~7 min read · 12 practice questions ·
What the exam expects
- Configure Basic authentication and its challenge behavior on HTTP Request.
- Assign OAuth authorization, callback and token endpoints to their actual roles.
- Match token extraction and refresh conditions to the provider contract.
- Manage stored OAuth information without confusing local context with remote revocation.
Key terms: a grant is an authorization method; a token endpoint issues credentials; a callback receives the authorization result; an extractor reads token-response fields; a token manager stores an OAuth context.
