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?

    Thanks Abhi - I haven't worked with Web APIs in the past but based on the documentation, it looks like I'd have to use a HTTP basic authentication to invoke the Appian Web API from another system. In this case, the external system would use the 'GET HTTP' method to retrieve data using the Web API but I'm not sure to set up the authentication scheme for that.
