I installed and configured the OAuth2 Basic plugin with our App but I get the following error and I don’t know what is going on:
```plaintext

```
Our app uses OAuth2 with Response type = code . It uses Python authlib to produce all OAuth2 results. Is the plugin expecting something else as part of the token response?

I managed to fix this problem. The issue was that our OAuth2 App was returning the token as “text/html; charset=UTF-8” and had to be “application/json”
