Midrange Dynamics and other ISVs offer "API Gateway" technology which stands in front of your homegrown API suite and sifts the shifting sands of authentication.
z/OS has an IBM-provided component "z/OS Connect" but we don't have that on IBM i.

Subject: OAuth2 authentication with hosted web service
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
We've been asked to setup a webservice for a vendor to call and get some data from our IBM I server. Setting up the webservice to do this was fairly straightforward, but we'd like to use more than the "Basic" authentication available (username/password) with the integrated web server wizard (IWS). Do you have any experience or links explaining if and how IBM i can support this?
