Hi,

I try to add custom static parameter to my upstream IDP. I follow this documentation [https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/pass-parameters-to-idps](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/pass-parameters-to-idps)

I can get the option for my connection via the management API.  
I add the upstream\_params object and try to update the connection by calling:  
PATCH url: http://{{auth0\_domain}}/api/v2/connections/:id  
with the body:

```auto
{
    "options": {
        "scope": "openid scope_all",
        "scripts": {
            "fetchUserProfile": "function(accessToken, ctx, cb) {\n const profile = {};\n // Call OAuth2 API with the accessToken and create the profile\n cb(null, profile);\n }"
        },
        "tokenURL": "https://auth.bas.psc.esante.gouv.fr/auth/realms/esante-wallet/protocol/openid-connect/token",
        "client_id": "XXX",
        "client_secret": "XXX",
        "authorizationURL": "https://wallet.bas.psc.esante.gouv.fr/auth",
        "upstream_params":{
            "acr_values": {"value":"eidas1"}
        }
    }
}

```

but this return the same result than the get connection by id without the upstream\_params  
and the connection is not updated  
Any ideas?

Hi @Troopers,

Some connection types don’t support them. If you share what type of connection are you using, I can confirm it is possible. Thanks

Hi @dan.woda, I created my social connection from the custom social connection

I created a new custom social connection and sent the same `upstream_params` payload with success.

I used the [Management API Explorer](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Connections/patch_connections_by_id) to complete the request. Have you tried it?

Hi dan,  
Strangely it works with the management API Explorer but not with Postman.  
Have you an idea why?  
Thanks you for your help

Can you send a screenshot of your postman setup? Please remove/obscure sensitive info.

Authorization token is inherited from collection

A simple body like this doesn’t work in Postman either  
{  
“options”: {  
“scope”: “openid”,  
}  
}
