Hi, i'm tryng to to get Access Token from an OAuth2 Authorization Code flow.

Here the code: "PART 1" work fine and return the Authorization Code, bat "PART 2" don't work and return error.

 

Thanks for help

 

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
a = "<client_id>" & ":" & "<client_secret>",
a2 = Text.ToBinary(a),
a3 = Binary.ToText(a2, BinaryEncoding.Base64),

TokenURL = "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/oauth2/token/",
