The file that is linked below includes two different examples of workflow configurations that use the REST Server agent:

  • WFL_no_ssl is setup to receive REST requests from any clients without the need for any certificate verifications on either end. Debug events are generated to display the responses from the server. No authentication is used.
  • WFL_1-way_ssl is setup to receive REST requests from clients and to respond to the client with the server certificate, by way of the server keystore. Debug events are generated to display the responses from the server. No authentication is used.
  • WFL_1-way_ssl_OAuth2 is setup to receive REST requests from clients and to respond to the client with the server certificate, by way of the server keystore. Debug events are generated to display the responses from the server. OAuth 2.0 is used for authentication.
  • WFL_2-way_ssl  is setup to receive REST requests from clients and to respond to the client with the server certificate. The REST Server will also request for verification of the client certification using a truststore stored on the server itself. Debug events are generated to display the responses from the server. No authentication is used.
  • WFL_2-way_ssl_OAuth2 is setup to receive REST requests from clients and to respond to the client with the server certificate. The REST Server will also request for verification of the client certification using a truststore stored on the server itself. Debug events are generated to display the responses from the server. OAuth 2.0 is used for authentication.

Note!

cURL commands, third party rest client applications (e.g. Postman) or even 's own REST Client agent can be utilized to send REST requests to the REST Server agent.

Example cURL

Example for GET

  1. no SSL

    curl "http://localhost:8089/abc"

  2. with SSL

    curl "https://localhost:8089/abc" --insecure

Example for POST

  1. Including content body

    curl -d "example content body" "http://localhost:8089/abc"
  2. With Authorization header field

  • Simple

    Basic
    curl -u myuser:mypw "https://localhost:8089/abc" --insecure
    OAuth 2.0
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer
