Overview
This article clarifies whether a deleted custom authorization server can be recovered.
Applies To
- API Access Management
- Authorization Server tab
- Custom Authorization Server
- Default Custom Authorization Server
Solution
Once a custom authorization server is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
A new custom authorization server must be created to replace the deleted one.
- While the new server can have the same name as the deleted custom authorization server, the newly created authorization server will have a new
${authorizationServerId}. - Any integrations using the deleted authorization server must be updated to use this new
${authorizationServerId}.
NOTE: If the Default Custom Authorization server has been deleted, it is not possible to recreate it with "default" as the ${authorizationServerId}.
