Hi,
Working with 3rd party endpooints, we were looking for a way to use the Endpoint Manager to store those, but seem to have hit a snag because of the Authentication.
Considering the Authentication types, we've came across 2 distinct situations:
- Single-use/Dynamic Bearer Token
- Essentially we need to call a specific endpoint to get a token (submitting certain parameters), rather than being a value we can introduce
- Bearer Token, but submitting a few other header parameters
- Those can vary
And then obviously, each API will have their own schema, so it's would be hard to configure how to interpret the response and/or how to read the expected value.
So far, looks like we cannot extend the Authentication Types, so we're trying to figure out if we missed anything OR if it can be turned into a Provider Based list, so that we can extend with custom authentication needs.
Additional Info
The use case for this is for use to communicate with 3rd party endpoints that would return data in json or xml or whatever format and store those as a file (request triggered by a scheduled task), that are later used, for instante in a Data Integration job
