- While you are right that oauth(2) is mainly used in different scenarios. However, oauth2 supports the "credentials" grant-type which essentially grants the resource owner access to their own resources. This closely resembles a traditional login where the refresh-token/auth-token is the quivalent to a session cookie.marstato– marstato2020-01-06 15:47:41 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2020 at 15:47
- @marstato this is something I did not know about and certainly interesting to know but I'm not sure it applies. The resource owner in this case is a completely separate entity and needs to push updates into our database via an API call, so the resource owner (partner company) doesn't need access to its own resources, it needs access to update our server with its resources.Umair– Umair2020-01-06 18:00:50 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2020 at 18:00

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
