[Ftpapi] HTTPAPI http_setAuth Problem

Hi All,

I am using REST, TLS, JSON, & OAUTH to do a 2 part process to send new hire data to our payroll processor.

The first step is to contact their token server passing client ID and client Secret to get a token that has to be passed in the 2^nd step. The client ID and client Secret are basically userid and password. I use http_setAuth(HTTP_AUTH_BASIC : %trim(clientID) : %trim(clientSecret)). This is working fine. I get back the token successfully.

My problem is in the 2^nd step. I use http_xproc( HTTP_POINT_ADDL_HEADER : %paddr(Additional_Security_Header) ) to add a header: “Authorization: Bearer authtoken” where authtoken is the token returned from step 1. While I am getting the additional header as desired, I’m also getting a basic authorization header in front of it as though I had called the http_setAuth() with the same parameters as in step 1.

I tried using http_persist_close(pComm) at the end of step 1, thinking that the connection is remaining open but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Is there something I need to do to close the connection at the end of step 1 or a way to suppress the “Authorization Basic: endcoded client credentials” header in step 2?

Thanks in advance.

CFI
