Hi, RC team, hope you're doing well!

I've been having an issue getting JWT authorization to work. I'm able to successfully get an access token in Postman, but in my code, I only get error code OAU-250 (unsupported grant type). I've tried to follow the directions of the technical guide and by looking at other posts here.

In Postman, I'm using a POST request with endpoint: https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/oauth/token
Authorization: I entered Basic Auth with my clientId and clientSecret as Username and Password, respectively.

Headers are auto-generated by Postman; I don't add any custom ones. Note that when Postman creates the Authorization header, its value becomes "Basic " and then the base64 encoding of my clientId:clientSecret. I can confirm here too that Content-Type is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

Finally for the Body, where I've chosen x-www-form-urlencoded, the grant_type is "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer" and the assertion is my JWT.

All of this results in a successful POST request where I get the appropriate access/refresh tokens, scope, and all.


In the code, however, I try to follow the above as close as possible, but I keep on getting that OAU-250 error. Note that I have to use ScriptEase, a dialect of JavaScript.

My API Configuration looks like the following [identifying info omitted]:

var config = {

"url": "https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/oauth/token",

  "method": "POST",

  "timeout": 0,

  "headers": {

    "Accept":"application/json",

    "Authorization": "Basic " + uclientId:clientSecret, base64 encoded together],

    //"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",

    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8",

  },

  "body": {

    //"grant_type":"urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Agrant-type%3Ajwt-bearer",

    "grant_type":"urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer",

    "assertion":omy JWT],

  }

};



// I then try to make my request with:



var client = new HttpClient(config.url);

var request = new HttpRequest('POST', '');

request.addHeaders(config.headers);

request.setBody(config.body.toString(), "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

var response = client.sendRequest(request);

As seen above, I've tried both variants of grant_type (with and without the %3A character for the colons), and nothing I've tried on my end has worked. The response comes back as OAU-250 mstatus code 400]. Would you happen to know what may be the cause of this or what I should try changing? Please let me know if you have any questions.

Wishing you all the best!
