OAuth 2.0: Client Credentials Grant with JSON data instead of form encoded?

I am trying to setup a connected system to an API provided by another client.  They're using OAuth 2.0, but they're expecting the client_id and client_secret in a JSON format, rather than the x-www-form-urlencoded which Appian is sending.  Is there a way to change this configuration somewhere?

    AFAIK that is not possible. It is really interesting to see how many variants of oAuth there are. What a pain !?!? I suggest to contact Appian.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I was hoping there was some option hidden in a menu or something, but it doesn't seem to be the case.  I think we can get the vendor to work with it, but it would have been nice if we had the option.

    I agree. I have a similar problem at a client that also has his special taste of oAuth2 authentication. I think this is the tradeoff that we sometimes have to pay for the simplicity of low-code.
