OAuth2 client credential flow: Standalone services

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

• A billing application that alerts PolicyCenter about a delinquent policy that needs to be canceled.
• An application that uploads pictures of a covered location or vehicle, either when a policy is bound or after a loss has occurred.
• An external document management system.

This topic discusses how to execute authentication for standalone services.
