Hi 

To make it more clear let keep your lates post and here is my situation

I have a single test case with 2 REST requests in there:

1- The 1st REST request generates a response that includes the auth token.

2- The 2nd REST request needs the auth token generated by the first /previous rest service, so i don't know how to use the token in first api response in  second one as access token in authorization tab

in this case i try the property transfer between the two steps but can not manage to receive the token in second step (as access token for authorization)

Hey Behdad,

So youre saying youre using the OAuth functionality for your token generation, right....so the token isnt returned in a response payload nor a response header...is that correct?

If that is the case, someone else recently had the same issue and i think i remember HimanshuTayal trying to determine which internal object/property the token value was associated with.
I can't remember if Himanshu sorted it out, but have a search in the soapui AND readyapi! forums for the answer.


Have a look at the following link, and report back your progress
