Something must be wrong with the request you're sending. Have you tested the Oauth Test clients including client_credentials (https://gateway.domain.com:8443/oauth/v2/client) post installation?

 

A properly installed oauth toolkit should work with below request.

First test the Test Clients at https://gateway.domain.com:8443/oauth/v2/client and make sure all the grant types work.

 

If not working, you still have some post installation steps to perform.

 

If that works, then try to make the call manually using a REST client for client_credentials grant type.

 

Request
Method:	POST
Header:	content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Header:	authorization: Basic base64(client_id:client_secret) (This header can only be used if 'client_id' and 'client_secret' are NOT found within the message body and vice versa!)
Endpoint:	/auth/oauth/v2/token
Parameters:	Parameters: grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=a-client_id&client_secret=a-client_secret&scope=a-list-of-scope-values
Optional:	scope: Only SCOPE values that have been registered for the client will be granted by the OAuth server
