Define my http service credentials from properties

[Mani]

Hi guys - How do I set the http service username and password from my own defined properties

I set the below properties  

<property

      as="xs:string"

      name="http.service.username"

      value="abcde"/>

<property

      as="xs:string"

      name="http.service.password"

      value="12345"/>

How do i define these here

<xf:submission

    id="save-submission"

   class="fr-service"

    method="get"

    resource="my-url"

    serialization="none"

    mediatype=""

    xxf:username="http.service.username"

    xxf:password="http.service.password"/>

Thanks

Hi Manish,

The value of `xxf:username` and `xxf:password` accept AVTs (see 1st link
below), so you should be able to use the `xxf:property()` XPath function
(see 2nd link below), as in:

xxf:username="{xxf:property('http.service.username')}"

https://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/core/attribute-value-templates
https://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/xpath/extension-functions/extension-core#xxf-property

You'll let me know if this works for you.

Thanks Alex - Is it secure to use for passwords and would these be available via the client?

Hi Manish,

It won't be available on the browser; the submission is done entirely from
your server running Orbeon Forms to the server running your service. So
users won't see what you're sending, receiving, or anything else related to
the submission.
