CMIS Connector - We are planning to integrate with Filenet using the CMIS Connector that came with 7.5. Appian is running on JBOSS and Filenet on Websphere and both systems authenticate against LDAP. We don't want to use a service/generic account to connect to Filenet and don't want to impose upon the end user to manage their Filenet access via 3rd party credentials(new feature in 7.5).
That being the case, we need to pass the LTPA token in the HTTP request made to the REST AtomPub URL for connecting to Filenet. I assume that this is not available in the current CMIS connector. Has anyone done this approach before? Any suggestions?...

This connector currently supports the use of the credentials stored in the Third Party Credentials admin console page. The constraint of what type of credentials (i.e. username/password) for this connector are explained under the corresponding section at forum.appian.com/.../Connectors in that section it mentions that this connector requires a username/password combination to authenticate. I haven't tried it myself but maybe you could use the Send HTTP Request Node which allows you to send anything you may need in the headers of the request this plug-in is available for download here in Appian Forum under the "Shared Components" record (forum.appian.com/.../all)- Smart Services with the caveat of having to build the request yourself in the body field.
