Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How should I use this class?
You need to first instantiate a SOFA object with the authorization server and the authorization scope.
The application then calls the appropriate authenticateWithXxx() method based on the desired OAuth 2.0 authentication method (grant type).
From then on, the application can get a valid access token anytime thru getAccessToken() or a ready-to-use HTTP authorization header with getHttpAuthorizationHeader(). If the access token has expired in the meantime, SOFA will transparently call the authorization server again for a refreshed or a new token based on the used grant type.
The HTTP authorization header with the access token must then be added to each HTTP request sent to the server holding the protected resource.
Q: Does SOFA need any additional library or jar files?
Only one additional library (org.json.JSONObject) is used to parse the returned JSON data from the authorization server. The required class is included in the distribution package.
Q: Is SOFA affected by the Apache Log4j vulnerability?
No, SOFA uses the standard Java Logger class which was not affected by this vulnerability.
