I'm building a React app that allows users to login with Google and then connects to a webhook/3rd Party service in Realm. The service should only return data that the users own.
I've set up the OAuth 2 with Google and can get back access_token for a user and I then pass it in the header (I've also tried the URL params) to the webhook. But I get an error back saying:
400 "no authentication methods were specified" - "Invalid Parameter".
After much testing, I've identified that it must be a Realm issue - but I can't figure out what.
I've tried authenticating with Google in Postman and sending a request from there like this:
GET <incoming_webhook URL>
Request Headers
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.26.10
Accept: */*
Host: us-east-1.aws.webhooks.mongodb-realm.com
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Connection: keep-alive
But I get the same error.
In Realm I have "Google" enabled as an authentication providers (and the authentication works just not the authorization through the webhook).
Per https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/services/configure/service-webhooks/#configure-user-authentication, you can choose email/password, an API key, or a custom JWT token. I don't know whether you can use google login directly to a webhook, but you're probably better off making a realm function instead.
Regarding the error
no authentication methods were specified
, you can specify the type of authentication method (using a custom JWT as an example) by either:Header:
jwtTokenString
, Value:eyJhbGci.....
OR
If you try to use both methods, you get a
multiple authentication methods used
error. HTTP Bearer tokens in the header, etc, are useless here.For an API Key, instead of
jwtTokenString
, useapi-key
; oremail
`password` for email\password authentication.I found these methods of providing authenticating information really unintuitive and the documentation very unclear.
