Client credentials grant type as authentication for REST connector

[Robbe_Cronos]

Hello,

We need to use client credentials grant in the REST connector to authenticate to multiple services on 2 authentication layers. 

Example: 

We log on to azure with client_ceredentials grant type to get an access token. We then use this access token to get another access token so we can retrieve the information we need.

We haven't found anything in the documentation of the REST connector about this and were wondering if this is even a feature.

Is it possible to work with this?

Kinds regards,

Robbe

This is a solution for only one layer of authentication. We want to know if there is a possibility to combat 2 layers of authentication (check example given in post).

Hello @Robbe_Cronos ,

We do support multiple calls. Please find the sample Connection JSON attached. Will update the document as well with the example.
