ConnectionJSON, Hard coded "admin token" variable?

[rp781]

Hello, the application I'm working with with uses a single static token for all calls, create user, get user etc.. so no access tokens involved. I want to create a connection json where the other jsons reference the connection jsons hard coded token but with a variable.. I don't want to hard code this static admin token in all of the jsons. Is this a possibility? Thank you

Hi @rp781 ,

Yeah it should work. You can create a dummy connection JSON

{

"authentications": {

"acctAuth": {

"authType": "oauth2",

"url": "",

"httpMethod": "POST",

"httpParams": {

"username": "",

"password": "ds"

},

"tokenType": "Bearer",

"accessToken": "Your actual token"

}

}

}

In your provisioning JSONs or recon wherever you have authorization , user your token instead of variable

"Authorization": "Hard code your token"

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Amit, 

Thanks for the reply, but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I want to have the hard coded token exist ONLY in the connection json. Then the other jsons some how reference it with a variable. It is a security risk to have the hard coded token in all of the jsons.

Hi @rp781 ,

${access_token} can be used in subsequent call.

Store the static token in 

"accessToken": "Your actual token" (Connection Json)

In the subsequent call you can define "Authorization" as header and use ${access_token} to pass the value

I did Bearer ${access_token} and it worked 🙂 thank you.
