Oracle IDCS - How to authenticate /token REST API endpoint

User_Y59QJ
Member Posts: 4 Green Ribbon
I'm trying to call the /token endpoint in Oracle IDCS to retrieve an access token, however it's returning an unauthorized error. What do I need to authenticate correctly?
<H1>Unauthorized</H1>
Proper authorization is required for this area. Either your browser does not perform authorization, or your
authorization has failed.
What I've tried so far in Postman:
POST https://idcs-*.identity.oraclecloud.com/oauth2/v2/token Body: grant_type = client_credentials client_id = * client_secret = * Header - Authorization: Basic <base4encoded client_id:client_secret>
Documentation source:

It turns out the problem was calling the API on /v2 and the following works fine:
POST https://idcs-*.identity.oraclecloud.com/oauth2/v1/token
