Authentication

To use the IDCloud platform, you must authenticate via access token using the OAuth2 authentication system. Unico’s OAuth2 authentication supports server-to-server interaction between a web application and Unico's services.

In this setup, you will need a service account, an impersonal account that belongs to your application rather than to an individual user. Your application calls Unico’s APIs on behalf of the service account, so no users are directly involved. This setup is called “two-legged OAuth,” or “2LO.” Typically, an application uses a service account when it calls Unico’s APIs to work with its own data rather than user data.
