Custom Connector for application flow with app client credentials

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 302
Hi,
 
I have an API in Azure APIM that is protected with an App Role (myAPI-Administrator). I created an app registration in Entra for exposing the API, and another app registration that has the role to access the API. I can use Postman to request a token from the authorization endpoint, and when I subsequently pass the token in the authorization header as bearer, my API returns a valid response. So far so good, my API works.
 
I want to create a power apps custom connector for this API. I've tried different approaches but have come to the conclusion that only AuthorizationCode flows are supported in the custom connector, and not application flows. The result is that instead of sending a token linked to the client app id and secret, the token generated is pointing to my user.
 
I'm wondering if there is a possible solution with the APIM Credential Manager. My assumption is that this delegates the credential management to the central service instead of the custom connector, and so would potentially allow the custom connector to simply point to the credential manager's credential provider and connection.
 
Has anybody tried this ?
