Hi All, Currently external Apps are able to access our Mendix API through Generic account and password. For the security purpose we are planning Implement Authentication through API Token .

Hi Girish,

I would strongly reccomend you to update your app and jump to the latest LTS version for Mendix 9 as your version is not properly maintained anymore. (You can find more information about the different Mendix Versions here).

Is there a specific reason why you cant jump to a higher version? Else that would be the easiest fix.

With best regards,

Levin

Hi Girish,

you can use oauth for authenticating via token by any of below modules

Mendix Marketplace - OAuth

Mendix Marketplace - OAuth 2 Authorization for APIs - example

OIDC SSO module indeed allows your API implementation to validate the OAuth Access Token / bearer token.

This works both for Access Tokens that were obtained via SSO Authorisation Code grant (SSO) or through Client Credential grant (i.e. client app acting on it's own behalf).
