How to use REST API without needing to authenticate to server AND One Identity console?

Hello,

I'm facing an issue when trying to do REST API calls.

I'm using Postman, and when trying to get a session cookie (authentication), I have to both authenticate twice. Once is my own username and password and once for the admin user for One Identity. Is there a way to omit the need for me using my own username and password? As the calls are being done with plaintext.

I know if I use OAuth, I can forego all of this. But for now, I need to use the Admin credentials until I can figure out the OAuth method.

Thanks,

-Ali

We tried creating a system user in OneIdentity with privileges that we want to provide an application team along with the end point. The purpose is for the app to read 1IM using the account and credentials. However, when trying to test through postman, it's asking for user credentials. Is there any setting that we are missing here?

Please advise

If you need to provide your own user credential, you likely have configured your Application Server to use windows authentication or basic authentication which is not helpful in your use-case.

And, more importantly, if you are worried that those credentials are transported as free text, you should think about turning on HTTPS. Which is always recommended.
