If the Values of "Client_ID", "Client_Secret" has special characters then you have convert them to URLEncoded format first and then send the Request, else you will be getting "400 Bad Request" with Message "InValid error"

How to Convert to URLEncoded?
You can use below free site for converting to URLEncoded format

Hello Pavan,

Thank you for this interesting article.

I would like to know please, after having buffered the token, how can we insert it (automatically) in the main webservice (the webservice that uses this token to authenticate).

Thank you in advance for your answer

Hi Bilel,

You can create the module attribute of the Authorization header in the main web service request and in the test case of the main web service request you can pass the buffer value so that it takes the buffer token in it.

Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan and All,

I was able to Buffer the response value (Token) and created Module Attribute to store the token, however I'm not able to pass the buffer value as a header to another request. Can you please share best practice to pass buffer value as a header attribute? 

Thanks,

Diyor
