Setting up authentication for OData

Posted on Jun 22, 2020 at 08:37 AM 282 Views

Hi,

I have created a custom OData in SAP ByDesign but unfortunately upon accessing the link via Google Chrome, it says unauthorized login credentials. I am using the account that I have created in the Communication Scenarios for web services. Is that the right account that needs to be used? If not, where can I create an account to access the OData that I have created. Appreciate all the help.

Thanks and Regards,

JM Angeles

    Dear JM Angeles,

    Please refer the below blog for more information

    https://blogs.sap.com/2019/09/26/sap-business-bydesign-an-api-overview/

    You can use any authentication method:

    • Basic authentication (user/password)
    • Certificate (user logon certificate)
    • OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer authentication
    • SAML 2.0 (Identification by user ID or e-mail address; specific endpoint for single sign-on: <sso-hostname>/sap/byd/odata-sso/…)

    Also please refer help documentation - https://help.sap.com/viewer/7c182c462ec043cba338a30b952068c7/1811/en-US/2bccd772722d1014b742a3a0c4b116d0.html

    Regards

    Dear JM Angeles,

    The username and password, Which you given in communication scenario is for integration scenarios. For Accessing the Custom Odata Service in a web browser, you have to use your own credentials, the one which you have used to login to the Business ByDesign System.

    Regards,

    Palani.

    Hi Angeles,

    For Integration with External business applications, you have to create a communication scenario and generate communication user for the same.This communication user will be used for authentication. Tools like Google Chrome and Post Man are not business applications. So, business user is enough in this case.
