Has anyone initially setup Dell Boomi

[Jim_Clarke]

Hello Community,

I'm trying to help a team manage a file drop process for leads from a database, has anyone configured Dell Boomi that might be able to answer a question or two?

I've worked through the blog posted but it's missing a few config details for authenticating I wanted to ask someone who might have succeeded in getting the token stored for follow-on methods.

I used this article to get started, it would appear though I'm getting stuck with a 403 at the moment.

The connection spec print screen:

Hi Jim

Can you show us

- the jSON response profile - mine looks like this​

- the full URL of the HTTP connector call - mine looks like this ​

- the operation looks like this​

     top line that's cut off is... "identity/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id="

looks like you have the right replacement variables set up... whats the exact error?

What should the HTTP Client Connection Settings screen look like? I'm having the same issue. What would the Authentication Type be?

[Jim_Clarke]

John I think you might be onto something, I'm not seeing a URL constructed on the connector when a ran the test.
Here's that I had

Which is strange since the failure occurred on the next process step, so I was stuck thinking the profile was wrong.

Here's the pic of profile:

Here is the Operation

and top line:

/identity/oAuth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=

I noticed in your blog you didn't have the ending slash on the root URL of the connection or Operation, so added that last night thinking that was the gotcha I might have been doing wrong. Just an FYI as you'll notice the difference.

Thanks so much for any input, I really do appreciate it.

I was able to get this working by a small modification to the HTTP Client Operation Resource Path.

It was:

/identity/oAuth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=

Changed to:

/identity/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=

Note the case of the "a" in the oauth.

This worked, thanks Victor.

I had no idea that was case sensitive.

Do you have your process properties set up also? You didn't provide a screenshot of those.

[Jim_Clarke]

Hi Kristen, for the sake of just testing the authentication process I only had the three properties currently declared.
Here's what I had:

I didn't share out the values in the screenshot, but i've double checked the values for clientID and Secret.

I did notice there were other authentication type methods on the connector, but I haven't seen an example outside of the blog posting i mentioned earlier.

Kristen Carmean​ or Wyatt Bales​ should know more.

Did you go through the Boomi training? Were they able to help?

[Jim_Clarke]

I've just started, so I didn't go through a proper Boomi training related to Marketo if that's what you're referring.
I'd be happy to read through another source if you have a reference.

Thanks as always for being willing to give input
