We are thrilled to introduce an improvement in Marketplace Apps that will enable developers to provide multiple authentication types to their sub-account users at the moment of installation.
What’s New?
- Developers now have the capability to establish any authentication process by crafting the external authentication login form as necessary. This signifies that they can now facilitate new authentication structures like Auth Token, Username & Password, etc.
- We have further augmented the adaptability of configuring various kinds of Auth endpoints. This encompasses configurable HTTP methods, a user-friendly UX to map user credentials to request parameters, and incorporating params in the HTTP header/body.
- Developers can now scrutinize the authentication on the configuration page before forwarding the app, offering an exceptional developer experience.
Why was this enhancement necessary?
Prior to this update, we only supported API Key as the unique external authentication method. This latest update addresses that limitation by giving developers flexibility and therefore broadening the scope of integrating with a more extensive range of third-party apps.
