When using REST receiver to connect to 3rd party using POST command - unauthorised error

[#1]

Hi All,

When i'm making a connection to a REST receiver (api that supports rest) i'm sending a test message in the PI Mesmon Test tool to ensure it works. The message passes through the mapping just fine, but when it goes to POST to the REST receiver i get the error: "com.sap.aii.adapter.rest.ejb.common.exception.HttpCallException: HTTP POST call to
https://rest.receiver.address.com/rest/endpoint ... not successful. Unauthorized

I've been able to make the post from Postman, and i've configured my rest receiver adaptor as per postman settings but i'm still getting the unauthorised message:

Here is an example of postman and pi rest adapter & test tool settings/errors:

A quick response would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi George ,

Few observation looking at the screenshot.

• There is typo mistake for "Authorization" in header section in REST channel. 🙂
• You don't need to add this header , try removing this header and just define the authentication as Basic and provide credentials , Rest adapter should automatically add this header.

Thanks,

Manoj
