Hi,

I am planning to use WebAPI to get the active tasks for a process.

Regarding authentication, i would like to pass credentials as part of the request. Is this possible?

We have LDAP in place. Do we need to use third party credentials to achieve authentication?

What are all the possible ways that we can authenticate WebAPI?

Thanks in advance.

If by "part of the request" you mean as a query parameter or in HTTP header, that is not supported by WebAPI. You'll need to do HTTP basic authentication.

If the request came directly from end-user browser who is an Appian user, it will automatically use the same session that the user already logged-in to Appian. If you have SSO setup, this will be seamless for end-user, even without logging in before.
