Automating the process to get access token
I am working on a soap automation project on which I need access token. We have to click on "Auth" tab 2. Click on "Get Access Token" 3. Click on "Get Access Token" again 4. Wait for SoapUI ...
Forum Discussion
If you have separate /token for oauth2, then you are able to create a scripts to dynamically get access_token.
FYI
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def data = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response) // get response of token
// set access token
def authProfileName = "LoginToken"
def project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project
def profile = project.getOAuth2ProfileContainer()
if (! (authProfileName in profile.getOAuth2ProfileList().name)) {
profile.addNewOAuth2Profile(authProfileName) // add new oauth2
}
def auth = profile.getProfileByName(authProfileName)
auth.setAccessToken(data.access_token) // set token
project.setAuthProfile(authProfileName) // applied in project level
Then you can select "LoginToken" for your request in test step or changed it in Auth manager

- Thanks Aaron. But it opens a web login page in soapui. I need to provide the credentials. Right now I am providing manually. I tried to automate using js but it didn't work. Do you have any other workarounds for this?
Looks like you need to get token from web page.
So you are able to create a common test case with http request to simulate web page action to capture required login information.
Then using above-mentioned scripts to create an auth profile and each REST step to reference it.
If you have direct method or API (i.e. /token) to retrieve access token with credential, then no need to capture login credential like web page.
Not sure which type of authentication you use?

- Hi, I am making a rest call to authorization server which redirects to the Web login page. We need to provide the credentials and once the login is successful, we get the actress tokens.
