I’m using Salesforce developer account and trying to obtain OAuth access token using curl and it returns 500 Server Error giving the message specified in [1].
Used curl command is curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "X-PrettyPrint:1" -d "grant_type=password&client_id=<C_ID>&client_secret=<SECRET>&username=<UN>&password=<PW>" https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
What i conclude is, this happens because of mis-configuring Callback URL of OAuth app configurations. I cannot understand what would be intended value for that because i dont have any URL to redirect.
I have tried configuring https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success as the Callback URL value and had no luck.
What would be the use of Callback URL setting to https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/success or what is the correct way of getting access token using curl?
Thanks in advance.

Method 1
First you need to create a remote Application .
Setup –>Create –> App–>Connected Apps–>Fill The Necessary Details –> mention CallBackURL as https://ap1.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token ,Callback URL in salesforce is nothing but what Salesforce will callback with once the user authorizes access to his/her Salesforce account.
Provide callback url as https://ap1.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
After Saving the Application you’ll have the customerid and CustomerKey .
curl –form client_id=your customer key –form client_secret=your sceret key –form grant_type=password –form [email protected] –form password=your password+Security -k https://ap1.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
After Executing This Command
