External Applications feature - Confidential application

[bromanenko]

Hi All,

I have tried following instructions mentioned in Accessing UiPath resources using external applications documentation. But during testing in Postman the only response that I am getting from API call is:

I met the same issue. @loginerror Could you help take a look ?

Hi @bromanenko , If your external application is for Application scope, the body shouldn’t be like this. you should make it with x-www-form-urlencoded

@Donna_Zhang I tried that as well with similar results.
Did it work for you? can you please add all information if it did?

[Donna_Zhang]

Did you make sure that your external app scope is Application scope instead of the User scope ?

[bromanenko]

And reentered client secret and client id and it worked…(Could have sworn that I tried sending similar payload before posting this is the forum)
@Donna_Zhang Thanks for all of the help and guidance!
