TestTool - Using OAuth authentication to Business Central

Is it possible to configure the TestTool to use OAuth for connection to Business Central?

Currently are we using Basic Auth, but is will be deprecated https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/deprecated-features-w1

The capability to access web services in Business Central using Web Service Access Key (Basic Auth) is deprecated for SaaS. OAuth2 will be the authentication option for SaaS. OAuth samples are published in the BCTech repo. For on-premises, Web Service Access Key (Basic Auth) will remain an option for the time being. This change has no impact on how Business Central connects to external services.

Hi Michael,
we are aware of that change and we are now working to make it work in the new Enpoint Management module inside Dynamicweb. Probably we will add the OAuth2 support to the Test tool as well in future.
Kind regards, Dmitrij

Sounds good Dmitrij, it really should be implemented in the TestTool since it's a highly valued tool in my toolbox. The sooner the better.

Hi Michael,
until it is not yet implemented in the Test tool you can use a Postman as a workaround and follow this guide to make it work there:
