Public Preview: Applications in Azure API Management
Announcing the public preview of the Applications feature in Azure API Management. This new capability introduces a more streamlined and secure way to manage OAuth-based access to your APIs and products.
With Applications, API publishers and developers can now more effectively manage client identity, access, and authorization flows.
Key capabilities:
- The API Management gateway can authorize access to products and APIs using OAuth tokens
- API managers can identify which products require OAuth authorization
- API managers can create and manage client applications and assign them access to specific products
- Developers can view their registered applications and use OAuth tokens to securely call APIs and products
This feature simplifies identity and access management in API programs, enabling a more secure and scalable approach to API consumption.
