Issues with Rest AFX connector

[Anjankumarkale1]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to do one de-provisioning integration using the REST API. For this I'm using Aveksa's OOTB restful API connector and selecting "remove entitlements from an account". Connector itself isn't working even though we passed everything correctly. we are using 6.9.1.101054 P09.

Did Contact RSA's engineering team and their response was "- the underlying 3rd party code that we use doesn't send the request body for DELETE requests. Typically a DELETE does not contain a request body. In the version we use in 6.9.1 - it only uses the request body for POST and PUT requests. In next version which we use in 7.0.0 and up, mule has added PATCH to the methods for which it sends the request body. "

So my question is, as we cannot use that connector anymore. what would be the alternative way to do the deprovisioning integration?

Normally the REST call uses PUT or POST and put the delete information in the Request Body. In this particular case, can you request the vendor of the endpoint to add such calls? DELETE calls are used to remove resources normally.

If the PUT or POST is not supported in this case, would recommend to develop a custom connector using the Java SDK.

Thanks for your response, I'll ask vendor. They are using swagger api. i'm not sure whether they couldbe be able to add such calls or not.
