WebService Server Environment

This module connects two existing Odoo features: web service backends (the records that describe how Odoo talks to an external API) and Server Environment, which reads configuration from files on the server.

Once installed, the connection fields of a web service backend can be driven by the server configuration. The fields covered are the protocol, URL, authentication type, username, password, API key and its header, content type, and all the OAuth2 settings (flow, scope, client id, client secret, authorization URL, token URL, audience, token method, client authentication method, header and value).

• When a backend is not using OAuth2 authentication, the OAuth2 flow value is automatically cleared, so irrelevant settings do not stay filled in.
• Existing values that are not managed by the server environment are preserved when the module is installed.
• If the module is uninstalled, the database columns that had been removed for these settings are restored, so no data structure is lost.

The module installs itself automatically when both web service and server environment features are present. It works on the webservice.backend model and does not add menus or screens of its own; the settings appear on the existing web service backend form.
