There is an external service (lets say "https://external-service.com/service") which is secured by OAuth2. I have client ID (Lets say "123_my_client_id"), Secret ID ("324_mysecret") and the access token URL ( lets say "https://access-token.com/access-token") which returns me the token.
I want to access this service with my Mule 4 Http Request. I followed this https://docs.mulesoft.com/connectors/http/http-authentication#oauth2-client-credentials, but couldn't find any workable solution.
This can be done in Mule 3.9. but still struggling to set up this http request configuration for Mule 4. Can anyone please help to setup this request config .
In order to migrate the request authentication to Mule 4,the config now belongs in the http:request-connection component and the HTTP authentication configuration must be placed within an http:authentication component. This applies to all authentication types supported: basic, digest, NTLM and OAuth2.
From the example in the link provided:
<http:request-config name="HTTP_Request_Configuration"
host="some.api.com" port="80" basePath="/api/1.0">
<oauth:client-credentials-grant-type
clientId="your_client_id" clientSecret="your_client_secret"
tokenUrl="http://some.api.com/api/1.0/oauth/token"
scopes="access_user_details, read_user_files">
</oauth:client-credentials-grant-type>
</http:request-config>
Changes to something like:
<http:request-config name="HTTP_Request_Configuration">
<http:request-connection host="some.api.com" port="80">
<http:authentication>
<oauth:client-credentials-grant-type
clientId="your_client_id" clientSecret="your_client_secret"
tokenUrl="http://some.api.com/api/1.0/oauth/token" scopes="access_user_details, read_user_files" />
</http:authentication>
</http:request-connection>
</http:request-config>
Studio may complain about the oauth element, but it should start up fine. Just ignore it.
