Hi,

We are using microservices architecture in our enterprise and all data related tasks are performed using rest APIs.

These Rest API are using OAuth 2.0 for authentication purpose and we require a new JWT token for each request.

Can we generate new token in Appian Open API connected service for each request (as token is valid for certain period) to implement client credential or authorization code flows?

    Depending on your concrete setup, the connected system can do that for you automatically.

    Thanks Stefan,

    I was exploring Open API connected system and i provided swagger documentation and base address for API it is asking value for Authorization header during design but in our case we need to generate value for authorization header each time when request made to api methods based on sign-in user. 

    Is there any implementation documentation available in Appian for this type of scenario. In our case Rest API will always require a Bearer token for authentication and authentication provider will generate token based on the logged in user.
