Authorization

The Authorization section in Vault is designed to manage user authentication and authorization. This section ensures secure access to the system's functionality by overseeing the processes of SignIn and SignOut.


This section provides two endpoints that enable the following actions:

  • User Authentication: This process is facilitated by the POST /oauth/token endpoint. Specifically designed for user authentication, it generates an OAuth access token upon successful authentication, allowing secure requests to resources.

  • User Logout: The POST /signout endpoint is intended for user logout and the invalidation of access tokens. Upon calling this endpoint, the server deauthorizes the user and invalidates the current access token.

These endpoints play a crucial role in user authentication and session management within the system.
