Hi,

I am testing an integration with REST Sender. The integration will use OAuth 2.0 Client Credential authentication and works fine when I test with Postman.

However when I perform the same via the IFS REST Sender am receiving 401 errors (for auth). This could be a configuration related mistake on my end and want to know if any one has used the REST Sender with OAuth 2.0 Client Credential?

Regards,

Hi Artha,

 

I also had troubles with RSET sender provided authentication types but you can always add the http headers from plsql code. It works handy and what I usually do is copy the http headers from postman and add in the code

below example is to clickatell SMS REST api.

plsql_rest_sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint(rest_service_ => 'SMS',

                                         xml_ => bxml_,

                                         callback_func_ => 'P_L_S_Q_L_Rest_Test_API.REST_callback_Test',

                                         http_method_ => 'POST',

                                         http_req_headers_ =>'Content-Type: application/xml,Accept: application/xml,Authorization: YOURAPIKEY');
 

Complete example can be found in https://dsj23.me/2020/04/06/clickatell-sms-integration-with-ifs/

 

Hope it helps!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The issue was not with the headers as I initially thought. The headers can be defined on the sender via GUI and also via the PLSQL access providers as you mentioned.

In this case, I found that the issue was with the fetching of the authentication token. Had to change the Rest Sender to include scopes.

Is it possible to have an example of using POSTMAN to obtain a Token maybe a simple step by step. I’m trying to consume a projection and I can view the projection in a web browser but trying to use POSTMAN I’ve not been able to get past the Token.

Not sure what the callback URL should be I can only assume I’ve been provided the correct Auth URL and Access Token URL but I don’t know that either for sure. If you been able to gain a Token and could share, I’m sure others have had the same issue.

Thanks
