Need to implement Rest connectors in PEGA 6.3 using grant_type as "client_cert"
Hello,
We are using pega 6.3v, we have a requirement to invoke external service using Connect-REST to receive token as a response.
for this we need to use client certificate authentication.
Has anyone tried REST connector with client certificate authentication by passing grant_type as "client_cert".
Thanks in advance.

This is being done with OAuth 2.0 support in Pega 7.2.2 forward, I believe. See this PDN link -> https://pdn.pega.com/oauth-20-rest-integration/oauth-20-rest-integration
For 6.3, can you make the call for the token and map the return value to the clipboard? Then use it in the subsequent call? If session maintenance is required, use Maintain Session option.

Hi paul,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually we are not able to call the service to get token,it is throwing "peer not authenticated" error.
as we are providing grant_type as "client_cert" in request,client certificate is installed at server level,but still we are not able to connect to the server.

First off, are you on 6.3sp1?
Secondly, please review this reference - https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/peer-not-authenticated-error-when-connecting-rest-service. Let me know how this works.
You could also test with Connect-HTTP. I'm going to have to look into SSL support for REST in 6.3.
Open an SR and we can take a closer look.

Hi Paul,
yes we are on 6.3sp1. Now we are able to get the token from service after installing Hotfix.
The other part of our requirement is to connect to an API through Connect-REST Post method using the token received from first service.for this we need to pass file as attachment and some metadata in body of the request.I am able to call the service and perform functionality using Postman(attached postman configuration)
As suggested in one of the article in PDN(https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/unable-send-attachment-connect-rest),we tried to set required properties on pyRequestAttachmentPage and for meta data i am setting required data to one property and sending it in the request through body of the connect-Rest rule(attached PRPC Configuration).But i am getting error in response saying "Current Request is not a multipart request".
Please advise me how i can send both attachment and metadata in request.
Thanks,
Jyothi.
