InterSystems IRIS 2025.2.0 introduces several features to improve the user experience of configuring OAuth2.

- OAuth2 is now a native authentication type and can be easily enabled for your services and web applications. Previously, OAuth2 was a type of delegated authentication.

- You can now create resource servers with the new OAuth2.ResourceServer class, which simplifies resource server configuration significantly. Previously, resource servers were instances of OAuth2.Client.

- The OAuth2.ResourceServer class and provides a sample authenticator for determining user permissions which, for simple configurations, requires no custom code (this previously required a custom ZAUTHENTICATE implementation). This simple authenticator can be extended and customized to suit your environment. The OAuth2.ResourceServer supports multiple audiences.

- You can now use JDBC and ODBC to authenticate to InterSystems IRIS with access tokens.

We are interested in your feedback on these new changes and if they function as expected.
