Summary:

Calling BIP from VBCS is requiring userid and password in the SOAP Payload

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

We are building an app extension using vb studio. we have a server connection to endpoint xmlpserver/services/v2/ReportService to make SOAP calls to retrieve BIP report. The connection is using Oracle CLoud Account as authentication mechanism.

Below payload works only when we pass userid and password in the payload. If we remove the username and password, i get error - PublicReportService::initSession Failure: due to empty userID</faultstring></soapenv:Fault></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>. Is there any alternative way to achieve without exposing the cred in payload.
