http client certificate authentication

Posted on by Martin CPA 174

Hi,

It would be great if someone can point me in the direction an example of how to populate the pfx field of an http action.

A pfx file is in binary format but the field requires base64.

Mention has been made of storing it on onedrive or sharepoint. If this is the solution how to do you point the pfx field to the location?

Have spent days trying to get this to work.

 

Thank you.

    @MartinHutchcpa 

     

    You need to get the file content once it is stored in sharepoint

     

    Then you select the file content into the pfx field except you will use forumla - base64('file content in here')

     

    So make a formula in the field and select the file content form the dynamic menu to put inside the base64 formula.

     

    Check this thread, it helped me figure it out.

    Hi,

    convert the file to base64 witout base64() function of Power Automate.

    try to use third party like https://www.browserling.com/tools/file-to-base64.

    and put it in Pfx field.

     

    Thanks,

    Assaf.
