Authorization header.

The filter obtains the client’s access_token by using the client_credentials grant type, where the credentials are sent with the client_secret_basic method. The filter refreshes the access_token as required.

Use this filter in a service-to-service context, where services need to access resources protected by OAuth 2.0.
