How to extract the access token from the 'Auth' tab and transfer it to the other requests in header?

I want to get the generated Access Token from the Auth tab and use it as a property for other tests. (Require to pass the access Tokens as the header for all the test steps). I want to avoid doing it...

    Hi sonya_m,

     

    Support Team has provided with the answer 🙂

     

    While using OAuth 2 flow, you need to select the checkbox of 'Use Authorization Header' as shown in the attached screenshot. Then, you don't need to add the token in the Headers tab Ex. Authorization: Bearer [Access Token].  After that, you can use the Auth Manager and select the respective OAuth 2 profile for your requests.

     

    Thank you,

    Jagruuti

Hi nmrao,

 

I tried automating it also, I was getting an error as shown in the 'Script failure error' attachment.  Also please find the below code snippet in the other attachment.

I tried using the below code, which I think was correct. Or can you explain me which code should be added so that I can automate the manually generated token process? or is this the application related issue? Because manually the token was getting created.

 

Also, I discussed this with one of the developer in our team, he suggests this might be a configuration issue at the SOAP UI end while doing automation. 

 

Regards,

Jagruuti

Hi Jagruuti,

Im getting a 404 when i try downloading the .png files you attached.

Can you please either reattach or embed the details directly into your post instead?

Also. Just so we're nice and clear. You have your OAuth v2.0 setup correctly via the Auth tab on your resource or method and you want to extract the token value from this?

Nice one,

Rich
