Postman settings

In postman on the Authorization tab select type of Oauth 2.0. Then you can set up postman authentication as so.

Conclusion

Using postman to test your API calls is quite easy even if you need authentication in order to access the api endpoint.

    Thanks for this Linda! postman loads the identity server login page and authorization is successful, however the postman page just redirects to identity server login page again. Any help please?
