Get authentication token details

DanielLim2

Hello

I'm currently trying to execute the instructions of the Authentication Service API document:

I'm stuck at the step "Get auth token details".

I use the software Postman to test the request.

I tried the type of authorization "Bearer Token" and fill the field "Token" with the token value that i got with the request HTTP for basic authentication using name and password

But I got this message of error "Invalid header. Verify the header"

Can someone help me please

Thank you

Hi @DanielLim2,

You shouldn't use Bearer Token in this scenario - please take a look at this Postman Collection for Anaplan, I think it will help you with whatever you try to achieve: https://www.postman.com/dlzaan/workspace/anaplan-flows/collection/20427818-e5e75c69-c9e1-4bb4-bbb9-47a6a47c9a44?action=share&creator=20427818

Hi @DanielLim2,

You are almost there - just add whitespace between "AnaplanAuthToken" and the actual value of the token, and remove quotes. So like this:

AnaplanAuthToken ABC123

That's why it's better to use variables, as you see in the library I linked - you have more reusability and avoid errors during copy&paste.

Hi,

You shouldn't be doing authentication via authentication tab but through headers. There your header would be

authorization: 'AnaplanAuthToken {your_token_value}'

Hi

Thank you for your answer.

I tried this too, but i got the same message

With 0 Params for Anthorization, whatever the field "No Auth", "Bearer Token", "Basic Auth", I got a message of error

Thank you for your help

Hi on the column left side your value should be authorization and in right hand side AnaplanAuthToken {token_value}
