Hi all,

Currently, I only know basic authenticatona and OAuth with grant type authorization code and SAML.

Is there a way other than these two?

Regards,
Eric

Can you Please be more clear on your question?

Are you asking for all the authorizations related to ODATA?

We are required to use authentication other than Basic.

At first place, I thin OAuth is an option but after exploring, OAuth in SAP only supports grant type "Auth Code" and "SAML".

For "Auth Code", my scenario is integration and a tech user is used, while "Auth Code" needs an enduser.

For "SAML", OAuth function of client system doesn't support it.

So I am wondering if there are other ways.

If only Basic and OAuth are supportted, what I can think of is to create a new user for the OData service and the user would only be allowed to access the mentioned service.

Could you explain your question a bit more? Why do you need other authentication methods? Are you currently trying to implement a new authentication method and it is not working? If so which one are you trying to implement and what have you tried? If your just asking in general for Odata authentication with SAP it seems the documentation of SAP only goes back to basic and Oauth: https://help.sap.com/viewer/7436c3125dd5491f939689f18954b1e9/Cloud/en-US/199e8d4816024a59b5588c7d5b8...
