Hi,
I am trying to consume an oData service from sharepoint using SAP gateway.
Using Tutorials like http://blogs.perficient.com/microsoft/2012/09/consuming-odata-sources-in-sharepoint-2013-app-step-by-step/, I tried to consume an OData Source with SharePoint 2013. Without Authentication, no problem, but with an OData Source with Basic Authentication I’m searching a way to define/configure the authentication method inside the app.
The only way I could find was in the BDC Model (.etc file), where I find the ODataServiceAuthenticationMode.
<Property Name="ODataServiceUrl" Type="System.String">TOPSECRET</Property>
<Property Name="ODataServiceAuthenticationMode" Type="System.String">PassThrough</Property>
<Property Name="ODataFormat" Type="System.String">application/atom+xml</Property>
Regarding the std specs of BCS, I could use the value “Credentials” instead of “PassThrough” to use a basic authentication. Then I could define the ssoapplicationid of the Target Application inside the Secure Store Service. I ripped it from the wcf syntax, but as foreseen it didn’t work.
<Property Name="ODataServiceAuthenticationMode" Type="System.String">Credentials</Property>
<Property Name="SsoApplicationId" Type="System.String">TOPSECRETacc</Property>
Does anyone has a guide or documentation for the actual bdcm syntax/structure in SharePoint 2013 for modifying the xml? Or are there other options to define the basic authentication in this OData App? Is there a way to make life more simple by a different service configuration on SAP side?
Passing the credentials as http headers from postman (chrome extension) works out fine, but still I have no clue what to define in Sharepoint.
Does anybody of you have a solution or any hints on how to proceed here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alex
