@danny-dainton Hi again Danny. Forgive the crude copy/paste job I was wondering if anyone has had experience testing a WCF API with a SOAP Action, using Postman ? This is also using OAuth2 I am trying to test using Postman but keep running up against a 401. This is the same when I try SOAPUI. …

Hey @ConnAtBrady :wave: Are you able to share a redacted copy of the HttpClient code that you created? There might be some clues in there about any differences between those requests.

Hi Danny, why are weekends never long enough :smiley: Our developers have advised attaching a server Certificate for this issue, but still getting issues. So I am using a .pfx certificate and now being advised to try a PEM file. Beginning to think this is following the old Confucius analogy of th…
