Postman authentication issues

Posted by DanoW on in General discussion

 I am trying Postman to get an access token. I got 404 error. Here is what I am doing. 

I am using this url - https://api.icims.com/v1/oauth/token

I tried using Parameters, which was audience, grant_type, client_id and client_secret, then when that did not work I tried them in form_urlencode and that did not work either. I ma missing something or script I need to get the token in Postman

I know this is an old post, but what I did was this:

  1. create iCims environment
    1. create username variable -> enter the username I use into the variable
    2. create password variable -> enter the password into the variable
  2. create iCims collection
    1. at collection level, set authorization to Basid Auth
    2. set Username to {{username}} token
    3. set Password to {{password}} token
  3. When creating endpoint in the iCims Collection, make sure they inherit from the parent.

These step should make Postman create the Basic Auth header it needs to call the API.  Also, make sure the machine from which you are making postman calls is white listed.
