Authentication
There are five options to authenticate a service.
• None
The endpoint does not require any authentication.
The endpoint does not require any authentication.
• Basic
The endpoint requires username and password for authentication.
The endpoint requires username and password for authentication.
• Bearer Token
For Bearer type authentication, enter the bearer token. You will get the bearer token from your service provider.
For Bearer type authentication, enter the bearer token. You will get the bearer token from your service provider.
• OAuth 2.0
The endpoint requires an access token to access the services securely by using OAuth 2.0 Authentication.
The endpoint requires an access token to access the services securely by using OAuth 2.0 Authentication.
• Call Authentication Endpoint
Select the endpoint to call to authenticate the user.
Select the endpoint to call to authenticate the user.
OAuth 2. 0 authentication properties
Access Token Action: Whether to generate a new token or use an existing one.
Select a relevant option from below fields:
• Use Existing Access Token: This action allows you to use the existing token. Refer to the below table:
Options | Description |
|---|---|
Access Token Expiry Action | Action to be taken if the access token is expired. The available options are: • Do not refresh • Refresh with client credentials • Refresh with password credentials |
Access Token | Specifies security token which grants access to the given REST endpoint in OAuth 2.0 |
Access Token URL | The endpoint which is called to generate an access token in exchange of the authentication code. |
Client ID | This is sometimes referred to as the consumer key. |
Client Secret | This is sometimes referred to as the consumer secret. |
Username | User name for authentication. |
Password | Password for authentication. |
Security Token | This token is provided by the Service provider. If not provided, it is already appended to the password. This is an optional field. |
• Generate Access Token Now: This action allows you to generate the new token. Refer to the below table:
Options | Description |
|---|---|
Grant Type | Refers to the way an application gets an access token. The available options are: • Authentication Code • Authentication Code with PKCE • Client Credentials • Password Credentials |
Access Token URL | The endpoint which is called to generate an access token in exchange of the authentication code. |
Client ID | This is sometimes referred to as the consumer key. |
Client Secret | This is sometimes referred to as the consumer secret. |
Redirect URL | Configure the application to include the given redirected URL: {server}/v1/integ/services/oauth2/actions/generate-tokens |
Authentication URL | This endpoint is called to generate the authentication code. |
Scope | Specifies the multiple values with the spaces between them. |
Resource | A URL that indicates resource/target services where the token is intended to be used. |
Audience | A URL that indicates target audiences/services where the token is intended to be used. |
Code Challenge Method | This is an algorithm used for code challenge. |
Authorize button | Click to generate the access token. |
Get Tokens button | Calls the server which in return calls the Access Token URL to get the access token and may request a token. |
Username | User name for authentication. |
Password | Password for authentication. |
Access Token | Specifies security token which grants access to the given REST endpoint in OAuth 2.0 |
Refresh Token | This is used to get new access token. This is an optional field. |
• Generate Access Token at Runtime: This action allows you to generate the new token at runtime. Refer to the below table:
Options | Description |
|---|---|
Grant Type | Refers to the way an application gets an access token. The available options are: • Client Credentials • Password Credentials |
Access Token URL | The endpoint which is called to generate an access token in exchange of the authentication code. |
Client ID | This is sometimes referred to as the consumer key. |
Client Secret | This is sometimes referred to as the consumer secret. |
Scope | Specifies the multiple values with the spaces between them. |
Audience | A URL that indicates target audiences/services where the token is intended to be used. |
Resource | A URL that indicates resource/target services where the token is intended to be used. |
Username | User name for authentication. |
Password | Password for authentication. |
Retry Strategy
The primary purpose of defining retry parameters is when an API is rate-limited, whereby the API only permits a certain number of calls to be made in a given time period.
Retry is controlled by these parameters:
• Number of retries
The maximum number of times that an API is called if it returns a failure status.
The maximum number of times that an API is called if it returns a failure status.
• Initial delay
The initial time interval that the process waits before retrying the API call.
The initial time interval that the process waits before retrying the API call.
• Delay multiplier
A decimal value that is multiplied by the delay value to extend the delay after each failing call. By default, this is set to 1.0, which means that the delay between each call is the same.
