SAP CPI integration with a defined parameter in the header

[ChadiMohamed]

Dears,

we are integration with the SAP CX using CPI, the other system that is sending the POST request can not using Basic Authentication or Certificate based one, what the system can do is send a signature in the header as key/value pair (meaning they add in the header a key : x-name-signature, and the value : SOME_SECRET_VALUE) a token authentication, what are the possible way of receiving the inbound POST requests successfully, because all the requests are returned with a response of 401, unauthorized,

we are very thankful for any help.

Hello Chadi,

From SAP CPI perspective below are the only few options to make authentication

1) Oauth Authentication.

2) Cetificate Based Authentication.

3) Basic User Authentication.
