Kurkula is looking for an answer from a reputable source.
I am creating a azure cognitive service chatbot where I am currently adding static URLs as sources. Is there any option to add a URL as source to questions and answers section where the URL is authenticated via azure active directory authentiation?
Steps Followed:
1. Navigate to Azure portal
2. Search for "Language"
3. Select Create
4. Custom Question Answering
5. Create resource
6. Login to Language studio - Language.cognitive.azure.com
7. Manage sources
8. Add URL (I am adding non authenticated URL as of now).
How can I add a authenticated URL as source for custom Questions and Answers in Language studio
You can authenticate the request through the native Azure Cognitive Auth with Azure AAD: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/authentication?tabs=powershell#authenticate-with-azure-active-directory
Hopefully this is something that you're looking for.

We have an application developed with react and NodeJs and already implemented an MYOB cloud ERP integration to import data. Now we are planning to add a new ERP integration for Acumatica, in the developer document it was mentioned that the rest API is available but I can't find the cloud instance URL, everywhere it was mentioned as localhost only. So can anyone please help me to understand how to connect the Acumatica cloud to fetch details?
Note: I understand the authorization flow like Authorization Code but I'm confused with which URL to use for and I hope it should be a fixed one as it is a cloud URL
The Integration end points is a rather large topic. I am in the process of writing a blog post on it which is more or less a getting started blog on automating stuff and getting info via ReST. The blog itself is in the context of using these services via PowerShell but if you are able to follow along and get to the point of establishing postman examples of what you need to do you should be able to get to the same end result in any language.
You will want to explore The Web Services Endpoint screen in the integration module as this is where all the Contract Based Soap/ReST definitions are managed. You can even set up custom endpoint if you need.
Do you have access to the Acumatica Portal? The best way to get started is with some of the course work there.
Stand by and ill forward some information for you to get started.

The URL for the RestAPI is whatever is the site URL of your Acumatica instance. For example if your Acumatica is hosted in www.ManiMaran.com. To login to your API :
http://ManiMaran.com/entity/auth/login.
I am facing the challenge to request the Bing Ads API to get a couple of metrics from it.
I am using Apache Airflow DAGs hosted on a remote Kubernetes cluster to do so. It is a nice way to automate and schedule tasks.
Now, the documentation is rather light on the point of gaining access to the API.
I have followed this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/guides/authentication-oauth-identity-platform?view=bingads-13#registerapplication
and the official SDK docs https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-Python-SDK/.
I am failing at authenticating when querying, since I am lacking a couple of pieces of information.
When authenticating using the "refresh token" and "redirect URI", I do not have either. (Class OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant here: https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-Python-SDK/blob/294d01eea57d80ba381a42cde8d006fc318af056/bingads/authorization.py#L566)
When using a different method (Class OAuthDesktopMobileAuthCodeGrant here: https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-Python-SDK/blob/294d01eea57d80ba381a42cde8d006fc318af056/bingads/authorization.py#L532), I fail w/
AADSTS700016: Application with identifier '<someidentifier>' was not found in the directory '<somethingelse>'. This can happen if the application has not been installed by the administrator of the tenant or consented to by any user in the tenant. You may have sent your authentication request to the wrong tenant.
Thank you very much in advance! If you need more details, let me know!
Also great documentation in general, if I can make it more "newb"-friendly, let me know!
Edit1:
Sadly, while there has been some traffic to this question, nobody seems to be able to answer.
I will specify the set up a bit further.
We use Airflow DAGs to request daily updates from the API. For this, we need to authenticate. The authentication comes from a "new device" every time, since the code runs on a k8s cluster which allocates the jobs dynamically to it's pods.
For authentication, we ventured into different solutions, but all require some form of human interaction to get the refresh token into the DAG.
Is there any solution which allows for a hands-free deamon like many-server-to-server communication?

Sadly, the Bing Ads API does not show up there.
What key piece of information are we missing?
Bing Ads, like Google Ads, uses OAuth for its API.
If you reference the Getting Started page, it mentions that you need a developer token, complete with links.
You can follow these steps to get a developer token for production.
Sign in with Super Admin credentials at the Microsoft Advertising Developer Portal account tab.
Choose the user that you want associated with the developer token. Typically an application only needs one universal token regardless how many users will be supported.
Click on the Request Token button.
Regarding your specific scenario--an application running in the cloud without an interface--you should know that OAuth requires you to interact with it to set things up. So run your app locally ONCE, or at least the getting_started code from your language's walkthrough: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/guides/walkthrough-desktop-application-python?view=bingads-13
Running it locally will go through the authentication process with your browser and generate a refresh token (in the file refresh.txt by default). Store this file with your code. It will have to be on the server that's making the request, and since it's in Kubernetes, you'll have to keep it with your container file.
I have successfully posted data to IBM Connections using the X-LConn-RunAs Header in my API calls to create Activity Stream Entries, Blog Posts, Wiki Pages, Forum Entries and File Uploads on behalf of someone else although it is not documented in some of the APIs. The only API that does not seem to support this Header is the Activity API. Here is what I did:
I added my technical user to the "trustedExternalApplication" role in the "WidgetContainer" application.
I added my technical user to the "admin" role in all other applications.
I added the X-LConn-RunAs Header to my api call like this: X-LConn-RunAs: userid=D2A7325-...
I made sure the referenced user exists in IBM Connections.
I sent my call to: http://myconnections/activities/service/atom2/activity?activityUuid=GH765...
The post is still being created with the technical user as creator instead of the user referenced by X-LConn-RunAs. I tested this against my on premises IBM Connections 5.0 installation as well as IBM Connections Cloud. While all other API calls support this Header the Activities don't.
Did anybody have more luck than myself and figured out how to use it or is there another way to achieve the same result with a different header or some additional information in the message body? I tried to send an <author> element but that is being ignored as it says in the documentation.
As just heard in an IBM Connect 16 session (you are sitting left of me ;-) ), as of today Impersonation of activity stream and status update data is not possible
I've finally got the beta services added to my bluemix project.
But it's not very clear how the integration with slack should be configured.
I have an account, team, and channel already. The link in the instructions points to OAuth authentication. Your options are to register an app (but for that you need to know things like the secret, redirecting URI, etc). That can't be right...
Are there any more details available on how to configure Slack for a bluemix project?
If you look at the linked documentation here: https://api.slack.com/web#authentication
There are 2 ways to authenticate with Slack. The first is to use a generated full-access token and the second is to register the application and use OAuth 2 with Slack.
Currently, the Bluemix project beta supports the first method of authentication only. If you are logged into your Slack team(s) and go to the link above, you should see the option to generate tokens for each of the Slack teams you are a part of. That is the token you will need to enter when configuring the Slack integration on the integrations page for your Bluemix project. The other field that you must fill in is the Slack channel that you want to post events to, which you already seem to have.

What is recommended way to Sign in / Log in to MobileFirst Server with e.g. Facebook, or Twitter? My MobileFirst Server is associated with WebspherePortal (LDAP).
Now I'm using WebSphere LTPA-based authentication
to login to MF, and everything works fine, but I want to allow users to log in with social media accounts too.
In official page developer.ibm.com (Authentication and security section) there is no suggestion how to connect with social network account.
There is no built-in mechanism in MobileFirst Platform Foundation 6.3-7.x to allow for cross social login "account" < > MobileFirst Server "user identity account" communication. This will have to be a custom implementation to do.
That said, in MobileFirst Foundation 8.0 this has become much simpler and there are two blog posts published with two methods to accomplish using Security Checks. You can find detailed information on this (which goes beyond the scope of this question so I am not writing it as part of the answer), here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/blog/2016/04/06/social-login-with-ibm-mobilefirst-platform-foundation/
If you must use an older release of MobileFirst Platform then I advise to read the above blog post still and see if you can re-implement it in the previous security model.
