REST message and API Key credential

[PhoenixMing0912]

Hi experts,

In REST message, I can choose basic auth and OAuth as credential way.

In IntegrationHub, there are many other credentials like API Key credential.

I am just wonder if I can use API Key credential in REST message, if I cannot use it on UI, using in script is also accepted.

Please note, using "credential API Key" in IntegrationHub is a must because in that way API Key won't be seen by others.

What is your question?

You can use many ways to pass authentication details.  

Scripted way: https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_RMV2-setAuthenticationProfile_S_S

I saw a method "setAuthenticationProfile", but the sample is basic or oauth2, do you have a sample or document for API Key authentication?

[Jace Benson]

I'm not sure I follow entirely.   But it sounds like you need to pass may a get parameter, or a custom header that has the auth details.

In this case you are kind of in a bind.  from what it looks like you will have to show the auth details.  You can however store this crediental in a sys_property type of password and it wont be readable by anyone looking at the code.

`gs.getProperty('my.password.property')` will return the unencrpyted value.

Have you followed the Integration Hub Tutorial:

Yes you may use API Key too ... and yes you may store as Jace is suggesting for re-usability ..

Its just one way of doing it ... maybe you can use OAuth if possible
