Hi everybody,

My customer wishing to authenticate against a data center REST API end-point with OAuth2.0. Ideally it would like to use the mid server to OAuth authenticate and transfert REST messages to the end point.

In the Outbound Rest API Call documentation, it sounds like it's supported to authenticate against such a resource via the mid server at it says : "OAuth 2.0 can be used only with messages that are not configured to use a MID Server. You cannot send OAuth 2.0 authenticated messages through a MID Server"

However, the IH REST Step doesn't look to have such limitation as we can user connexion & credentials aliases to manage the method of authentication.

Hence I'm searching a clear message on what is possible to do or not ?

In case it's not possible to make OAuth authenticated REST call via mid-server, what should be the other elegant alternative ?

Thanks for you help.

Hi,

For sure oAuth not works with MID Server. BUt need to check if something is changed in Flow designer REST Step but again principal remains the same.

Thanks,
Ashtosh
