We are currently using "SFTP Smart Services" (https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/sftp-smart-services#) to connect SFTP and retrieve and send files to folder of SFTP. We connect using External System Key that uses username and password. Recently, the requirement has changed to have a multi factor authentication for this connect, i.e., every time we connect to SFTP there will be an OTP sent to an email ID and that needs to be used to connect to SFTP along with user credentials. Please let me know any leads on this.

I have a .pem and .key file provided by ADP. I have uploaded to the Admin Console under "Certificates" --> "Trusted Server Certificates", when I add it to the "Client Certificates" I get a error for missing key file even though I'm not sure how to add it as well since its only looking for a .pem file. First question: is this correct to add it under the "Trusted Server Certificates" to use in an integration that calls the web service or should it be in "Client Certificates" and if so, how do I add the key? Now I read in the documentation that you're supposed to create a "Connected System" with HTTPS and set Authentication to "None". But I have a client id and client secret to add but to the body. Second question: Do I create a Connected System with None Authorization, then create an Integration that adds the client id/client secret to the Body in there? Third question: how do I utilize the client certificat

Hii Team,           Currently we are trying to use webhook for getting back the signed document from adobe.

Can anyone suggest how can we resolve this?    Thanks in advance.

I am trying to access Appian data from an external system. If I send a 'GET' request on the URL of the webapi with the appropriate endpoint, I run into Cross Origin Resource Sharing problems and the headers provided do not pass my pre-flight request.
