Maximo Open Forum

Hello,

I was trying to retrieve a token from an external system using an Automation Script with Action Launch Point, but all I'm getting is 400 bad request.

Below is the code in jython that I was using. Maximo is 7.6.1.3.

Could you please help me understand what I was doing wrong?

Using the same data I'm able to retrieve the token using Postman.

from org.apache.http import HttpEntity, HttpResponse, HttpStatus, NameValuePair
from org.apache.http.client import HttpClient, methods
from org.apache.http.client.entity import UrlEncodedFormEntity
from org.apache.http.client.methods import HttpPost
from org.apache.http.impl.client import HttpClientBuilder
from org.apache.http.message import BasicNameValuePair
from org.apache.commons.codec.binary import Base64
from java.util import ArrayList
from java.lang import String

# client_id, client_secret, and scope obtained during OAuth2 registration
client_id = 'my-client-id'
client_secret = 'my-client-secret'
scope = 'my-scope'

# OAuth2 Token Endpoint
token_url = 'my-token-url'

# Create a base64 encoded string for client_id and client_secret
client_credentials = client_id + ":" + client_secret
encoded_credentials = String(Base64.encodeBase64(String.getBytes(client_credentials, 'ISO-8859-1')), "UTF-8")

# Payload for requesting OAuth2 token
data = ArrayList()
data.add(BasicNameValuePair("grant_type", "client_credentials"))
data.add(BasicNameValuePair("scope", scope))

try:
    post = HttpPost(token_url)
    post.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded_credentials)
    post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
    post.setEntity(UrlEncodedFormEntity(data))

    client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build()
    response = client.execute(post)
    
    if response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK:
        entity = response.getEntity()
        if entity is not None:
            content = entity.getContent()
            # Parse the JSON response to get the access token
            access_token = content.read()
            print("Access Token:", access_token)
    else:
        print("Failed to retrieve token:", response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode())

except Exception as e:
    print("Error:", e)

Thank you!
