    Hey ElvisATX,

    yeah i wouldn't expect your nonce or signature parm values to be static. I assumed you'd need a bit of groovy to extract (nonce) and generate (signature) values

Hi, Yes I already clicked on that tab but there is no option add the "Realm" key.  It only allows adding:

  • Access Token
  • Token Secret
  • Consumer Key
  • Comsumer Secret

 

Thanks

Hi ElvisATX,

I dont know whether this can help, but i am aware you could manually add in an Authorization header and hard code parameters labels and use property expansions to generate the values.
If you did this you wouldn't use the auth tab or the authorisation/authentication functionality, but the approach i'm suggesting would enable you to configure exactly the parms/parm values you have in your Authorization header. I've actually done this before to get around something similar so i know it works.

Nice one

    HI richie 

     

    Thanks for the suggestion.  This works but then I run into two problems:

     

    1) the oauth_nonce attribute needs to be updated each time

    2) the oath_signature needs to be recalculated via HMAC-SHA1 hash.

     

    I am able to generate the correct HTTP request via PostMan, copy/paste the Authorization section into the SoapUI as a manual value for the Authorization Header value.  This works but only once.  I have to go back to Soap UI and generate a new set of values each time!
