I appreciate you reaching out to the Saviynt forums.

Based on our validation of the ConnectionJSON, I discovered the following error.
In Java, strings are enclosed in double quotes ("). In the old code, the string "client_id" had a value of "client_secret" which is an invalid value. In the new code, the string "client_id" has a value of "client_id" which is correct. The change was necessary as the old code would have resulted in an error.

This was a change on codeline 41.attaching a snapshot for your reference 

Please find attached the new code for your reference.

Sorry that was my mistake during c/p. Of course, I didn't put real values on forum, but in Saviynt EIC configuration, that is populated with correct data. 

I tested through Postman, and i get token, but on Saviynt i get an error as I described.

Did you try to validate you JSON? You can use: https://jsonlint.com/ to validate you JSON.

I know you didn't copy paste exact json(to remove sensitive data) so not sure if exact same format is used in connection or not. But I can see format shared here is looks good I don't see any format issue.

I would suggest use above site to validate your connection JSON to see if there is any format issue.

Hey, yeah i tried to validate my JSON, and it looks fine. I also tried to c/p exact example from documentation and it still fails with the same error.

Could some other JSON from config cause problems during save and test? I have also JSON's for ImportAccount and CreateAccount?

The other JSON's defined can also cause the error. The best way to find out would be to remove all your json's and then add them 1 by 1 using Save & Test option.

Sorry, I accidentally press "Accept as solution".

I tried to delete all other JSON in Connection, but still no luck. Error is the same.

Here is a screenshot from Postman

I found the problem. I run it through whitespace removal tool (Remove Extra Spaces Online: Whitespace and Tab (codebeautify.org)), now it is working.
