QT 5.15 OAuth2 with certificate flow
-
Hello, I am a total beginner with OAuth2 communication and has gotten an assignment to use Oauth2 with certificate flow to send some json data to a recipient. I have done some reading but I am still not sure where to start.
Maybe my immediate question is if I have all I need to create the certificate, within the QT framework, version 5.15.8 specifically? I tried to see if I could modify the reddit client example to use certification but I was not able to find a way to add a certificate through the functions that were used in that example: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtnetworkauth.git/tree/examples/oauth/redditclient?h=5.15
Having looked around, it seems I need to create a "json web token" for the client certificate to be encoded into and QT seems to be lacking such a tool?
If there is anyone who has worked with OAuth2 with certification flow in QT and can give some pointers, I would greatly appreciate the help!

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Are you referring to the client credentials flow ?
In any case, do you have an application somewhere that will handle the authentication part ?
