Is it possible to create certificate-based authentication for a Web API? The purpose would be for an external system to execute a Web API on our Appian cloud-based application to retrieve data on a daily basis. It was my understanding that it would have to be done with a username/password that would have to be changed regularly. Is that still true?

Based on the docs It should be possible since Web APIs use the same Authentication as the rest of Appian
forum.appian.com/.../Web_APIs.html
and Appian does support certificate based authentication
forum.appian.com/.../Authentication.html
However If the requirement is to have separate authentication mechanisms for Appian and Web APIs then it may not be supported.
