Configuring Hybrid Data Pipeline to authorize client applications using OAuth 2.0

Hybrid Data Pipeline supports OAuth 2.0 based authentication for OData APIs, in addition to basic authentication. OAuth 2.0 is not backwards compatible with OAuth 1.0 or 1.1.

Customers using client applications or third-party applications like Salesforce Connect and Power BI will be able to invoke Hybrid Data Pipeline OData access endpoints by passing in the required tokens as opposed to passing in username and password in basic authentication. This allows users to grant applications access to their OData endpoints without storing their user credentials in the application. Hybrid Data Pipeline supports OAuth based authorization for OData access endpoints for OData version 2 and version 4.

To integrate a client Application with Hybrid Data Pipeline using OAuth 2.0, an application developer can integrate an in-house OData application with OAuth 2.0. The following section lists the steps involved in achieving an OData connection with Hybrid Data Pipeline using OAuth.
