Configure Outbound REST Message API

mirza2 · ‎08-18-2017

Hi,

I have been stuck for a while to configure the HTTP method for Post using the Outbound REST Message.

Since the API will need me to send some information on the request body, such as: grant_type, resource, client_id, etc.

So, I made the configuration as below.

But when I tested it, it looks like the Azure endpoint cannot recognize the Content to get the parameter for the request body with this error:

"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"AADSTS90014: The request body must contain the following parameter: 'grant_type'.

I strongly believe this is because the problem on the Content-type, since I also got the same exact error when I am changing the Content-Type in another Content-type in Postman.

Just for the info, this API have been tested working correctly if I use the Postman standard content-type with form data.

Any suggestion or clue will much appreciated.

I think you just need to remove the curly brackets from your body and change the content-type to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

Example, using only code (no Outbound REST Message forms)

var restMessage = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

restMessage.setEndpoint('http://httpbin.org/post');

restMessage.setHttpMethod('post');

//restMessage.setMIDServer('midserverbyname');

restMessage.setRequestHeader('content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

restMessage.setRequestHeader('accept','application/json');



restMessage.setRequestBody('form1=value1&form2=value2');



var response = restMessage.execute();

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

var responseBody = response.haveError() ? response.getErrorMessage() : response.getBody();



if (httpStatus == '200'){

gs.info('Body: '+responseBody);



}else{

gs.info('HTTP Status: '+httpStatus);

gs.info('Error: '+responseBody);

}

Hi Renuka,

I simply modified the HTTP POST method as below.

Just note I put the variable substitute in the curly bracket.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Mirza, let me try with this.

Also, my requirement is to Send the server details [like org, legal entity details) per resource group back to Azure.

Since i am new using this REST, can you tell me which method would be good "POST" or "PUT" should i be using to send the details to the Azure per resource group?

Also, for testing connection do i need to set up the Bearer token as well or is it not required.

Thanks a lot in advance for your response.

Hi Renuka,

It should be depend on what API that Azure provides. I assume you're working with Azure Resource Manager, you can find out the list of available API in this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/, and choose the most suitable action that you need.

Hi Mirza,

I have made the changes as per your screenshot, but i still get only the status code as 200 and dont get any response.

Can you please guide me here.

Hi Renuka,

What REST API you're using? In this thread I were using the API to get the bearer token from Azure. And then, I can use the token to interact with other Azure APIs.
