Pre-Requisites
- If not already installed on your laptop, download and install Postman from the Internet. Alternatively, you can use the online web version of Postman.
- Create a workspace, if required, and click “Import”, “select files” and navigate to the location where you downloaded the lab materials in Exercise A. From the “Postman” folder, select the 9 Postman Collections - “Exercise X -...” files (I-Q).
- Click “Import”, “select files” and again from the “Postman” folder select the “Workshop.postman_environment.json” file.
- Within the “Environments” tab, select the newly-created “Workshop” environment and enter a “CURRENT VALUE” for each of the variables that matches your environment (or come back to this later when you have completed the config in Exercise I).
“baseurl” - should look like your own version of “https://martin.uksouth.cloudapp.azure.com/”
“redirect_uri” - “https://oidcdebugger.com/debug”
“client_id” (your value will come from Exercise I, step 70)
“client_secret” (your value will come from Exercise I, step 71)
“access_token” - leave blank as this will get auto-populated later.
“refresh_token” - leave blank as this will get auto-populated later.
noteIf you are using the online version of Postman, the “current value” settings are lost whenever you perform a fresh login to Postman. In that case, ensure to copy the relevant values to the “initial value” also.
- Save changes.
- On the Collections tab, top right hand corner, select the dropdown arrow and choose the “Workshop” environment you just setup.
- You are now ready to use Postman in the coming lab exercises.
