To configure the driver to use bearer token authentication:
  • Configure the minimum options required for a connection:
    • If you are using a Model file, set the REST Config File (RestConfigFile) option to provide the name and location of the Model file. For example, C:/path/to/myrest.rest.
    • If you are using the REST Sample Path option, set the REST Sample Path (RestSamplePath) option to specify the endpoint that the want to connect to and sample. For example, https://example.com/countries/.
  • Set the Authentication Method (AuthenticationMethod) option to 34 (Bearer token).
  • Set the SecurityToken (SecurityToken) option to specify your the API Token, configured as BearerToken, used for authentication.
  • Optionally, specify values for any additional options you want to configure. See "Connection option descriptions" for a complete list of options.

The following examples demonstrate a session using a Model file with bearer token authentication and using a Model file:

Using a connection URL:

DRIVER=DataDirect 8.0 Autonomous REST Connector;AuthenticationMethod=34;
       RestConfigFile=C:/path/to/myrest.rest;
       SecurityToken=C3TQH9zjwek4CgJCU-4Mxb2DxLNfI2LB3a-dNfpWYx

Using an odbc.ini file with the 32-bit driver: 

Driver=ODBCHOME/lib/ivautorestxx.so
Description=My Autonomous REST Data Source
...
AuthenticationMethod=34
...
RestConfigFile=C:/path/to/myrest.rest
...
