CORS VS Service Layer Access

Hi Devs

Does anyone know if there are plans or even if its possible to support service layer access requests from external applications? E.g. pulling a custom HTML report from the Sierra Leone instance from my web application (similar to CORS but more like cross origin service sharing). I’m sure there are plenty of security risks but is this something that, in theory, is possible?

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

we have OAuth2 authentication support which is intended for this use-case:
