Custom Connector to API with API Key & gateway

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 67

Dear all,

 

I'm trying to build a custom connector to access an internal API secured with an API Key. Of course I need to go through a gateway secured with Windows authentication.

 

When I created the API from an OpenAPI file, it automatically documented the security mechanisms with the API Key at this point.  This option is not available is you manually create the connector by the way.

 

Then I got an error on the gateway authentication. 

 

I ended up getting a reply by adding the API Key in the base URL & selecting Windows at step 2. Still it asked me for email and password for the gateway when I created the connection.

 

Does any one know the clean way of doing it ?
