Snapstart URL not working
Hi,
I am using below URL to launch Pega in a modal window from an external website. But keep getting "Invalid Request: 400"
http://localhost:8080/prweb?UserIdentifier=<User name>&Password=<pwd>&pyActivity=Work-.NewFromFlow&InsClass=SL-CA-Analyzer-Work-Onboarding&FlowType=pyStartCase&HarnessPurpose=Perform

Hi,
Instead of localhost, use IP address and try.
Thanks,

Hi,
The Password needs to be base64 encoded and then that result URL encoded. Have you done that?
Example Password: thisisnotsecureatall
Base64 Encoded: dGhpc2lzbm90c2VjdXJlYXRhbGw=
URLEncoded: dGhpc2lzbm90c2VjdXJlYXRhbGw%3D
This is also not very secure. For example the web servers will possibly have a log file containing URL's in them that show a username and password for accessing a system.

@ChrisKoyl I have a requirement to launch Pega Case everytime a new guest clicks on an external web application. Initially I was thinking of implementing using snapstart URL but as you stated the credentials get exposed in query string. Now I am considering SSO to get a new user created everytime guest clicks the button to launch Pega.
