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.

Hi Mirza,

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