Testing REST API with SoapUI - Emmanuel Katto Uganda
Hello SmartBear community, I am Emmanuel Katto.
I'm currently using SoapUI to test a RESTful API that requires authentication and authorization. I've successfully set up the SoapUI project and can make requests to the API, but I'm having trouble handling the authentication and authorization aspects.
Specifically, I'm trying to implement OAuth 2.0 bearer token authentication, where the client app sends a request to the authorization server to obtain an access token, and then includes that token in the Authorization header of subsequent requests to the API.
I've tried setting up the OAuth 2.0 configuration in SoapUI, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Are there any best practices or examples that I can follow? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Emmanuel
To successfully implement OAuth 2.0 in SoapUI, ensure you have the below steps covered.
First, configure your OAuth 2.0 profile, then obtain an access token, and finally, include this token in your requests.
