Rest API Call - 407 Authentication required

SHAHRULRIZALSAI — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 07:20:00 GMT

Hi Experts,

I had invoked restful API hosting in azure from Object and received below error.

Internal : Unexpected error Error during Web API HTTP Request
HTTP Status Code: 407
HTTP Response Content: <HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>

This is because, form our network it has to go through proxy authentication to access external URI.
If i am browse to any external website from resource PC, then i am able to proceed run the object and get the response content. otherwise it will return 407 error.

This issue because of calling an external URI require a proxy authentication. How to call a rest API with enter the proxy authentication?

The WebAPI feature of Blue Prism does not support proxy authentication. If the is a requirement there is a REST web service VBO available on the Digital Exchange that I believe supports this. If not, the alternative would be to use a code stage and invoke the .Net HttpWebClient object directly. With that, you can definitely set up proxy authentication.

Hi Shah,

Were you able to handle the proxy authentication via code stage?

Hi Aravindra,
Yes i had use it in code stage.
I am using below in code stage

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com");

IWebProxy proxy = request.Proxy;
string URI = string.Empty;
if (proxy != null)
{
URI = proxy.GetProxy(request.RequestUri).AbsoluteUri;

}

WebProxy myProxy = new WebProxy();
Uri newUri = new Uri(URI);
myProxy.Address = newUri;
myProxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password,"MyDomain");
request.Proxy = myProxy;
var client = new HttpClient();
var uri = "http://www.google.com";
var response = client.GetAsync(uri);
