The Authorization Server API requires an API token like the other management APIs (Users, Groups, etc).

The above request worked fine for me in Postman after I created an API token for my org. Make sure you keep API tokens safe on your server, and don’t put them in frontend (JavaScript) code.

Just curious, why do you need to create a custom Authorization Server? I want to understand more about your use case.

Thank you Nate for your support,

I am able to create a custom Authorization Server successfully.

Now i want to add New Web Application with the help of Postman and i am using documents that are available on below link.
https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/apps#add-application

but not able to add new application and having some confusion about Request Parameters, Header Parameters and JSON body parameter.

Could you please provide sample Request for Add New Web Application? It would be helpful for us to get Client Id and Client secret with related information in Response Body.

Hi @ashish311patidar,

Take a look at the postman collections for “Apps” here - https://developer.okta.com/reference/postman_collections/

You can see the request parameters and body that is used in “Add oauth2 client app” and use the same in your request.
