This parameter allows you to define parameters for
authentication requests sent via HTTP REST API.
You can specify any
number of RestAuthRequestDef parameters, one for each
parameter sent to the server. The general format is:
RestAuthRequestDef authtparam,attributename[,type[,formatted]]
authparam is the REST parameter nameattributename defines the value for authparam.
The value may be fetched from the current request, be a value that is
subject to special formatting, or a literal valuetype consists of the word “literal” or the word
“request”. If type is empty or “request”, the value is fetched from
the current request. If type is "literal", it is added to the HTTP
request as it is.formatted indicates that the value specified with
attributename is to be subject to special character
processing before being used.
Tip
The type and
formatted fields are optional. If they are not specified,
type defaults to "request" and formatted defaults to not
enabled.
