REST- Form Data Authentication

[vivekrajan1]

Hi Team,

I need to integrate an application through REST protocol, But the application uses Form Data Authentication.

Like in Screenshot below

Once I hit this, it will give a Auth_token and I need to use the Auth_Token in the URL to fetch the User. Screenshot below. AuthToken will expire at some point in time.

How do I create a connection JSON for this? could you please provide a sample

• Add params in httpParams

{
  "authentications": {
    "userAuth": {
      "authType": "oauth2",
      "url": "https://<domain name>/api/v18.2/auth",
      "httpMethod": "POST",
      "httpParams": {
        "login": "<Username>",
        "password": "<Password>"
      },
      "httpHeaders": {
        "contentType": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
      },
      "httpContentType": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
      "expiryError": "ExpiredAuthenticationToken",
      "authError": [
        "InvalidAuthenticationToken",
        "AuthenticationFailed",
        "FAILURE",
        "INVALID_SESSION_ID"
      ],
      "timeOutError": "Read timed out",
      "errorPath": "errors.type",
      "maxRefreshTryCount": 5,
      "tokenResponsePath": "sessionId",
      "tokenType": "Bearer",
      "accessToken": "<access token>"
    }
  }
}

Hi @rushikeshvartak - Thank you for the sample ConnectionJson. 

How do I pass the Auth_token(accessToken) in the 'ImportAccountEntJSON' as a parameter in the URL.

For Ex:

URL: https://example.com/xxx/yyy/users?auth_token=(pass AuthToken here)

below is the CURL command exported from postman.

${access_token}

Im facing problem regarding Auth_Token, could you please help me identify the issue.

In ImportAccountEntJSON -> URL section, I am trying to pass auth_token but EIC always passes  hardcoded dummy value "abc123" in ${access_token}, like below

Actual URL - "url": "https://xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxx?auth_token=${access_token}&per_page=2&page=4"
EIC pass dummy value - "url": "https://xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxx?auth_token=abc123&per_page=2&page=4",

In Logs, im seeing, pullObjectsByRest - responseStatusCode ::401

in ConnectionJSON I tried below steps, but only 'Step 3' worked,

i.  This approach did not work
"tokenResponsePath": "auth_token",
"tokenType": "auth_token",
"accessToken": "abc123"

2. This approach did not work
"tokenResponsePath": "auth_token",
"tokenType": "",
"accessToken": "abc123"

3. This approach worked
"tokenResponsePath": "auth_token",
"tokenType": "",
"accessToken": "Copy Pasted actual AccessToken"

Could you please help me identify why EIC is not passing Auth_token?

I attached Connection Json and ImportAccountEntJson and screenshot from postman that generates auth_token

Add test connection param in connection json and validate also confirm id hardcoded token works
