How to pass certificate over rest request?

I am building an application which registers an external IdP with Okta.
Okta API doc.



In order to do that, I need IdP certificate & other meta data from the user.



Thus workflow will look like this:





  • User calls my endpoint and provides me with Idp details ( certificate
    & meta data )



    My application will then use the user provided Idp Details to call
    Okta and register the IdP.




However, how should user provide me with Idp ceritificate - encrypted or un-encrypted?






api certificate okta

          If you are using https everything is already encrypted. Assuming there is some sort of authentication to access your application, I would probably just proxy the parameters to the Okta API (maybe with some validation to avoid sending known bad requests).



          Does that help?

                    2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce . My SQL looks like this: SELECT PersNbr, PersFirstName, PersMiddleName, PersLastName FROM Pers WHERE PersNbr = :persNbr; I'm saving this query in a DataTable so each column selected has it's own column in the Datatable . I want to make the .DisplayMember a combination of PersFirstName + PersMiddleName + PersLastName so their full name appears like this: comboBox.DisplayMemeber = "PersFirstName" + "PersMiddleName" + "PersLastName" I know I can just to this on the query: SELECT PersNbr, (PersFirstName || PersMiddleName || PersLastName) PersName and then just do this: comboBox.DisplayMember = "PersName"; but I

                    Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

                    Image
                    2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
