I’m trying to set up an event action to call a REST end point that is secured with an API key. The event action works correctly when I have the Authentication method set to none, but when I secure my end point and change the Authentication method to Bearer the application message fails. I’ve tried entering an API key of ”abc123”, when I do that the application fails with this message:

Failure while obtaining result: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2 Caused by: commonj.work.WorkException: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2 Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2

When I try with an API key of “Bearer abc123” it fails with this message:

Failure while obtaining result: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -6 Caused by: commonj.work.WorkException: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -6 Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -6

So I think there is something I’m missing in the API key but I have no idea what it is, has anyone been able to set this up successfully?

Did you get any response on this or a solution?

I have the same issue when using a Basic Authentication.

No, I haven’t heard anything, my only solution was to use no authentication. Since I wrote the REST endpoint I try to validate the request based on what is in the body, definitely not ideal.
