Hello,

I am using oath2 client-credential flow. I enabled oauth2 plugin at service layer but when I tried to call routes, always received below error.

> {  
> “error\_description”:“The access token is invalid or has expired”,  
> “error”:“invalid\_token”  
> }

I am sure that token is not expired since I fetched just before calling this endpoint.

For getting token:

> curl --insecure --include --request POST --header ‘Content-type: application/json’ --data ‘{“client\_id”:“hasjahdkjkHCiyrS0PTYGE2P6”,“grant\_type”: “client\_credentials”, “client\_secret” : “59skkzG0asao889asaslLAzkwLK”}’ ‘[https://localhost:8443/oauth2/token](https://localhost:8443/oauth2/token)’

For calling endpoint:

> curl --include --insecure -X GET “[https://localhost:8443/v1/pickup-locations](https://localhost:8443/v1/pickup-locations)” -H ‘Accept: application/json’ -H ‘Authorization: Bearer Npwe9eKZv9c3BHiTmV7dtPC66q2ACE7H’

Here are my settings for your reference.
