Hi,

Could you try to send a POST REST request to the specified URL with the following body:

grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=${LV_clientId}&client_secret=${LV_secret}

I also had to put following in the header, but I am not sure if this is the end point specific:

cache-control: no-cache, max-age=0
pragma: no-cache
accept: application/json

Leave authType empty.

As a result you should get a token.

Good luck

Unfortunately it did not work, but you have still helped me in showing me as to what variables I have to use for this to work:

By using just the URL, header and body variables in the HTTP-operations, it should indeed be possible to create a REST flow with OAuth2. I'll see if I can get it to work this way

Add your credentials in the body to authenticate

grant_type=password&client_id=${client_id}&client_secret=${client_secret}&username=${admin}&password=${password}

For me to Snow right Content-Type was application/x-www-form-urlencoded dont know if this is a more general setting.

thank you all for your help

It wasn't the complete solution, but you showed me the right direction

I managed to do it now with the following setup:

I used the Operation from Base/Library/Operations/HTTP Client/v2.0/Http Client Post

and then filled out the variables as follows (additional notes are in braces like this sentence):

url = url for getting the oauth token

authType = Basic

username = Client Identification (this username will then be used for the Basic encoding as set by the authType)

password = Client Secret (this password will then be used for the Basic encoding as set by the authType)

preemtiveAuth = true (for testing purposes, to ensure the call goes through)

trustAllRoots = true (again for testing purposes, to ensure the call goes through)

x509HostnameVerifier = allow_all (again for testing purposes, to ensure the call goes through)

headers = (nothing, leave this variable empty)

responseCharacterSet = UTF-8 (this is by default some ISO-8859 and will most likely not work like this, so setting this to UTF-8 is really important!)

body = grant_type=password&username=${ressource-owner-username}&password=${ressource-owner-password}    (here the "Ressource Owner Name" and the "Ressource Owner Password" are used as a variable within the entry for the body)

contentType = application/x-www-form-urlencoded

requestCharacterSet = UTF-8 (again, any other encoding will likely not work)

method = POST
