Hi ,You can create an OAuth Application for Liferay DXP(client) in Liferay DXP(Server) and use the client id and client secret for access authorization from Liferay DXP(Server).
You can refer below link

Hi Mohammed Yasin, I want to do an authentication against Liferay DXP (Client) using oAUTH , but what that document says, first I need to login to Liferay DXP (Client) with userid&pwd and then get token, this is not what I am looking.

You can try Client Credential flow instead of Authorization Code flow where you don't need to login , you can directly get access token with client id and client secret and use the service

Thanks Mohammed Yasin for your quick response, may be I am not presenting my question properly, let me try to clear here, I configured one liferay dxp as server and another DXP instance as Client, so using oauth I want to authenticate to Client instance . ex: I have Liferay dxp (Server) url is https://abcliferayserver.com in this server I created oauth application for Liferay dxp(Client) url is https://xyzliferayclient.com. If I hit the client url from browser then how can a user authenticate ? can authenticate as user using oAuth?
