Using API Key Authentication Type While Connecting to On-prem Gateway

(2) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am trying to retrieve different data from an enterprise UiPath Orchestrator environment using their APIs calls. All of these API calls require that I be connected to my organization's on-prem gateway, but some of them also require a bearer token in the header.

My issue is when an on-prem gateway is selected you do not get the option for an API Key authentication type, which means I can't both connect to the gateway and pass a bearer token at the same time. Is there a way to create a custom connector that can both connect to an on-prem gateway and use Authorization: Bearer Token in the header, without writing my own custom APIs?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Anonymous,

If you create a custom connector that needs to use the On-prem Gateway, then the Authentication type cannot use API Key.

Such features are currently not supported.

I am afraid that your requirements cannot be achieved currently.

Best Regards,

Barry
