API Security requirements are constantly evolving and strengthening. As API architectures migrate from traditional authentication models (Basic, OAuth, etc.) to more secure, certificate-based models, like MTLS/MSSL, leveraging Alteryx Designer will become increasingly difficult, especially for larger organizations trying to scale the use of Alteryx across a large user base, with vastly diverse skillsets.
I realize issuing API calls with certificates is possible via the Run Command tool. We consider this a temporary workaround, and not a permanent, strategic solution. The Run Command tool can be clunky to use when passing in variables and passing the output back into the workflow for downstream processing.
Therefore, I would like to request a more scalable approach to issuing MTLS/MSSL API calls. Can an option be added to the Download Tool to allow for certificates to be passed on API calls?
