OAuth2 client credential flow: Services with service account mapping

A service is an application that typically executes action without human intervention. Services typically have no user interface. Examples of services include:

  • An FNOL application that takes a collection of First Notice of Loss information stored in a database or file and sends it to ClaimCenter so that claims can be created.
  • A Metro Report application that provides ClaimCenter with information about police reports related to auto accidents.
  • An application that uploads pictures of a covered location or vehicle, either when a policy is bound or after a loss has occurred.

This topic discusses how to execute authentication for services with service account mapping.
