Hello,

Iโ€™m trying to build some ONE Desktop plans and workflows to integrate RDM with an application which only accepts SOAP calls.

I managed to do a 2 step approach - a SOAP call to get a token using username/pwd, then another SOAP call to do the actual thing using the token (insert some data into that system).

I was hoping to have instead, the pwd encrypted in the runtime config file, so I tried setting up a connection like so:

I tried to set up the connection in server connection:

Where the SecurityProvider endpoint is where I get the token, andย ComponentExecutor endpoint is where I connect to do the thing I actually want to do.

ย 

But when I try to use this connection in the SOAP call step, it tells me:
ย 

ย 

So it only accepts Basic auth.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Do I have any other options?

We use Azure Keyvault - Is there some way of connecting to keyvault to retrieve the secret every time we run this component?

So a connection to keyvault, with a query to find this specific secret? Then feed it into the call to ask for the token.
