By using the OAuth 2.0 protocol, the Pega Process Fabric Hub can communicate securely with your applications over HTTPS. You define OAuth 2.0 client registration data instances so that the Pega Process Fabric Hub can access Pega Platform REST services. When you define the OAuth 2.0 client registration, you receive a client ID and a client secret that you use when you register your application in Pega Process Fabric Hub to create a secure connection. Client IDs and client secrets are unique to every operator in your system. After you create the client ID and client secret, you can use these credentials to register multiple applications that your operator can then access as an administrator.
