You can configure ThingWorx as a Resource Server to allow ThingWorx URI requests via OAuth2 protocol. Service providers may use the response from the Resource Server to render and show data stored in ThingWorx. ThingWorx as a Resource Server is responsible for validating the access token and scopes on each resource request. You may need to consult with other PTC product administrators and identity provider administrators in your organization to configure other applications that are configured for this purpose.
