Authentication

Most connections will require some sort of authentication to occur to enable access to remote resources. Authentication configuration is performed through Integration > Authentication screen and then linked to configuration file using record Id. A number of authentication types are supported. Additional types will be added as required.

OAuth 2

This is probably the most common authentication type used with RESTful APIs. Multiple Grant Types are supported including Authorization Code. OAuth dance can be performed through this page by clicking on Generate link. SHaRpi will then keep track of access and refresh tokens (if available) and request new tokens as required.

Authorization Header

A simple header authentication method where access token is passed as a header with each request. This type allows users to specify header name, method (e.g. Bearer) and access code.
