Adjusting the User's Authenticate Method to Read Invocation Status in HTTP Response

Add a parameter called InvocationStatus in the Authenticate method. This parameter receives an object of type ExternalServiceInvocationStatus, which we previously defined.
Define_Map For(*INPUT) Class(#ExternalServiceInvocationStatus) Name(#InvocationStatus) Pass(*BY_REFERENCE) Mandatory(*NULL)
And add the following code to read the status from the response object after #Request.DoGet:

• Get the request status
  If (#InvocationStatus *IsNot *Null)
     #InvocationStatus.FromHttpResponse( #Request.Response )
  Endif
  The complete source code of the Authenticate method after the adjustments (new lines are highlighted in yellow):
