Bearer token support for WindowsClientWebDesignerConfig.AuthenticationMode

English Forum
1

Hello

We are using bearer token to authenticate APIs in WebReportDesignerController, however for WebDesignerHandlerController, bearer token option does not exist in WindowsClientWebDesignerConfig.AuthenticationMode. How can we use the same bearer token that we use for APIs in WebReportDesignerController, also in WebDesignerHandlerController APIs.

Regards

Philip

We’ll take a deeper look at this. Stay tuned, although it might take a couple of days to come back here.

Philip, a quick follow up on this.

Would it be sufficient to copy the Authorization header from the request for the DesignerLauncher? Or would you need a way to pass the header seperately?

Yes, copying the Authorization header from the API that start the Designer will be sufficient. I hope this header will be used in all further API calls from Designer.

Thanks & Regards

We’ll upload a new version that will have the required changes. Enable the new mode like so:

WindowsClientWebDesignerConfig.AuthenticationMode = WindowsClientWebDesignerAuthenticationModes.AuthorizationHeader;

If all tests pass, the new version will be available as latest prerelease service pack by tomorrow morning.
