Salesforce Rest API: Issue with OAuth2.0 Login

Question

Request

End Point: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token grant_type=password&client_id=xxxx&client_secret=xxxx&username=xxxx&password=xxxxx

Response

{ id: "" issued_at: "" instance_url: "" signature: "" access_token: "" }

Issue

As per the documentation, http://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=remoteaccess_oauth_username_password_flow.htm&language=en_US
"token_type" needs to be included on the response. But it doesn't.

Any help on this is appreciated!

Answer 1

Documentation says:

token_type—Value is Bearer for all responses that include an access token.

Since your response includes access_token your token_type will always be "Bearer". There is no point including it into the response when it will always be the same...
