  • 2 minutes to read

Operation Information

This operation can perform HTTP GET or POST requests, authenticated by HTTP BASIC.

This is a Free Tier Integration.

Authentication

This operation requires authentication, the details of which can be securely stored on your instance in a KeySafe Key of type HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password).

To create a key of this type:

  • In the Configuration area of your Hornbill instance, navigate to Platform Configuration > Security > KeySafe;
  • Click on the + Create New Key button;
  • On the resulting Create New Key form, choose HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) in the Type pick list;
  • Give the HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) KeySafe key a Title (this is the name / identifier for the HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) account as you will see it when using the cloud automation node in your workflows);
  • Optionally populate the Description field;
  • Populate the following fields accordingly, then click the Create Key button to create your new key:
Name Type Description
Username string Authentication Username
Password string Authentication Password
API Endpoint string Optional API Endpoint

Revoking Access

If at any point you wish to revoke access to any of the above accounts from your Hornbill instance, just delete the relevant KeySafe key(s) from the KeySafe list.

This will revoke the rights of any existing Cloud Automation Node in your Hornbill Workflows that are using the revoked HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) account, so you will need to manage these workflows accordingly.
