Making REST call from browser?
Hi,
Our application needs to make a REST call to fetch data from some Java service.
We are not able to use Connect-REST, however, due to enterprise entitlements. The REST call needs to be made from the user's Browser directly (as the user has single-signon credentials), and not from the Pega PRPC application server.
The REST call returns json data and we'd like to load that data back into a datapage, or workpage.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks
Peter

If this SSO authentication is cookie based, then pass the SSO cookie in header as part of the request in Connect-REST call.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this is not a viable option for us due to our security policy. We can't pass on the cookie at the backend as that would be spoofing.
Any other ideas?

sounds like you want to directly call the java service from the browser. if that is correct, please use the java script ajax call.

Hi,
yes, that's what we're trying to do. I was hoping there was some connector Type we can use, but we've started writing plain old Javascript Ajax code for now.
We are able to consume the Ajax response with JavaScript, but we're not sure how to put the response onto a datapage or clipboard. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Peter, probably another ajax call from browser to pega to invoke an activity that would post the values from request to clipboard?
