API Service Provider

Introduction

The API Type of Service Provider is a bit of an exception compared to the other types.

It's primary use is for Machine-to-Machine communication, so it does not have a user (human) to complete the signing in.  

Instead, the User Authentication has already taken place before the API is called, and TrustBuilder will validate the Bearer Token, and check if the caller has authenticated and (possibly) proper authorization.

Therefore, there is no Identity Provider to link. The Authentication Scheme is also not applied.
