API authentication issue

varun.guliani88 · June 14, 2023, 2:40pm

I am trying to integrate UiPath with a system X through APIs. However, to make the API call- the UiPath is asking for “client secret” key.

The system owner of this System X does not want to share the client secret key for security concerns.

Is there a way that we could have client secrets stored without any human being able to see it including orchestrator admin?

Welcome to the community

Create an asset of credential type and ask him to store there in the password field…it wont be visible

Thanks for the prompt response.

The issue is that nobody apart from security team has access to this code. So this code cannot be manually entered even in the orchestrator.

Is there another way forward.

If you are using any credential vault can integrate that

Or

You can ask them to give a base64encoded string and decrypt it in your UiPath

Cheers
