FAQPage Schema
How do I securely collect user credentials for a data connector?

You can securely collect user credentials for a data connector by launching a browser-based form via a secure HTTP server. The Skill dynamically generates this form using a connector specification file to capture authentication details safely.

What is the best way to automate authentication for data ingestion workflows?

Automating authentication for data ingestion workflows is handled by initiating a secure browser form to collect credentials. The submitted API keys and secrets are then saved directly to a configuration file for seamless integration.

Do I need a running HTTP server to collect API keys and secrets through a web form?

Yes, a running HTTP server is required to present the browser-based form for collecting API keys and secrets. The server dynamically generates the input fields based on the provided connector specification file.

How does browser-based credential collection work with a connector specification file?

Browser-based credential collection works by reading a connector specification file to dynamically generate a web form. This form prompts the user for their specific authentication details and securely stores the output for the connector.

Can I use this approach to set up authentication for a new cloud service data connector?

Yes, you can use this approach to set up authentication for a new cloud service data connector. It prompts the user to enter their credentials through a web form and stores them safely for the connector to use.

What are the limitations of using browser-based forms for data connector authentication?

The primary limitation is the requirement for a running HTTP server and a connector specification file. Without these prerequisites, the Skill cannot dynamically generate the form to collect user credentials for the integration workflow.
