How to manage FME Flow delegated permission web connections when FME Flow is set as the connection storage in Form

Hi,

In articles such as this: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407440139533-How-to-Create-a-SharePoint-Single-Tenant-Web-Connection-for-FME-Flow the workflow for publishing web connections with delegated permissions is to upload to Flow, and then modify the underlying Web Service. 

However, if FME Flow is set to be the connection storage, then that Web Service will be modified for Form as well as Flow.

I am wondering how to manage this? Should I create two web services and web connections and upload both to Flow, then edit the Flow version to include the client secret? 

Then we would need to develop the workspace in Form using the Form specific connection, and then switch to the Flow version before publishing?

It would be good to get some guidance on best practice for this.

Thanks,

Marc

    As a follow up, I see that this article: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/36221954492557-Using-FME-Flow-for-Connection-Storage-in-FME-Form recommends not configuring different connections for Form and Flow, which seems to contradict the other article.  Can we please get some clarification.

    Thanks,

    Marc

    Hi ​@mgg_beca, 

    Great question! 

    When using FME Flow Connection Storage, you only need to configure the web service once to work in FME Flow and it can then be used in both FME Form and FME Flow.

    In the SharePoint example, you would configure the azure app registration to use the web platform with <your FME Flow URL>/fmeoauth as the redirect URI and create a client secret. These are then used in the web service definition in FME Form, which is kept in sync automatically with FME Flow when using Flow Connection storage, as you mentioned.

    The OAuth 2.0 connection-specific articles found in the the Knowledge Base focus on how to configure web service connections that will work on Form and Flow if FME Flow Connection Storage is not used. We’ll work to update them to reference Flow Connection Storage as well.

    Please let me know if you have further questions!
