How to load information from REST Service which is protected by Authentication Layer

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

I am an absolute newbie in Qlikview and I am stuck in my very first assignment. I would really appreciate if someone can help me out-

I need to load information from a Rest service which is protected by an authentication layer.

I can understand that first we would need to POST to the authentication layer url with the authentication details in the requestBody, but after that how can we store the session cookie (is there any getCookie() type methods as in JAVA) and use that cookie to do the final GET from the main REST service URL.

An example rest call where a cookie is passed will be great

I am using the QVRestconnector.exe to do this.

I get the data as below using Rest Connector:

1) Type the URL

2) Enter User Name

3) Enter Password

Click OK

and then click the button "Select" and follow the instructions.

OR Take a look at the below link:

REST CONNECTOR locate the Authorization token

Hope this helps...
