What are two steps in the OAuth2 protocol flow? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The user is authenticated by the authorization server and granted an access token.
• B. The user's original credentials are validated by the resource server and authorization is granted.
• C. The user indirectly requests authorization through the authorization server.
• D. The user requests an access token by authentication and authorization grant presentation.
• E. The user requests the protected resource from the resource server using the original credentials.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because it describes the authentication process where the user is authenticated and an access token is granted. Option C is also correct as it indicates that the user's authorization request goes through the authorization server. Options B, D, and E are incorrect because they either misattribute actions to the wrong servers or do not accurately reflect the OAuth2 protocol steps.
