OAuth 2.0 Authentication / OpenID for REST - Web service DONE
4

Dear WebCon Team,

we most urgently need the possibility to have further authentication methods using OAuth 2.0 / OpenID in the context of REST - Web Service. At the moment the limitation does us not allow to communicate with other systems in the way of microservices.
This extension would be a great increase of data communication.

Thanks a lot

Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I think this was already answered here and is intended for the next version:

When you need it now than you would have to to execute an anonymous request to fetch the access token and use it in your following requests. It's a bit cumbersome but it's possible.

Just search for a postman example.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your quick response. I will check, if I can manage it with the anonymous approach. It is a new topic I am working on, so I have still a lot to experience. For such a situation it would be great to have the requested functionality as standard.

Nevertheless, I will keep you updated if it works or not.

Best regards
Thomas
