Help in setting a POST request in SoapUI

Hello everyone,

Not a developer here, just a PM trying to be independent from the dev team in my company...as they take forever to reply.

I was able to set it in the past, but I didn't take a screenshot of the working configuration and I must have changed some settings, so it no longer works. This is what I have to import:

curl --location --request POST 'https://DOMAIN-NAME.COM/uaa/oauth/token' \

--header 'Authorization: Basic <BASE_64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS>' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \

--header 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <OCP-APIM-SUBSCRIPTION-KEY>' \

--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_delega' \

--data-urlencode 'clientId=<API-DEVELOPER-PROGRAMME-USERNAME>' \

--data-urlencode 'sfAccountId=<SALESFORCE-ACCOUNT-ID> \

--data-urlencode 'numbers= <number>'

 

 

 

Can you please show me how it is supposed to do? I don't know how set those "data-urlencode" and can't really remember what I did last time...yes, kinda shameful.

Thank you!

    Are you facing any issue when the request is send?

    Do you mean how to generate "BASE_64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"?

    You can use java.net.URLEncoder to encode values in URLencoding format

     

    java.net.URLEncoder.encode("Value", "UTF-8")

     

    Set POST request mediatype to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    Then in payload field enter

     

    yourkey1=${=java.net.URLEncoder.encode("yourvalue1", "UTF-8")}&yourkey2=${=java.net.URLEncoder.encode("yourvalue2", "UTF-8")}

     

    This way you can utilize SoapUI capability to dynamically alter values through injected Java / Groovy code. In this case java.net.URLEncoder will take care of encoding any values that you need to convert to URL encoded format.
