// The previous code correctly returns the Authorization Code

// PART 2: Now I try to Get Access Token passing the Authorization Code, the client_id and the client_secret

// Base64 Encoding

    Solved, the problem was due to an erroneous Base64 Encoding

    In addition, you can also try to add the 'relative path' option to your connector if it works:

    let
        // PART 1: Get Authorization Code
        Body =
            "{'username':'<MyUsername>','password':'<MyPsw>','scope':['<SelectedScope>']}",
        url = "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/api/login/sso",
        GetJson =
            Json.Document(
                Web.Contents(
                    url,
                    [
                        Headers = [
                            ContentType = "application/json"
                        ],
                        Content = Text.ToBinary(Body)
                    ]
                )
            ),
        AuthorizationCode = GetJson,
        // The previous code correctly returns the Authorization Code
        // PART 2: Now I try to Get Access Token passing the Authorization Code, the client_id and the client_secret
        // Base64 Encoding
        _client = "<client_id>:<client_secret>",
        TokenURL = "http://XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXX.com",
        Body2 =
            "{'grant_type': 'authorization_code','code': '"& AuthorizationCode& '" }",
        Source =
            Web.Contents(
                TokenURL,
                [
                    Headers = [
                        ContentType = "application/json",
                        Authorization = "Basic " & Binary.ToText(Text.ToBinary(_client), BinaryEncoding.Base64)
                    ],
                    RelativePath="/oauth2/token/",
                    Content = Text.ToBinary(Body2)
                ]
            )
