We invoke a web service using tREST  (no WSDL - so we CANNOT use tWebServiceInput) and extract XML based on XPath queries defined in tExtractXMLField - we then use tMAP to pass on the result to a csv file - which in turn gets sFTPd over to a local server (see attached diagram 1)


There is an additional change we are looking to make:

For OTHER components like tWebServiceInput  (which we CANT USE) one can add security - AND add certs as described in diagram 2 - this adds a layer of security to the call

~~~

How do we add security in tREST similarly ?

How do we configure tREST for security  ? Do we simply add Authorization Headers under HTTP Headers - see attached diagram 3  ? This is a SIMPLE GET REQUEST API call.


Is it perhaps a good idea to instead scrap tREST and replace with tFileFetch instead  (see diagram 4 and diagram 5) ? Is tFileFetch used commonly for making web service calls and extracting output?


Any advice would help

Thanks
