I am new to JSReport and it seems like a possible solution for my company.

However, I have a question.

Is it possible to setup the RESTFul API and the Web UI to use IDENTITY OAuth2?

- The JSReport Restful API would be a resource API and use introspection to validate the token.

- The JSReport Web UI , depending on the identity authentication authorization flow, would navigate to the IDENTITY UI screen to validate the user then once authenticated user is allowed in the system.

I have looked over the documentation and only saw basic auth, which will not work for our security restrictions at our company.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,

Michael

Yes, this should be possible to implement with custom extension.

I'll be able to help you and provide an example implementation in couple of days as I'm less busy.

I'm also interested in using token based authentication is jsreport. Did you get anywhere with that example implementation Jan?

Ah I totally forgot about this.

I've now created github ticket where we will discuss implementation of this with other developers.

Maybe you could join and describe your use-case / needs / benefits of OAuth for you?
