Hi,

 

I was trying to authenticate rest api call with Bearer token. It gets successful via Curl or from Swagger UI, however when I call it from from pentaho rest client, it returns:- {"error":"unauthorized","error_description":"Full authentication is required to access this resource"}.

 

Any idea if PDI 8.3 supports REST authentication Bearer method? I was reading product document at https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/8.3/Developer_center/REST_API_Reference and found that The Pentaho Server supports Basic Authentication as defined in RFC 2617.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

R

I have certainly used a bearer token in PDI before (for typeform API) so I know it does work

 

I used a Data Grid step to inject it into the REST step but it can be done several different ways
