API Sample Request 4 SAML

[LeonVieira]

Good morning,

Hope you are doing well,

We are currently in the process of setting up the REST API to integrate with SAML, there is however very little documentation on this, does anyone have a example perhaps of how this should be setup, IE grant type and paramaters required as well as to where the request should be made, or do we just use the standard url for this method of authentication: https://{dns}/idpdev/connect/token?

Any assitance would be perfect

Kind regards

Leon

Hi @Leon Vieira ,

Thanks for the update.  Glad that you were able to get it working.

For what it is worth (and without knowing the type of application you are building), I would be cautious about using the Implicit Grant flow ...

https://oauth.net/2/grant-types/implicit/

If this is a public app, you should use Authorization Code with PKCE which will redirect the user to authenticate instead of having the app authenticate directly.  As well, I would not recommend the Resource Owner Password Credentials (a.k.a. Password) as it used a hard coded username and password.

Best wishes.
