Consuming GWaaS / HCI OData Provisioning on trial

[ChrisPaine]

Hi,

wondering if there is a simple solution here?

I'm trying to consume a service published on HCI OData Provisioning trial - my problem is how to authenticate to that service. It seems that since the HCP account is using SAP IdP (SAP ID Service) as the authentication method I need to use SAML to authenticate. Problem is the tool I am trying to consume the service only allows client certificates, basic or no authentication.

The tool I'm using to consume the service - HCI

So how do I configure my HCI OData Provisioning to allow basic authentication/certificate for a specific user from HCI.

I've tried to pass basic authentication headers to the HCI OData Provisioning service, but it won't accept them, I can change the IdP assigned in the HCP account, but it still wants to use SAML SSO.

If I use a proxy service that has the SSO cookie, I can access the HCI OData Provisioning service - but that's not even a short term solution. What I need is to be able to set up a service user in HCI OData Provisioning and set username/password, or extract/upload a certificate that I could use to authenticate to HCI OData Provisioning from HCI.

To me, it looks as if I can't, but surely I should be able to consume HCI OData provisioning from HCI... or not....

Thanks for some help here!

Cheers,

Chris

I moved this question to this forum as it wasn't getting any love in the HCP forums. - Anyone HCI fans want to jump in and help out?

Btw - I don't think creating a proxy application with zero authentication as per

is actually a solution - although I could create an app and set it up with basic auth - I think being able to consume HCI OData Provisioning service from HCI should be simpler than it appears.
