Issue with custom REST API

[aundreb]

Hello,

I have an issue with my custom REST API which will be used to import users.

The connection json works but doesn't seem to be passing the access_token from the response to the saviynt ${access_token} token variable to be used in the importjson. JSON files below.

ConnectionJSON(Client specific data scrubbed):

{
"authentications": {
"userAuth": {
"authType": "oauth2",
"url":"",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpParams": {
"client_id": "",
"client_secret": "",
"username": "",
"company": "",
"password": "",
"grant_type": "password"
},
"httpHeaders": {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
},
"httpContentType": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"expiryError": "ExpiredAuthenticationToken",
"authError": [
"USER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED",
"PARTNER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED",
"AuthenticationFailed"
],
"errorPath": "errorCode",
"maxRefreshTryCount": 5,
"tokenResponsePath": "AuthenticationResult.AccessToken",
"retryFailureStatusCode": [
401
]
}
}
}

UserimportJSON:

{
"connection": "userAuth",
"url": "<API URL>",

Can you share screenshot of  working connection post from postman

[aundreb]

Here is the connection post from postman

Here’s the token:

and here is the Get that would be used in the importuserjson

Thanks Rushikesh. How does Saviynt handle the access token not being known? As I see that you've put accessToken: "Bearer idk" . Basically looking for saviynt to input the access token from the tokenresponsepath every time to the accessToken variable.

Thanks,

Aundre

Specify the access token if its already available, else specify a dummy value or leave it blank. This value may change after the token refresh.
