Hi Ram,

It's most likely the grant type of the authorization that you are expecting. We use Authorization Code by default for OAuth2. We do have a support ticket where I think you have requested Resource Owner. Is that correct?

You now have the resource owner flow type assigned to your Identity Server credentials Ram, therefore check our online docs to ensure you are including the correct header syntax.

Hi Jason,

I tried to use the Auth_code for Grant_Type, but still, it's throwing me same error.

Hi Ram, so your grant type has been changed to Resource Owner as requested. Check our docs to make sure you are passing the correct header.

Look at Resource Owner. There are also links to a site that explains the grant types for OAuth2 so please ensure resource owner is for you. If not let us know.

Here is that link I mentioned above: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-oauth-2

Our default Grant Type is Authorization Code and we do not offer any others unless you provide your specific use case (which you did in your email to us).

Other available are Implicit and Resource Owner.

The above site gives good examples on what each is best used for.
