This is great! And you also got it working from Tiggr?

Hi Max,

I see that Tiggr has a 'Security Context' drop-down in 'REST Service Properties', but the only current option is 'Do not use security context'. I'm not seeing any place to define a context so that it will show up in the list, and this thread was the only mention of oAuth on the support forum. Will the oAuth service/component you mention here be the way we configure authentication in Tiggr?

Thanks,

You first need to create a security service (xAuth), then it will appear in the REST Service Security Context option. Just note that there is no out-of-the-box support for oAuth yet (only for xAuth). We are working on a component that would support oAuth. Right now it can be achieved with JavaScript.

Thanks for the quick response!

So, how does the JavaScript approach effect service input/output mappings?

[maxkatz]

You authenticate from JavaScript, you get a token. Save the token and use it in other services (with mapping) as usual.
