Authentication for external application

In this section we will demonstrate the use of the REST interfaces provided by SoftExpert Suite in two external applications. The goal is to present two ways to configure authentication, input/output parameters, and returns using the REST interfaces provided by SoftExpert Suite and described in this document.

For the first demonstration was used the SoapUI, which is a tool used for testing web service applications. In the image below is an example of how to configure the SoapUI using the RIS_RISK_INTERFACE.

When creating a REST project in SoapUI it is necessary to complete the following fields:

▪Application URL

▪Method = POST

▪Constants = described in the input parameters of the REST interfaces, exemplified in the image as being classname, classpth and cdprod

▪JSON sending data

▪Basic HTTP authentication:

oAuthorization = Basic

oUsername/Password = Valid users in SoftExpert Suite

oPre-emptive auth = Use Authenticate pre-emptively

The second example is using an AJAX request from JQuery in JavaScript, the image below presents an example of using a REST interface provided by SoftExpert Suite.
