Hi Eliot, this plugin was of great help when integrating to the Azure Service Bus. Now we need to talk to Azure Cosmos DB and they found, annoyingly, another way of building auth tokens The key itself is base64 encoded and must be decoded before usage. See https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/rest/api/cosmos-db/access-control-on-cosmosdb-resources?redirectedfrom=MSDN. I did not find a way to do that in Appian. Any ideas? I almost don't dare to ask if you can add another function to the plugin.

Hi Stefan, did you ever find a solution? We're trying to do the same thing with Azure Storage API SAS, which also provides a base64 encoded key.
