Configure Outbound REST Message API

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 Mirza,

Can you please tell me what steps did you follow, as I also need to fetch the bearer token from a 3rd party URL and then reuse to send other data to the same URL using its bearer token.

I am stuck on how to use the x-www-form-urlencoded as content type in th eOutbound rest message

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

@mirza,

Hi Mirza,

Not sure...what is your question, basically my requirement is to post the server details to Azure per resource group.

I am trying to set-up connection with Azure portal so can you guide me the steps that i need to follow here.
