Obtaining an OAuth Token

This snippet demonstrates how your apps can use simple username and password, also known as resource owner password credentials (ROPC) to obtain an OAuth token.

Prerequisites

• Set up Xcode with the IBM Verify framework.

Steps

1. Add a new Swift file to your project, and copy the following code snippet:

let hostname = URL(string: "https://yourserver/mga/sps/oauth/oauth20/token")!
let clientId = "yourClientId"
let username = "yourUserName"
let password = "yourPassword"
    
OAuthContext.shared.authorize(hostname, clientId, username: username, password: password)
{
    token, error in
  
    guard let _ = error else
    {
        print("Error: \(error.debugDescription)")
        return
    }
 
    if let token = token
    {
        // We got the token.
        print("Token: \(token)")
    }
}
    

Next Steps

You have now successfully used resource owner password credentials (ROPC) to obtain an OAuth token in your iOS application, by using the IBMVerifyKit framework.

For a more in-depth sample on OAuth tokens, have a look at the OAuth token sample under the Samples section. Furthermore, play around with other samples which demonstrate further functionality of the framework in the Samples section, or have a look at more quick, easy-to-implement code snippets in the Snippets section.
