    Hi @anu0327 ,

    This below mentioned article very well explains about the authentication.

    @Shahid M in the guide it says we can do it using the canaddian server but i read somewhere that only the north american servers can be used for swagger authorization

    @anu0327 the swagger documentation has since been updated so you will now see all the regional servers listed.

    @anu0327 I believe you are referring to this post? That has since been resolved:

    @anu0327 the authentication is a separate API call and is same across all Services. If you're doing this in swagger, you need to make sure you use the Authenticate option…

    Then, on the Authentication screen, make sure you pick the correct region…

    Let's take this discussion via email. I will send you some questions so I can understand how you are trying out the Workflow APIs. Thanks.

    You can try another "from scratch" path.

    There is a step by step tutorial that sets you up to test connecting to an organization and deploying and testing an app. This should work from any region. This is the link to it: https://mimage.opentext.com/ot/2/devx/vscode/latest/vscode-tutorial.pdf.

    Note though that the tutorial currently still refers to the default region na-1-dev when creating a connection profile in VS Code, and you should select yours (ca). Also, if you only want to test whether your connection works, it is recommended to go directly to the chapter that describes testing the app (currently: chapter 15 "Test the Contract Approval application").
