Does the plugin support SAML+OAuth authentication mechanism rather than basic?

Hi,

I am trying to deploy API proxy using the apigee-deploy-maven-plugin. The Apigee platform that I am trying to deploy is a private SaaS offering, which has been integrated with SAML and has basic authentication disabled. Today, to deploy proxy in the Apigee platform, I obtain a one-time passcode, then an OAuth access token and then can use this token in my requests to hit the required APIs. How can I do the same here? Does this plugin support SAML+OAuth authentication mechanism? Thanks!

HI @aishwaryaeswaran Check out this link that talks about using oauth with this plugin. There are two options

• Generate the token using the command line you shared and then pass the token to the mvn command. There are profile attributes. Check this
• Set up a machine user as documented here. With that, you can configure that username and password in the pom file. The plugin will use those credentials to generate a token and complete the deployment. With the machine user, you do not need the passcode flow

Hope that helps
