> Hi, We are integrating webservice connector in IDN. The webservice application follows below authentication process- 1- Provide the username and password and hit the url which will return the SessionId in response 2- Use this sessionId to invoke other operations. Below is the config we have done in Identity Now- 1- Authentication type- No/CustomAuthentication 2- Custom Authentication Operation has below config- 3- For other operation, like Test Connect…

Are you able to test your current authentication configuration in something like postman?

If so can you provide the specifics of the response from the call?

The HTTP response code, and the general shape of the response would be helpful.

I look forward to your response,

Thank you.
