    All,

    I was able to get it fixed by connecting with OneStream support. Basically, there are some information missed in the Rest API documentation.

    After all the setup is done as per the documentation, we need to add a native user and, in the authentication, select as external user (Azure or Okta etc whatever you have for external AD). And in the external user name you need to provide the client ID as setup at the Azure or Okta. 

    Then in your rest API connection you need to use this native user name and the client secrets as the password.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks,

    Vasanth

Thanks Chris for your response. It is actually an on-premises setup, and we are trying to configure API and running into the issues mentioned.

Is Azure configured correctly and can you login using external auth? If so then you'll have to look at the REST api config. There is one change on the AZURE which I cannot remember correctly now that needs to be configured on Azure. However, this is not the error that I remember seeing.
