OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange Handler Examples
Sometimes you want to integrate Salesforce into a complex system where you have a primary app, a central identity provider, and multiple other apps and microservices. In this model, users log in to the primary app via the identity provider and access data provided by the other apps and microservices. To fit Salesforce into this model as one of the apps providing data, use the OAuth 2.0 token exchange flow, which implements an Apex token exchange handler.
