    Hey Behdad,

    So youre saying youre using the OAuth functionality for your token generation, right....so the token isnt returned in a response payload nor a response header...is that correct?

    If that is the case, someone else recently had the same issue and i think i remember HimanshuTayal trying to determine which internal object/property the token value was associated with.
    I can't remember if Himanshu sorted it out, but have a search in the soapui AND readyapi! forums for the answer.


    Have a look at the following link, and report back your progress

Hi 

To make it more clear let keep your lates post and here is my situation

I have a single test case with 2 REST requests in there:

1- The 1st REST request generates a response that includes the auth token.

2- The 2nd REST request needs the auth token generated by the first /previous rest service, so i don't know how to use the token in first api response in  second one as access token in authorization tab

in this case i try the property transfer between the two steps but can not manage to receive the token in second step (as access token for authorization)
