RELATED IDEAS

REST API client service content type

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The RESTAPIClient service accepts only 'Application/JSON and Application/XML as valid values for Content-type. For our integration with Okta, Okta expects the content-type as 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. While this works fine with postman, it doesn't work with IBM B2Bi. We opened a case 'TS014613150' and our Okta admins confirmed that they cannot accept Application/JSON or Application/XML as content-Type values. Please help with use of application/x-www-form-urlencoded as a valid content-type value in IBM B2Bi.

What is your industry? Consumer Products
How will this idea be used?

This will help in making API calls with application that require the Content-Type others than Application/JSON or Application/XML

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap.

    We are currently planning to add OAuth support for our API client and server adapters to get away from basic authentication use cases. This would be a more modern and secure way to leverage APIs. OAuth support is a more strategic approach that would be a better option than adding a new API client content type.

    Thank you for bringing your ideas to us. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.
