Writing Custom Grant Types

OAuth 2.0 authorization servers provide support for four main grant types according to theĀ OAuth 2.0 specification. They also allow you to add custom grant types and extend the existing ones.

To implement custom grant types for the ESB, see Writing a Custom OAuth 2.0 Grant Type in the MWARE IAM documentation. If you require any additional functionality for authorization_code , password , client_credentials, refresh_token and saml2-bearer grant types, its advisable to extend the following grant handler implementations.

Grant Type Existing Handler Class (which can be extended if required)
authorization_code org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.AuthorizationCodeGrantHandler
password org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.PasswordGrantHandler
refresh_token org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.RefreshGrantHandler
client_credentials org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.ClientCredentialsGrantHandler
urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:saml2-bearer org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.saml.SAML2BearerGrantHandler
