How to Automatically Update Basic Authentication Credentials for Web Service Connector Without Token Endpoint

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding basic web service connections that use Basic Authentication (when the target system does not provide an endpoint to generate tokens).

Currently, we need to manually hardcode the username and password into a variable inside the source code. This becomes inconvenient because every time the password changes, we must update the code manually.

Is there a way to configure a rule or mechanism in SailPoint so that whenever the password is changed in the web console, it automatically encodes and sets the username and password in the variable? This way, we would not need to manually update the source code every time the password changes.

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Hi @henriqueoliveiraIAM

As per my knowledge

There is no built-in rule or automation in SailPoint ISC to automatically update Basic Authentication credentials in your web service source configuration when a password changes. You must still manually update the encoded credentials in your source setup every time the password changes—there is no out-of-the-box way to automate this.
